    I wonder, I just had these made for TJ, I wonder how different they would be for the 57'? Im more or less thinking out loud and looking for opinions......

    Edit: I guess I could add some specs, I had them made from 1/4 plate and then took em to a buddy with a CNC table to laser cut them for me. No too bad on cost wise about 75$ a side. I had in mind using thse diamond plate ones for the CJ, but Im thinking now of using these instead, only downfall will be I actually have to do the body owrk instead of hding it.....

    Please, design them for the ECJ! I have been wanting these ever since I saw them on the PoisonSpyder Jeeps, but they only make them for CJ7's and up. I would buy a pair (maybe without the large lettering though, no offense) :)

    Why not buy a set of PS CJ-7 sliders and cut them down? Just a thought.

    Hey now, I have to advertise the shop dont I, lol. I am in the process of making a set for the ECJ5, expect to see a prototype around the end of the month, also any clever wording ideas come to mind to put on it, like EarlyCJ5.com......

    I keep going back and forth on whether I want to put something like that on the 6...I had some on the 5 mostly to cover some body rot. I'm not sure I really *need* them for the wheeling I do - even riding with Worth in 615 at Tellico we never touched the rockers.

    And FWIW...just to my (admittedly picky) eye...I'd prefer that the angles on the ends matched (or even butted up to) the fender flares.

    I agree with Mike on this one, looks much cleaner if it all lines up. I have TJ flares mine so I could get you some measurements if you'd like.

    the problem with these is when I measured for the machine shop, the tj I measured from had the bushwacker flares. with them they fit perfect, with stock flares, its a no go....
