Warn Trail Flares: Should they stay or should they go now?

Soo... i thought I would get used to them.... but they are just so different. Its nice that they cover the tires and keep the mud down, but i just dont know.

Keep them:





Take them off:

I had a set on mine a few years ago. Well I had them on for 2 days!
IMHO ditch them!

I dont like the wide fender flares. I like the wider tire look.

You don't get the big beefy wide look with flares.

 

[Shilohsho]

They will look great with RED doors!

i like the bushwackers better, but honestly my all time fav on a jeep are metal high lines. i say take em off, mud looks cool.

leave em mud in yer eye sucks. and as often as you drive it, it keeps the crap off. I like the way my 40 looks with chopped fenders and no flares but i miss the protection.

Get rid of them and get some hiline tube fenders w/ 4" flares, if you have to have flares. Don't be scared . . .

Stock flares, or Rubicon flares. Im not a fan of wider flares

looks like i'm going back to stock. it will be nice to look at my jeep and not cringe.

although I would still like to try some rubi flares, but at that point I'm thinking that whats the use in covering some if you dont cover it all..

OMG, that is so ugly. I say go back to stock or do some tube fenders. Mother nature gets it dirty, she can wash it too.

But then again, now that you've turned it into an SUV with the doors and hardtop, why run flares at all.

I am running the Hiline with 4" flares with 40x13.5 I love the look of the wide tire with the small flare...

 

[97TJGUZZY]

I'm not so much worried about the look of the smaller flares, i like it, but the coverage of the wider flares was really nice when the trail got sloppy.

Here is an example .... Brooks, how wet did you get coming down the mountain at the end of the Windrock trip? How much water/mud got inside the jeep?

i didnt get wet at all, and there was just some water on the back of my door opening.

I had a total disaster. The back tires coated the dash, inside of the windshield and the roll bar. The front tire coated six inches of the seat, the door frame, the seat belts and whoever was in the seat. It took me forever to clean it and it still isn't clean. Not fun at all.

my point exactly...
