i think that the guy that works with TW( i think his name is travis) has a CJ7 that runs 15x 12" and has some nice looking flares to cover not sure what brand or if custom made but looked good could try contact them
or TW might post on here if he see's it

worth a try

Allan,

Are they CJ or YJ pocket style flares from bushwacker there ?

Bush wacker only has the pic of their horrible ricer table top flat flare that I hate the look of for a CJ but they mention they have pocket style ones

I like the look of that CJ and have seen the YJ ones on a CJ8 that looked very tough

How much cutting is needed for these ? more or less than a TJ flare ?

I think the cost will kill it but I like them better than TJ flares

Talk to Sub as Mark had a few issues with his XJ flares as they require massive cutting to fit and were a PIA

Also I would ask on JU as there is a lot more chance one of those guys have seen them in the flesh unlike us

May even be interested in a set if that changed the price any but doubt it you know me but I am a tight A$$ and dont spend much on my budget CJ

The guy i seen with the cj told me he had to cut a bit out but not sure

Im thinking of the 4.5 rubicon lift , those flares and 35's and ditch the
body lift and hey presto the jeep is done

sounds like a mean setup to me

That would be my path of choice if the $$$ permited

I know they are on a CJ but often they put yj flares on a cj so I wasnt sure as I siad I have never seen "CJ" bushwaker flares although their website say they exist
