    I was getting tired of being sprayed by mud from the rear tires sticking out past the tub. The flares also add some good protection to the side of the body.

    Can you post another picture straight on from the side and from the rear angle, one showing the spare?

    They do make flares for the 2-3A-B, I think 4WD sells them, it is what I am using on my 2A

    Those look really good. I especially like how the angle matches the front fender shape.

    Years ago there were half round rubber flares and they sold coils of the same rubber flares, don't know if they still make this???

    These 7 flares look like they will work good...BUT for me, they just don't fit the old jeep "look"...it will take some gettin' used to!!! Just sayin'!

    Flexy Flares

    The problem with those is they screw on from the inside thus decreasing the wheel well opening. And they only go to about 4.5" widths and do not stay "round". I'm fighting with this on my 3B right now as the "wide tread" FC 150 axle puts the outside of the tires about 6" from the tub. I think my solution is going to be a tub mounting similar to Nate's but with just a 2" lip sticking out and then attach a flat piece of conveyor belting to that. I want to keep the round profile and would much prefer to have flexy rubber out there to do the meet and greet with boulders and trees.
