I'm thinking of having someone fabricate some wicked tube fenders for me (Suggestions on who this should be are welcome) --- but I don't want to take away the ability to drive my Jeep on the street....What should I make sure the fenders have in order to remain street legal?
Also if someone knows who might be willing to whip some up let me know? I'm willing to pay cash but I want to start putting together my build list for the YJ and would like to know what to expect cost wise.
Just make sure the tires are covered.

edit: never mind, found the answer.
By covering the tires you mean the top and rear right....the front doesn't need covered right
Just the top. Make sure the tread is covered

Alright....Do you think I will be better with someone fabing them for me or should I buy a set? What am I looking for here...Strength and what?
honestly, they are all about the same strength wise, the tube is where the strength is, not the steel covering the tires...buying a set is expensive, you could buy an ebay kit for about 250 shipped to your door

Another thing you might want to add is a side marker light/turn signal.

I don't have any side markers on mine and I have never had problem getting it inspected. And YJ's have turn signals in the grill.

Ed I have tubes on my cj with garden edging (pathetic looking) for flares. I have been pulled over by the state boys in butler and the only comment regarding my fenders was "is that garden edging?"

Like TJBlair said make sure the tire tread is covered and since your YJ has the turn signals in the front you should be good. If you want to go the extra mile you can install a small led for a side marker light. As for function it's up to you and what you want. I have metal cloak tube fenders and I love that fact that they are easily removeable for trail use. Has came in handy for some of the tight trails I like to run.
Well thats good to know...don't think I'll be doing the garden edging but its good to know the Butler boys aren't sticklers.....What type of tube should I be looking for in the kit - dont want to buy something and then find they are crap...
By DIY self ebay kit what am I going to have to do myself....because I can't weld at all

Like i said Id rather have quality and know the builder than pay alot only to find out they are crap...it would be worth the wait plus it gives me time to put together the money
I run tube fenders on my YJ ans so far have only been pulled over once in Castle Shannon by the DOT Enforcement Officer. He let me off, but told me if i want to drive it on the street then i need to cover the tires (I already knew this). I have no flares in the front and damn near all of the front tire is uncovered. Factory flare in the rear in which over half of the rear is uncovered. I still wont put flares on it cause i don't drive it enough and hate the look of flared tube fenders.
Here is the only pic I have of the front fenders that kinda shows how much the tires stick out. The fenders are from Sniper Fab with no flare. They use the factory inner fender too, which is very important if your gonna drive it regularly on the street, especially in the winter.
