I installed the Napier flat flares so I could run the 35s I just ordered. They grabbed hold of the factory flares on a turn out of the driveway and broke the bottom of them off... I had been meaning to get a set of flares for it anyway...this sped the process up!

Thanks! I'm running about 4.5". It's bump-stopped for the 33's I had with factory flares. I might have to adjust it a little.

I've been looking at those flares. How do you like them?

Right on man. Keep us updated with how that works out. I've been curious myself.

Your rig looks sick, except for the fact you put the white letters on the inside! White letter tires look badass on a white rig!

Eh.. White letters belong on CJs and early 80s Broncos, in my opinion

I'm partial to the white letters out myself... but definitely to each their own.

I like the way they turned out. There was definitely a learning curve from the first side to the second. The driver's side (second side) went faster than the first. There were times when I wished there was a more "precise" way of fitting them and figuring out where they'd "land" once the sheet metal had been cut away. I had to do a little trimming on them with a grinder with a flap disc, but nothing major and I think they look like they came from the factory with these. I signed up for the Bleepin Jeep discounts...really good deal.

Thanks, man! You guys are funny though!
I've always preferred the white letters in on my trucks. I've seen enough OWL tires that have turned into "white walls" from abuse and some from very little abuse (old GY Wranglers come to mind) and I REALLY don't like the look of a white wall on a jeep!
