Custom Cj fenders for Tj flares

[Petescj]

Most of you know Im not a fan of high suspension / shackle and or body lifts. Everything is fine in moderation so to speak. Thats why I always tout the Tj fender flare modification for Cjs. This mod really opens up the wheel area for your Cj to accept larger tires without the disadvantage of a higher center of gravity or the danger of snapping longer body mount bolts in off camber / under load situations.

The downfall of using Tj flares is you have to cut your existing fenders and the body lines dont match up well if your not a professional body man. The rear fenderwell isnt a problem but the front fenders can be unsightly.

Enter Jeff Scherb. Youve probably seen me mention his work here before here:

How about these new fiberglass fenders Jeff has come up with that work on a Cj Grill and follow the line of the Tj flares. If I can get my hands on a set I'll be using them for sure. Heres a couple pics showing what Jeff has done with a complete fiberglass front clip using a Cj grill for a Tj / Lj

yes please. one question though. can you open the rear wheel wells up to accept the tj rear flares on a CJ5?

 

[Petescj]

Yup. Ive seen them on one CJ5. If I can dig up a pic I'll post it. Not sure if I can remember where I saw it though.

Call it what you want but that is pretty freakin cool. What an interesting idea. How many beers did it take to inspire this creation?

Thanks guys, I was just a part of it, our club hosts a big "summer bash" every year with a huge bbq and we decided -as pointed out under the influence of many beers- we decided we needed a bigger grill. One of club members donated the CJ and we went to work!

The best part is we heated the frame pulled it in and welded on a tow receiver. You will notice the turn signals are red we made them brake lights. I can't imagine the thought going thru people's heads as they come up on a jeep facing backwards.
