whoops! I don't know why I assumed you had Jeepster? I actually like the Bull Nose Commandos. I look thru my Jeepster (and Commando!) pics and see if I find anything.
Stay tuned... [img]images/graemlins/cool.gif[/img]

Has anyone tried XJ flares? They look like they might be made to work...Otherwise I have read about the JCWhitney buy-it-buy-the-foot-stuff..do a search for commando flares, I'd suggest

To be helpful I would suggest Dodge Pickup flares, to be nasty I'd say look at Scout or Bronco crap!!
Good thing I'm not that nasty! [img]images/graemlins/chair.gif[/img]

Unfortunately, his write-up page that discusses them appears to no longer be available. If I were to speculate though, I'd say they are the same as these:





Here's a listing for them: Bushwacker 10910-07 - Bushwacker Cut-Out Fender Flares for 76-86 Jeep® CJ-7 - Quadratec

Well, I stand corrected. Found this from Mike posted back in 2003:
