Having bigger tires on an 89 YJ is a plus for me. Tires are nearly flush with flares now that the flares have been replaced with new ones. The team passed the inspection, so they were able to get the job done
It is still up to me to rebuild the jeep. At this point, I am not expected to have to make any cuts.
Due to the different angles of the holes, you will have to drill to install a few screws because they are not self-tapping. More holes than the stock holes.

We painted them flat black before mounting, and yes, we had to drill new holes for mounting. A flat black paint was used also to cover old holes and the underneath of the body. The steps did not get installed on my 95 Jeep YJ since they don't change anything and my 95 YJ looks better without them A functional term. I don't really intend to use this jeep for serious off-roading, so they are not the heaviest plastic. A road trip. No gaps are left behind when they mount. You can also get the 2006 Fender Flare Hardware Kit for the same price. It includes the plastic nuts as well as the shorter screws and black finished sheetmetal screws instead of the regular, bright steel screws. There are little chromed plastic caps and spacers that come with long metal phillips screws, but they are destined to pop off and reveal the screws underneath. In sum, it is a great upgrade to my old YJ at an affordable price, and the tires are now covered, so when I drive through a puddle, water doesn't splash directly onto my windshield.
You could spend your money on better a better product! *The fenders DO NOT MATCH factory holes as other reviewers have expressed. Before mounting them, it feels as though they are flimsy. Their solidity is apparent once they are mounted. The installation process The first issue is that the plug-and-play components are not included. In order to replace the existing holes, you'll need to drill new ones. There have been changes in screw sizes since the instructions were originally After using the recommended drill bit size, I found that the screws were prone to stripping. Make sure to check yours in case it is Under these fenders, the factory holes are visible. Installing the screws involves placing them into a small plastic cup once they are in place, little chrome caps are snapped on. Using plastic caps is not a good idea, as they will eventually wear out and become mismatched over time. Maybe you should consider getting anodized screws rather than using There are flares on the fenders that extend away from the tub, which allows the paint color to shine throughb under the A fender that looks like it belongs to the vehicle body is really pleasing to look at. My overall opinion of the product and the installation is positive I would have liked the fenders to fit the opening in the tub perfectly if they had been shaped to the Wrangler body. The injection molded components should be heavier and better suited to factory holes since they are heavier and form fitting. These would get a 5 star rating if that were the case.
The 95 YJ is fitted with this. They look great once installed, and they feel much more solid once bolted into place than they seemed coming out of the box. However, as follows No effort was made to align with the existing mounting holes. The flares have a large lip that conceals the screws under the flares and precisely matches the cutout in the fender. There are absolutely no holes that line up on this vehicle, except for the side-marker lights. After the side markers have been installed, the rest of the fit is quite good The outcome has been decided much in advance. As you can see, the flare doesn't entirely line up with the upper edge of the steel fender of the car, and a gap is visible. From 20ft away, probably no one will notice the gap, but I can see the gap from the driver's seat, which is frustrating. It was a painful experience to drill into fresh-cut wood Originally I had to paint the body panels to mount these items, but now it's done. To get the flares aligned neatly, you need to use some extra care since existing holes do not match up and you must figure out your own alignment. In this article, they provide very detailed instructions on why/how to trim the rear fenders if you have 33" or larger tires. Where does that come from? When a car is already equipped with 33" tires, and nothing rubs, why would we need to trim anything?
Also, if a car has 33" tires and nothing rubs, does the press-studded suspension still have trouble? Phillips screws have screw caps that hide the raw blades Chrome is the finish on the heads. The caps were provided, or the caps were The Jeep I have does not have any chrome, and I dislike chrome personally. As for the black caps, I will have to see how they respond.
There was no room for the flare. I found it strange that there were no EAG badges on them. I could not get the holes to fit my 95 YJ as it said they There seemed to be no way to fit the flares without cutting them. I couldn't figure out why the rears were so bad.
I really like them, and they're really.
excellent quality, however, the hardware included consists of simple sheet metal screws, it is highly recommended that they are replaced with stainless nuts and bolts, but for the money you won't find a better flare. A 33x12 piece of paper is covered with them. I keep my tires close to the fenders on my 93 YJ so officers do not ticket me for them sticking out past them.
I found the instructions easy to follow and clear. Though I would prefer the sheet metal screws to be even a quarter inch shorter, all worked well and my daughter's Jeep passed I appreciate your willingness to help.
