Jeep YJ highline flares

[AYIAPhoto]

Spotted a YJ wrangler today with fender flares of a tube frame/steel skin that I have not seen before. They had no lip like traditional/factory flares and the fronts were level with the front fenders(which were bobbed in the front much like a flat-fender). Does anyone know of a manufacturer who produces such a product, or are they most likely a 1-off item?
I'm planning to redo a lot of items on my '87 over the next few months(including paint and lining the tub) and as it sits now I believe these flares will allow me to move up to a 35" tire without touching the suspension. I've seen ones on JKs that are very similar, although the JK fender and flair are one piece.
Any help would be greatly appreciated as my Google-**** seems week on this one.

Yeah, several people produce these. Smittybilt makes bolt on ones. This site has several http://www.4wd.com/


There's some more out there, but I'm not sure how to find them.

Thanks, the warrior products ones appear to be the ones I had seen. At $300+ though it looks like I'll be building them if I go that route.

I built tubular fenders for one of my old Jeeps, and I bet I probably still have the dimensions for the mounts at the grill (won't help you) and the firewall (might help you?).

I had seen whole fender kits before but the price was too high. My fenders having nothing wrong with them, the tube flairs seemed like a good choice. Again unfortunately, $700 for the whole set is too much for me(probably well worth the money but trying to do this on a budget). Once I get the fuel cell and new drivetrain mounts in I'll just have to sneak it over to my cousins steel shop under cover of darkness.

Yes, they are expensive. That's a lot of hours of work after taxes for most of us.

Check over on the YJ forum at jeepforums.com. There is a company manufacturing "plastic" fenders from a very flexible, durable material that give you the flat fender look and overlay the stock (albeit trimmed) front fenders. The beauty of those versus the tubular metal ones is that they will take a minor impact and bounce right back as opposed to metal ones that transmit the impact into the grill and other sheet metal potentially causing more damage. They are priced under $200 and I'm very seriously considering purchasing a set of my build.
