    I know how you feel. I ran a set like those for a while, but I didn't like the way they closed up the wheel openings, and thought they made the Jeep look like a newer one..

    Looks good though,,, I remember when I had flares to keep the mud off,,, didnt think I'd miss them till the first time I had a foot of each side of the inside of the windshield coated in 3/4 inch of mud :) Good thing we don't get too much rain here.

    if they have 7 screws through the body (not through the fender lip) then I'd bet they're Crowne Ind. units, just installed a set on Kahuna

    On the early CJ's the tire doesn't stick out far enough to need those.

    Seems to me they would increase your chance of body damage if the flare makes contact with a tree or rock, since they are buper rigid and bolted to the sheetmetal. They wouldnt give but the sheetmetal under them would, where a plastic/rubber flare would give before the body was damaged if it was a minor contact.
    IMHO.
