I'm interested of course I wont commit to a set untill I can see them done though. plus see what they cost and shipping.
how will these bnolt up , to the oem fender ( act as a flare ) or replace the fender all together ?
It would have to be replacement for the fender or they would useless.
These would help with running wheels that stick out real far with rubbing.
oh yeah, that would be cool. how far would they stick out, wider than stock i hope.
once I see the finish product I will be able to make up my mind.
The guy that has the JBA test Jeep already has a set made. See if he will get some specs on the ones he is running, it looks mean from the front, but i would like to see a profile as well.
High line fenders ona XK/WK. That would be cool...except that it prob isn't possible.
anything is possible. Im just not sure of the look without the oem fender covering the inner unibody.
The few XK's I've seen running around with there flares off I think looked better then the stock look with them on but thats me.
Sure, but what I understand, not only will the flare be off but the entire fender will be off and you will see something similar to this. I hope this is not the case.

Here is a Commander without fender flares:

I am going to start here and then bolt custom made flares on using the OEM mounting holes and added support.
They will not be armored defense, but the stock fenders don't provide much protecting anyway.
So you are making tube FLARES , not tube FENDERS . Removing the fender would be a bad idea, I think.

Check his out, I think he removed the whole fender
I t is hard too say because it is a front shot but I think you are right. I do not plan on removing the fenders.
page 1 has some side pics. the fenders are on it, cant tell if he removed them to do the mod and then reinstalled them.
I won't remove my fenders either. The wife already thinks I'm crazy:)
any update on these?
Yeah I would definately like to see how these turn out. I need tube fenders bad!!!
EDIT: Just looked at the thread Holaday07 posted from the other forum and that JeepinbyAl XK looks absolutely SICK from the front. I want a similar bumper and those tube fenders look awsome. I want side view pic!
I bet they look good. If you look at the picture again you can see there is a support that goes into the wheel well. Or at least thats what it looks like to me. My assumption is he has several of these supports holding the tube fenders on. But then again maybe Im totally wrong. Oh and he's definately not running fenders or flares in that picture. And if you look close enough, he doesnt have the oem turn signals either. I want them!
How about a link to said picture
It was in the last post of page 2 in this thread. Here it is.

Doc has my Commander while I am in Oregon. I look forward to getting back around the 10th of July and seeing my new fenders and rock rails.

Right on, Can't wait to see how it turns out.
