It is nice work though, a lot better than some of the close-your-eyes-and-flail-the-angle-grinder trim jobs I've seen!

Wait until they are painted and everyone will like them. I forgot how aggressive a vehicle can look just based on flares.

It did take probably 20 minutes to decide how high/low forward/backward to locate them. I aimed the flares for centered over the wheel so I didn't have a retarded gap on the back of the tire while the front of the flare remainedthe untrimmed. It will take some extra time doing it my way but my jeep is Logan custom EVERYTHING! Thanks to all the positive feedback, and the haters; JEEP love for all. I've definitely seen mods where I thought, I could make it look cleaner than that guy, sometimes it works and sometimes it don't. For any noobs/novice custom guys doing this it will require patience and a few test mock ups to get that "right" angle/arch/look

Anyone ever thought about these flares?

They look just like BWs but maybe not as wide and they look like those v2 flares someone on here is selling too but they're $400. These are $230 but not painted. Seems like a good deal.

Good for you! I was going to do TJ flares on mine, too, but came across a pretty good deal for the BW flats. Be sure to post pics of the finished product!

6k, yes they work... Kinda

I hate them because they flicker, shine a horrible pattern and the high beams are dimmer than the low beams.

Looked under my jeep to check what model T/case i have out of curiosity, and discovered it has a slow leak at the rear output. Awesome.

Got it muddy and realized Jeep ordered me the wrong type of PCV valve(After refusing to show me a picture of the original one that was ordered). $26 difference, so i used the returned money to buy parts for my upcoming cowl intake mod.
