Install XR fender flares

[CWRUYOTE]

Looks great! How was your experience with this kind rivets? Did it attached firm for the extension?

Thank you! The extensions are definitely not going anywhere, but still removable with a trim tool.

Did you have to make the holes any bigger to accommodate them?

Yes, just a little over 1/4" to 9/32".

OP Thanks for the write up on this. Super easy install and did it over lunch today

the rivets you posted are beefier than the ones morpar included with the extensions they sent me. I’m glad I bought those same rivets.

Great write-up! Thanks so much. I followed your every direction. You made the process so easy (even though I took twice as long to do it; that’s just me).

Great detail in your post. If I missed it I apologize, but I heard these only fit Rubicon fenders and do not align properly with Sahara or Sport fenders. Can anyone here confirm if this if this is true or not?

Yes; there have been a number of people report this is correct (which is a shame).

That is true but you can install them. You just need to mod the rear flares somewhat by trimming approx. 1.0 - 1.25" off the leading end of the rear flares only. The fronts fit fine with no mods.

Wonder if this would help my Jeep past state inspection since my tires stick out about an inch past the fenders.

Or check out EZ Flares XL. Worked well on my Jeep. The color match to the fenders is perfect, and you trim to whatever length you want.

That's interesting. I thought the rear fenders were the same on all the models, only the Rubicon front was different. Thanks for the clarification.

Those look like they offer more coverage as well. Where did you get them or can you post a link? Thank you
