Leaf plates? Yeah I have 2x2 steel welded on top of my plates in the rear. Works very well

But besides all that, like I said, I don't know of anyone else.

Yea but the way I see it, for the prices of even buying used is crazy for something that may be smashed up. I see your view of it.

At jeeps in the vineyard, this nut had aluminum siding as flares and take them off em wheeling. Looks like it took 10 mins for him to do. It was a wrangler

Ok so I know this issue has been addressed but I've searched all the write ups for the last two weeks and tried all the solutions but nothing works. My fog lights won't work. It's a 98 Cherokee. Checked the relay and replaced it. Nope. Checked the switch, pulled it apart, and nothing was melted. Checked the #7 fuse, not blown. Checked the wires, nothing cut. Any other issues I should check?

I've been thinking about what to do for flares on mine. I'm planning on flat steel with tube on the outer edge to hold shape. Debating between weld-on the fenders or some kind of quick disconnect system.

Any input on a QD besides the obvious "bolt it on/off" answer?

This takes on a whole new meaning when viewed from the phone app in the bathroom. You should eat more fiber.
