New Challenge - Part #s for XR fender trim extensions

[toblerthedog]

As it stands, it looks like only about 1/2 of the existing rivets/holes line up properly, requiring additional holes to be drilled and riveted to install. I'm waiting to install these on a '22 392 (not sure if the factory flare rivets are in the same spot or not).

That's correct...you will need to drill ~4-new holes (for each trim piece) to completely secure. The remaining holes line up with your existing trim. This was a pretty easy 2-hr project. Here's a bunch of after pics...

Looks good, mine are still backordered. Dig the clear side markers.

Nice, looks great! Did you use mopar rivets or purchase them elsewhere?

Thanks for the update, looks good. Did you get the rivets from the dealer or aftermarket? What tool did you use to install them?

Thanks!

I purchased the following aftermarket items to complete the install...

Plastic Rivet Retainer (50-pack)
Tool Aid S&G 19400 Rivet Tool for Plastic Rivets

...no issues with either.

[Edit] Also, don't forget a good quality plastic fastener removal tool...

Lisle 35260

What size bit did you use to drill the holes?

What size bit did you use to drill the holes?

I kept it as small as possible to ensure a tight fit... went with 1/4" bit.

Sorry if its already been asked before but I am not having any luck finding the answer... I bought these fender extenders for my Jeep that is NOT a rubicon. I have JL sport altitude. I was told they could be modified to fit but I am not finding any modification instructions. Can anyone help? Please...

Not sure if anyone has posted any instructions. From the photos that have been posted, it appears the extensions are too long for the Sport and will have to be trimmed. Additional holes have to be drilled even on the Rubicon so I would expect to have to do that as well.

EDIT - @laurankoby - here is another thread with posts where they installed the flares on a Sahara, so hopefully some information there:
