any install tips out there for securing rear TJ flares?

[mr_manny]

recently moved my rear axle back 4" from rear Drakar fj60 springs...thanks Cruiser-Outfitters

previously installed bushwhacker flares aren't going to cut it

thanks,
manny

I trim the inner lip off, and use 6mm or .250” hardware and a flat washer of an OD around 1” on the flare side.


I pick a few spots where I want holes in the flare and drill them.

If the Bushwhackers aren't too beat up, I might be interested in them....

I have the old set from mine, and was thinking to get a second set, cut them , and splice them together to make 2 longer ones.. I cut my opening too big to use TJ flares..

Not until you get them back from me! I'm all done with them. I just put masking tape on the sheet metal then drew the inner and outer lines. I templated the stock shape and then cut back so the TJ flares would fit later on when I source my own.

thanks Alan.

finished the flares today, no more rubbing...I like

10qty 1/4" bolts per side, w/large fender washers.

Took care of my rear bump-stops today as well.

your turn Alan

Are those fender flares faded? Other than that I think they look good.

 

[mr_manny]

yup, used flares.
scored both front and rear from a TJ owner for $45 shipped
