YJ Flares on a CJ

For some time I had been envious of the larger looking flares on YJs. The CJ rear fender flares look good with stock size tires, but look alittle goofy with oversized tires. I decided to try on some YJ rear fender flares to see if they fit, and it turns out that they do.

YJ rear fender flares will bolt directly onto a CJ. While this "upgrade" won't give you any more clearance (the body of the jeep isn't trimmed at all), in my opinion it looks better.

Step 1

Here's what my stock rear fender flares look like, It appeared that the wheels were cramped inside the small round flares

Step 2

All you need to get the flares off (and on again) is a standard hex bit, I used a drill because it is a lot easier

Step 3

Just unscrew the bolts, and get the flare off, then use the old flare a a guide and drill matching holes in the new YJ flare

Step 5

Just screw the new flare on. Although the fenders aren't trimmed at all it looks like the wheel has a lot more space, and seems to have a more up to date appearance.

I believe that I gave them away, but it's been a couple of years.
