Guys, bit of advice needed? my 79 cj7 is running on 33x12.50x15's no power steering but managable. I have a set of xenon / bushwacker 6 inch flares to fit on the cj but the 12.50's will be less than flush to the outside of the arches.
Would it be a bad idea to go 13.50 or 14.50 wide?
not much choice around for these tyres but there is a set of 35x14.50x15 boggers just been put on ebay.
Advice would be greatly apreciated. :greggmo:
-
You just said the B-word. That instantly makes people's eyes glaze over. You must have the boggers at all costs.
In reality, bushwackers are pretty brittle, and boggers without power steering sounds like a handful.
-
theyre on ebay with a staring price of £500, 10mm left in the middle. over inflated by the sounds of it. My jeep will be used a fair bit on the road so boggers would be too aggresive wouldnt they?
-
buy the boggers for off roading and fit A/Ts that fit with out the buttwacker arches for road use
-
are they xenon or shitwackers?
I have some 1.5" or 1.75" (cant remember right now) billet steel spacers unused for a CJ, they are unused as i am forever buyin stuff and changin my mind, so after buyin them i decided to put dana 44's on instead, so assumin they arent fooked (again will kno after xmas) i will be sellin the spacers if ya interested
and as for boggers :drool:
but would be a mare if ya usin them on the road
-
Im a bit confused now! googled the flares what i thought were xenons but cant see anything similar! :017:
These flares were on my 2 old cjs (B304 CRN & CJZ4422 stupidly lifted on 44's!) They are the same moulded shape of the front wings with flat top & the rears are kind of like boxed arches that cover the whole of the rear section up to the door curve.
-
any of these?

Do you cut out your old wings and wheel arches to fit those things or do they go straight over the top of the existing?
Breed em hard in Wales looks like you have a spare wheel as a head rest in that photo. :icon_eek:
-
:098: hehehehe, I thought the 1st comment would have been about my ugly mug!! that was in a car show, I had some rims in the back for sale!!
They fit over existing, you could cut out the steel arches but wouldnt gain anything.
There doesnt seem to be much positive vibes on these flares!!! I quite like them mself, Maybe a welsh thing!!!!
-
the styling is personal, but can't see them lasting 5 mins between the trees
-
I have been trying to give away a set of them for 4 years...... No fecker wants them,and no they are not howes,they are from rugged ridge but they don't make them now.
-
very tidy CJ mate :greggmo: can never make up my mind about those wheels
and cant make up my mind about the flares either TBH, but im veerin towards weird :003: im just tryin to get my head around the concept first: arent they just a rust encourager?
-
he he i was only bein cruel they be fine if you look up the old yj renagade they had the same lookin kind of body kit its a bit zakspeed capri to me :017: must say i always thought that they were xennon made but not for long
-
i was convinced they were xenon too! good to know though, bit worrying if they did get damage if theytr not made anymore!
At lease panic has got a free spare set for me incase!! Ha! :icon_biggrin:
-
