that is a sweet cherokee. I don't really care for the grill though. I can't believe there is not a company making fenders like that.

it would have looked alot like that one. here is a pic of it.

The XJ was nice but I like the TJ's. Being able to take off the top and doors to wheel in the summer is nice.
I think I will probably go with TNT's fenders also but I will have a fender flare to keep stuff from flying everwhere.

i think i will be going to a 33x10 so the lack of much flare on the phantoms, I HOPE wont be much of an issue.

may not. just look where your hood is and that is basically where the fender will stop. I plan on going to 35's as soon as the 33's wear out. And I think we hijacked this thread as well/

How much would it cost to have someone fab me something like these up? It is beyond my fab skills and way beyond my welding skills

It is not that noone can do it.  I think that it is the fact of the cost to do it.  You wouldn't want to see what it would cost to build those for someone else.  Allot of it has to be fabbed on the vehicle and to make it worth doing it would be very expensive to make something that looked nice.

They look nice tho.
I cut sheetmetal for free.  It's fixing it that get's expensive.
