These Jeep Wrangler Bushwacker Pocket Style Fender Flares are for those of you that have
a '97 to '06 TJ and are looking to swap out the fender flares to get something that's
a little bit wider to provide more tire coverage and also a pocket style, rivet style flare
that's going to provide a different look to your Jeep as well.
This is a very simple one out of three wrench install.
Probably going to take you around two hours, maybe a little bit more depending on rust.
Now, Bushwacker makes a very high quality product.
They've been making fender flares for Jeeps for a long time and they've got it down to
a science.
They fit well, they look well, they hold up really well, but these are going to be more
expensive than some of the other versions on the market.
So if you're just looking for a pocket rivet style flare, you're a little bit more budget-minded
and you're okay getting something that might not hold up quite as well, there are other
options out there.
But if you are looking for the best of the best and you have the budget for it, I would
definitely recommend taking a look at this kit.
The biggest difference between these and a factory style set of flares is of course the
fact that this is a pocket rivet style flare.
The rivets that you see on this flare are functional.
They do actually hold the fender flare onto the side of the Jeep where again, the factory
style flares have hidden hardware, this is going to be right on the surface and visible.
This does come with the set of all six flares, including the mini flares that goes behind
the front tire on your TJ, and these are going to be made out of Bushwacker's Dura-Flex TPO-2000
material which is what they make all of their flares out of.
Again, UV protected, not going to fade in the sun, gonna hold up really, really well
over time on your Jeep.
These also do come with a weatherstripping piece that goes on the back side of the flare
between the painted edge of your Jeep and the plastic to help keep any chafing from
occurring, and it also gives this a really nice and finished-off look.
These flares are also going to be six inches wide, which is going to provide more coverage
than those factory flares will.
So if you have a little bit less back space and you have a wider wheel tire package, if
you're in an area that you need tire coverage to remain legal, these are going to do it
for you.
This is a very simple one out of three wrench install.
Probably going to take you around two hours, maybe a little bit more depending on rust.
Now your factory flares are held on to your Jeep using Nutserts for the most part.
There's some areas that you can get to the back of that Nutsert, other areas that you
cannot.
And if those Nutserts are rusted to your hardware because, of course, even the newest TJ is
getting a little bit older, you can have some trouble getting those bolts out.
So make sure you spray all that hardware with a good penetrating oil well before you get
started.
Fighting with the rust on that factory hardware is going to be the most difficult part about
this install.
Go ahead, remove all the bolts, get your factory flares out of the way.
On those front flares, go ahead and unbolt your turn signal housing.
You can go ahead and attach that into your new fender flare, getting it ready for the
installation.
Go ahead and put the weatherstripping on the new flares and then set them up to the Jeep
and start bolting them on.
You're going to use your rivet.
There's also a small spacer.
Don't worry, these come with all the hardware that you're going to need.
And just start at one end, working your way to the other, getting these bolted in place.
Bushwacker also includes a small tool to ensure that the weatherstripping doesn't get rolled
in on you, that it's sitting exactly how you want it before you final torque all of your
hardware down.
The rear is the same process, although you won't have the turn signal to take care of.
And as I said before, this also comes with a mini flare behind the front tire.
The whole process can be done with just some sockets and some wrenches.
Very simple process that you can do in your driveway.
These flares run around $500, which is going to be more expensive than a lot of the others
on the market.
Now this does include all six pieces versus some of the other ones that are just four,
but even so these are going to be more expensive.
Now with this from Bushwacker, you're gonna get a very high quality material, you're gonna
get something that fits very well and something that's not going to fade or crack in UV rays
when these are out in the elements, so I do think it's worth the additional money that
you are paying for these.
With some of the less expensive flares out there, you're also going to be getting a little
bit less quality and they might not hold up quite as well.
So if you're looking for a pocket rivet style flare that's also going to provide more tire
coverage, I definitely recommend taking a look at these Bushwacker flares for your '97
to '06 TJ, that you can find right here at extremeterrain.com.
