YJ Flares on a CJ

**TerryMason** · 11-12-2005, 11:15 PM

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.

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

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

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

Here's what the Jeep looks like without any flares

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.
