Gettin' Some Stock TJ Flares, Questions...

[Sparky-Watts]

My cousin just replaced his faded flares on his TJ, and is giving me the old ones for free. What's involved in putting them on the YJ? Will I actually need to trim sheet metal with 31's and a 3.5" lift? Don't know when they're coming, but probably within the next couple of weeks. Do they bolt right on, or will I have to do some modification?

Great write-up at: http://www.4x4wire.com/jeep/tech/body/tj_flares_yj/

Plan on doing this mod myself in the not-to-distant future.

Replacing them cause they are faded? hell you lucked out 1 can of Krylon and ur looking like new belive you will have to drill some holes to bolt them on and some cutting but don't quote me on that. . you always get the good stuff

did mine last year and love them. don't think a single hole lined up on mine but I think it depends on how you line them up on the fender. i just clamped the flares top the body so could stand back and center them. Marked the edge i wanted to cut. After cutting i used a right angle drill with self taping screws to mount. i got clear signals off e-bay that were actually cheeper than the stock ones. good luck on the install
