These fender flares are for those of you that have a 1997 to 2006 TJ that are looking for
an OEM style replacement that are gonna be a little bit less expensive than going directly
with Mopar or something that you could find from the dealership.
I really like these flares because they are very much an OEM replacement.
They're going to install very easily onto your Jeep, definitely one out of three wrenches
and I'm gonna show you how to get them installed in just a second.
So, if you have a TJ, even the newest TJ is getting older these days and the flares are
something that usually will fade or just generally start showing their age.
Whether that's why you're looking to replace them or maybe you went off-road, you cracked
a flare, whatever the case may be, this is going to be an almost exact replica of an
OEM flare.
Very high quality, good fit.
They look great on the Jeep and they are gonna be less expensive than some of the other choices
out there.
So, I think they're a really nice choice for a lot of you.
These are going to include the hardware as well, which is something that not every other
kit includes, and it's not just going to be OEM hardware, but they're going to give you
some nutserts in case you needed to replace some of them.
They're also going to give you some of those Christmas tree push pins that you will be
able to use to get everything held together, really everything that you would need to get
these new flares installed on your Jeep if your factory hardware isn't any good anymore.
Now, as you're gonna see when we get to the installation, our factory hardware was in
good shape so we ended up reusing all of that stuff and if yours is in good shape, you can
certainly reuse it as well.
But it's really nice that this kit does come with all new hardware just in case you need
it.
This is also going to be a six-piece kit, so you're going to get the main front and
rear flares for both sides, but you're also gonna get this mini flare here as well, which,
again, not every kit on the market does include.
So, overall, very complete kit, very high-quality kit, all at a very, very fair price.
This comes in at right around that $145 mark, which I think is a steal for a kit that includes
all six pieces and all the hardware and something that looks this good.
This Jeep almost looks brand new with this new set of flares on it.
So, I mentioned before I'm gonna show you how to get these installed.
Let's do it.
Our factory flares were held on with aftermarket hardware that were all 8-millimeter bolts.
So, for our installation, we used an 8-millimeter socket on a 3/8 impact.
We also needed a 10-millimeter socket to remove the turn signal and a couple of adapters because
that was a smaller quarter-inch drive socket.
So the first step in this installation is gonna be, of course, removing the factory
fender flares from the Jeep and the first step in doing that is removing the socket
from this turn signal.
And I do that first so I don't forget about it later otherwise you get to the last bolt
on the flare, go to pull it off the Jeep and you can pull that wire a little bit taut.
So, just give that socket a quarter turn here.
It'll release out of the housing, you can see that here and we'll just tuck that away
in the corner, again, just so we don't damage any of the wiring or the bulb.
Now we're free to remove all of the bolts that are holding the fender flare into place.
So, the way these flares are held on is by bolting through the flare into a nutsert that's
in the body of the Jeep, and this is going to be the most difficult part of the uninstallation
and installation for some of you that have older TJs.
And let's face it, even the newest TJ is a little bit older these days.
If you have some rust on your Jeep and that bolt is rusted into the nutsert, when you
turn the bolt, it can spin the whole nutsert and make things very difficult to get them
apart.
You may end up having to cut off some of the bolt heads, drill out some of the nutserts,
reinstall new nutserts.
That's all stuff that is a possibility for you depending on how your Jeep is, how much
rust it has on it, and how easily things come apart for you.
What I will say is go ahead and spray everything with a good penetrating oil well before you
get started.
Maybe spray it a couple of times.
If you can get to the backside of some of these, spray that.
Some of them are captured, but some you can get to the backside of.
Spray everything good, that will make it as easy as possible for you, but do know that
if you have some rust, you may end up having to cut and drill out some nutserts.
All of that being said, we've recently replaced everything on this Jeep, so that should be
nice and easy for us.
We're going to be using a pneumatic impact here, a pneumatic socket driver.
That's just because it's nice and small.
It can get up in these tight places and we're gonna buzz all of these bolts out to get the
fender flare off the Jeep.
Once the last bolt is removed, you can simply pull the flare off the Jeep.
So the next thing to do is to pop the turn signal marker light out of the corner of the
fender flare here so we can install it in the new flares.
And in order to do that, there is one small nut, it's actually more of a clip than it
is a nut on the backside here that we have to remove.
So, we have a 10-millimeter socket here.
Just go ahead and spin that off.
Now that that's removed, we can pop the turn signal out of the flare.
Now we can pop the turn signal into the new flare and that's very easy.
It goes in the same way that it came out of your factory flare.
Pops right into place, and then we'll put the small nuts or clip back in place to hold
everything firm.
Now we can put the flare back on the Jeep.
So, to get this new flare lined up on the Jeep, you have two indexing pins here that
go into the holes on the body.
Simply set it in place, and then you can start putting the bolts back in.
So, the last thing you need to do to get this flare buttoned up is to reconnect the light
socket into the light housing here.
And you'll do that in the reverse way that you got it removed, which is just a quarter
turn clockwise.
Let's get it seated in there.
Give it a little bit of a turn.
And there you go.
Then you can move onto the next flare.
So, the next flare we're gonna put on is this mini flare here that goes right behind the
flare we just installed.
Now, our Jeep, obviously, didn't have one on there anymore.
It did from the factory, but over the years, it's been removed.
Some people prefer the look without it, or maybe if you have a rocker guard, it might
cover this area, whatever the reason is.
This is a six-piece kit, so we're going to install all six pieces that come with it and
we're gonna bolt this one right into place here with some of the same hardware that we
used to bolt this flare up, the same factory hardware that we're reusing.
Now, the holes in this piece are slotted, so if you didn't have the front flare on yet,
you could start your hardware here, put this piece in, and then slide it into place and
tighten everything down.
For us, it's going to be just as easy to take the bolts and thread them right through the
flare, right into the body like we did on this front flare.
So, that's what we'll do now.
The process for installing our last flare on this side is very much the same as the
front flare, except you don't have the turn signal to contend with.
All we're going to do is remove all of the factory hardware and bolt the new flare on
using the same pieces.
Once the last bolt is removed, you can just pull the flare off the Jeep.
Now, we can get the rear flare put back on the Jeep here and get everything bolted up.
Put a couple of bolts up top here just to hold it and then we'll work our way from the
front to the back.
Once you finish tightening down all the bolts on the backside here, you can just repeat
the exact same process on the other side and you're done the installation.
So, if you are looking for a very fairly-priced set of OEM-style flares for your TJ, I would
recommend this option, and you can find them right here at extremeterrain.com.
