Thanks for this, i always wanted to see these getting installed on an xj. Unfortunately Bushwacker is way out of my league pricewise. In my country these cost about $1000 which is insane for for it actually is. Quality wise nothing china-cheap gets it done so I made them myself in the end. The brackets of steel angle and the actual flares of thick conveyer belt, I got like 6ft for free in a local quarry. Ground it to shape with a flap disc. Painted the whole lot. It gets the job done well, plus the flares are soft enough to give in if need be...good for crawling thru the woods ;-) And even if you manage to rip some off, it only takes about 20 minutes to replace good as new. Thanks Tim for your input, always enjoy it, Martin

After the Hole in the Wall and Moab vids, this is a great upgrade for the XJ and much needed!

Like how Tim literally has the jeep I want, like to a T, these flares are the icing on the cake.

No guard on the angle grinder! I can tell ur a man who lives dangerously 😨👍

Glad I got to see you do this first! It's pretty scary cutting the body like this!

I like the way u installed the front. Would have been nice to include the rear install for one side too.

I'm not a fan of fender flares, but in your case with full width full size axles, it really makes it look a lot better and the axles don't give the appearance of sticking way out to the sides like before

I got these about a year back and the the first time the tire hit them they started to pull through the sheet metal. Look great at first and still look good but no longer line up flush to the panel. Also FYI I trimmed a thin sheet metal to fit into the door gap and it stops all dirt and water buildup!

You have to love rain to live here in Oregon! 👍on the XJ

I’m building a 98 jeep Cherokee xj with extra money when I have it, so far I have 1200$ worth of engine work, abut to start on the lift and tires, I must say this look is good.. definitely going to tack this onto my cosmetic budget

I want to put these on my zj so bad. This video is perfect for me to figure out if it will work.

3:21 always put sharpies in the center of burnout circles so you know where to find them.

Nice. I appreciate the time you spent doing this video. I was undecided about adding these but now I’m sure I will. Again thx

Nice job Tim.Those flares look sick....

Local guy did this to his XJ. He filled that gap with foam. Sealed, painted... Now I know why. I joked that he did it to help float in the mud.

Great job Tim! Flares look good!

think the bend strips are to maintain the structural sturdiness instead of just hollowing it out. /shrug whatever works

First!

Your XJ is stunning. I don't like what the new Cherokees have come to be

This xj is sick I'm hoping to build mine to be like this

Great how to! You should explain how you made your roof rack!

Had these on my XJ, great product!

very well spoken and great install . Keep up the great work.

A little tip I would go to a truck stop and pick up a PLASTIC mud flap and cut to fit instead of the OEM splash guard that's what I did on my ZJ and hold up a lot better if that get banged around

Currently building a 97 zj

At the end of the video I saw the Wagner Creek sign... Down around Ashland, right? One of the places my wife and I wanted to check out and see if there are any trails... Great videos! Keep up the good work!

Nice Job! Use the Diablo when doing stuff on the house with HardiPlank. Their other blades rock. Will have to look at the cut-off blade next. Maybe they are also less likely to explode and provide unwanted surgical needs like the fiber wheels are known to do.

You should have your own channel. Love the videos bud, keep them coming.

those look amazing Tim

Can you update with cutting off the spot welds instead of bending them over? I'm about to do the same thing but was wondering if I need to spot weld further back. This is an excellent DIY video! You guy's do a great job, thank you!

Those fenders look great. Should give you some extra wheel clearance 👌

Great video, just keep Matt away from those new fenders.

Dayum that IS a good lookin fender flare! I’m headed down to Yosemite next weekend, I can grab your splash guards for you on my way back up if you don’t have plans to go down soon.

looks good tim!

You should make a video for ppl who want these flares but have their rear wells cut and folded in.

Tim with Bushwacker flat fenders and Notch fender which one would you choose and why? I am personally leaning towards the Bushwacker because there a hundred dollars cheaper.

Thanks for the Video! I like the way you work. 2 Questions - First is how did cutting the full length of the fender work out for you? I have already done three XJs and always followed the directions on that part but I am really tempted to do it your way. Do you have any regrets? Second is how did you like the Diablo cutting wheel? I typically use the high end of Dewalt wheels because they run cooler and last longer than other wheels I have used. I'm tempted to try the Diablo wheels but would rather avoid Home Depot if they aren't going to do a better job. I can tell that you are very comfortable with the grinder and the disk worked fine but, do you like it better than a good abrasive disk? Thanks again for the great video and any answers you might give to my questions.

Why so many guys on youtube called bleepinJeep? Got to be the 4th I've found.

Love my napier flatties they look killer

Great video thanks. I just bought these. Did you have any issues cutting the rear panels with the seam line close or did you cut/fold instead on the rear?

I know you have completely different rules in the usa, but in small Denmark, fender flares must cover the tires if we have a changse to get approved in spection

Nice info fyi on dark colors you can use a silver marker or yellow paint any hardware store should have them we get the idea 💡easier for you and for us to see 👀 it just saying keep up the good videos

Sweet dude!

cutting those slit an d banging them in helps keep the strength of the body

Is it possible to remove these fender flares after installing them? I got some armor side pieces I had planned on putting on with these fender flares hoping they would work together..

