I could get it done for $10,000

I could do it for half that!  Unless you wanted them powdercoated! LOL

I would think if someone were to make one or two sets they would have measuements to make them and could start makeing them for less. I don't have access to a bender or Plasma cutter or I would try. They wouldn't come out that nice but it'd be worth a try. If anyone wants an XJ to make a trial set for let me know

The rear corners pictured are sold, just can't remember by who.  Once you had those adding the tube work wouldnt' be that bad for someone with a bender and some knowledge of how to use it.

Here is what you're looking for.

I think they wait until they get enough orders to do a production run, so it may be a while before you can actually get them.
Slickrock gear used to make them, but they went out of business.

This is something I'd like to do someday, but it is so far down on the list, I don't know if I'll ever get there.

Wanting things like this is why a lot of us start collecting the tools to build them.  Especially with a couple buddies its a lot easier to pool everything to be well equipped.

Truth.  My projects would cost a lot less if I wasn't buying tools concurrently with parts.

I didn't look very hard but that is similar to what TJ guys pay.

With tube flares.

Comparatively speaking, I don't think the price is that out of line.
