I am looking to find out if anyone out there has flaired the back of a broncoII, I did it on my ranger and was wondering if it would be similar on the bII but my only worry is the back windows if it would put stress on them at all. Any help would be great thanks

I've looked at it and tried it on my parts truck. the rear tubs are welded to the outer skin. So you'll have to pie cut the wheel tub and fabricate alot of floor material to bridge the gap.

I think it's just easier to get Fiberglass pieces, or bushwacker cut outs. That's what I plan to do.

They didn't brake if that's what your wanting to know. I didn't push it much past 1". The truck wasn't solid to start with so more was moving than what I wanted.

No prob. I was think the same thing you were about 5 months ago. I decided I was going to make some fiberglass ones instead. I have to tub the rear for clearance issues, so along with a trim it'll make fiberglass extension pieces.:icon_welder:
