    I'm not a fan of the of the riveted look of Bushwhackers and don't need 6" fiberglass flares.
    I would like stock looking flares but an inch or two wider on each side.
    Does anyone make such a thing?

    Haven’t seen any. not sure about 2nd but they have “stock” looking fiberglass setups for 3rd gen that are wider and super clean. If it exists I may go that route.

    They're made and come from Thailand. Probably not a very popular item anymore so production is most likely spotty.

    Exactly what I was looking for. I'll shoot them an email later and see what they say.
    Thanks!

    more or less. They do have more factory-looking fender setups now that are wider. 3rd gens have some pretty good-looking ones. I have seen some for 2nd gen but cant recall who makes them.

    For 2Gen....
    1. Bushwackers flares which are wack. I dont like the dimpled rivet look
    2. Jungle flares. Fitment is pretty crappy due to limited mounting points. Better know a good body guy.
    3. McNeil +2 fenders. Replacing the whole fender with a 'glass one that has an integrated wider flare. I had a set of F/R that I didnt install because it wasnt wider than the JFs.

    I'm not saying the JFs are better than the +2McNeils. Just saying that the JFs were better for me and my direction.

    Nice, I considered the JF's but could not find them. I really dig those fiberworx but do not need a 6". Something with a +2-+4 would be perfect but that setup looks closer to a factory look.

    No. What this world needs most right now is more fake chrome fender flare rivets. Sorry guys, but nothing says Joe Dirt "HEY! That Thang got a HEMI IN IT?!" characters faster...than fake fender flare rivets.

    That, and a 30-something+ year old guy wearing his baseball cap backwards.

    Hey, I'm 30 something and sometimes I wear my baseball cap backwards! I don't got no hemi though so I don't take your statement personally, but I DO have a hemi killer. ;)

    Don't you just hate it when you buy a new cap and the directions are in Chinese?

    Yeah, I got a hemi killer too. Here's the side it likes to show them:

    I did something different.....

    I completely removed my fender flares (getting beat up)

    These can be installed on fender flares or even stock fender like mine

    They come in 2 different lengths I went with the stock length so I don't look to much like a Russian ice lake vehicle

    They are made by ez flares. They can take tire punches and go back to form

    Hm, I'm not totally sure, but I THINK I like this look.

    What rear bumper is that?
