I have a set of whackers on on my XJ and so far they have held up to everything Ive thrown at them. I am thinking of taking them off tho and goin with home built tube fenders since Erin was kind enough to do a bulk order for some of us earlier this year :)

Had to trim a set of xj ones to fit my zj.  For the money I dont think that I would do it again becasue 2 of them are cracked already.

You don't see too many ZJ's with Bushcracker...err Bushwacker flares around. Take a look into the Iceland Offroad cut-outs for the Grand Cherokee as another option.  That would be the route That I would take if I had a ZJ.

why not give your fenders a treatment like the EMF dodge 5500 got? Won't crack in the cold or the warm either.
