That's pretty expensive. To get them shipped to where you live would be a big factor, I would think. Here are some options:https://www.carid.com/1984-jeep-cj-fenders/. For other options just look on the net.
Do not expect an easy bolt on job, from my experience anyway.

I've gotten stock fenders for ~$100 a piece at Willys Works. Most junk yards are probably similar. Torx is right the shipping would be the killer. If you can find decent stock fenders they will be better than almost everything you can get after market.

Another option - since you are only having issues with one, find a body shop that can beat that one back to shape...... I don't know how mangled it is, but by the time you add up cost of fenders, and shipping, and prep, and paint, you might be money ahead getting someone to fix that one. Good luck and keep us posted.

That doesn't look that bad. I don't see any rust behind the wheel so that fender looks pretty solid. Have a body shop give an estimate on repairing. You might be pleasantly surprised. We have a couple schools locally that teach auto body repair - they will sometimes take on work like this as a teaching tool - and don't charge anything.....

Oh, that's not bad. You probably could do most of it yourself. Remove the fender, put it on a flat surface and with a rubber hammer give it a few love taps. Most will pop right out. The finer details are the tricky part. Matching that warn red paint might be all but impossible though.
