Fender flares are common with a number of vehicles, but they are also one of the greatest assets for an off-road vehicle. These accessories add an aggressive look to the vehicle, and also act as a protective gear by cushioning the vehicle body from any rock damage, in turn allowing you to run bigger wheels. The installation of Fender Flares does not have to be that difficult provided that you have the right tools needed for the process. It is very easy and would take only 10-15 minutes to get the work done that is per Fender. Read on and find out more on the proper installation of Fender Flares. • Unbolt the current fender flares from your Jeep by the use of a 3/8-inch ratchet and socket. These are held on by bolts mounted on the lower side of the fender. • Place the Flares against the body of your Jeep just to ensure it is a perfect fit. Ensure that the front edge is in line with the bumper and the lower edge in line with the lower side of the Fender Flare, so that you achieve you desired look. • Drill holes for the Flares on the vehicle body by use of a drill and drill bits if the vehicle doesn’t have any fender flares. • Install a foam tape on the lower side of the Fender Flare just with your hand. The tape is normally double-sided, so you will need to peel it off on one side and place it on the Flare, then peel off the other side just before installing it. • Remove the second layer on foam tape and place the Fender Flare on the body, ensure that the holes on the Flares are properly positioned with those on the body. • Bolt back the Fender Flare to the body by the use of a 3/8-inch ratchet and socket set, and factory hardware. The process is complete all you need to do now is repeat the same procedure for all the other corners.