They wanted you to bend that part because you removed a bolt , so when you bend it it will add some support for the bottom bolt of the new flares . Just keep an eye on it after going on the highway . If it starts flapping around or bending in/out weld or bolt a support piece behind it . Oh yeah I was wondering if you could do a quick little follow up on that diablo blade! I’m wondering if it can break and fly apart like the other normal cut of disks they sell

Xj be like Sorry didn't mean to flex on yall

Hey man I'm about ready to order me some of those flat Fender Bushwackers I'm going to put them on my ZJ anything you recommend do you think they will fit my buddy's got Bushwackers the round ones on his XJ and they look identical to the round kind of my other friends ZJ those flowers you put on your XJ look phenomenal bro I love it

Don't wait so long to make new videos.

Nice video man. I have a 95 xj with cut fenders and Wrangler fender flares but in the front all the water and mud goes directly into the door jamb. Did you have that problem too?? It's really wet here in Oregon...

Looks good.

I was thinking, on those weld spots you cut off; but, were instructed not to.... How about getting a bunch of 1/4" long #14 sheet metal screws and screw the unibody sheets together, to make up for the missing welds?

Hey Tim. You cut and bent my rock sliders at Rock & Road last year. Just wanted to know if you had to modify your sliders after the flare install. Came back from Moab a few weeks ago but still not a scratch on the sliders.

I just want to know how they hold up after some moderate banging around in the woods

I wonder if you could put these on a WJ. I like these better than the actual WJ bushwhacker flares.

amazing great job !

How do 35s fit under these flares at full flex and turn? How much lift and how much bumpstop are you running? I just bought these and they are on their way. Pumped to install them. Thanks for the video!

Tim - Where'd you get your replacement fender panels from? They look like they're decent fit and quality. Nice install.

Did you get smaller tires after crushing your fenders lol

Hey that's Wagner creek. Badass. My xj had cut and rolled fenders when I got it. Any ideas on flares I could use? I'm not a fab guy so I'm a little lost

You claim to be in Oregon. Yet we see it's raining. Suspicious.

I've been using a lenox diamond cut off wheel for a few months now. I really like it but doesn't it seem like its super loud compared to a normal abrasive disk?

Don't paint it looks really good as it sits

Are these really worth $500+? I've always like them but they seem far too expensive for what they are.

Lookin good. I may have to consider getting some junkyard fenders- mine are already too hacked up LOL.

bed liner all the jeep dude

You should contact monstaliner about doing a colored bedliner. We did a tj and it was sweet. We sprayed it.

Alright man I'll stop talk texting haha I have a hand held radio for my job at work I don't know if it is ticking words up in the background sorry about that again.... what part of Oregon were you in I live in Roseburg and I will keep you posted I already trim the fenders back 3 inches the first Beauty line of the fender for a a four and a half inch lift it's still rubbed with my 33

Nice vid dude! How many inch lift u got?

So what is the time frame for the install from start to finish? I have a 2000 WJ that I want to put the Bush Whacker "bulge" flares on and just want an estimate on the time it may take for the install.

Did Tim start his own KZfaq channel

Nice but where's the videos of you flexing to show how everything clears what tires you have . Ya it looks good but do they clear the tire, or do they still hit the tires. Need to trim for my 35's but their are no good videos on what hits fully flexed and what needs to be cut..

I just installed mine and I have a gap between my flat fenders and the metal in top .Did you have this problem to thanks.?

I was watching to see you do the rear.... reason why is wondering if these will still work if I've already done the cut and hammer on the rear quarters. Not the cut and fold. You know what I'm talking about

Picked up a 92 that has cut and rolled fenders.. any ideas for flares ? Only running 31's so not sure why he cut them.

love the jeep! did you put an aftermarket exhaust on it and if so what kind?

You think if I could these flares on my 3” lift, I could fit 33x12.5’s? Or would there still not be enough room? I know your sat shorter initially

Not to sure where to ask this but my 91 XJ has a bit of a problem. At 35mph its in 2 to 3nd gear and when it shifts into 3rd gear the rpms will go from 1600 ish down to 1000 and get stuck even when i press on the gas the rpms will not go up and the exhaust hums quite loud and the Jeep is very sluggish. Even when i hit 45mph the rpms are at 1000-1200. Any suggestions Jeep friends?? The transmission shifts great the engine runs good.

My kit didn’t come with the p1 and d1

Can these be added without cutting? I also have armor on the lower rear quarter panels, does anyone know if that will be a problem?

Wish I could put flat flares on my jeep but the previous owner cut the fenders too high

Is it possible to install these over fender armor already installed?

How come you didn't go with buldge style fenders for the jeep? That would have given you even better clearance and you would not have had to cut brand new fenders. I like the way they look and you did a nice job of installing them. But given the issues you had before, do you think you have enough clearance now........or rather do you have enough clearance since it's probably been at least a few weeks since you installed these.

What lift is that. I want to clear 35s on my 97

If I already cut and folded my front can I still use these? I'd only have to drill new mounting holes, right?

Hey babe nice work man I love your freaking G I got a 97 Jeep Grand Cherokee Laredo with a 5 & a half inch lift I really don't want to put the old style Bushwackers on there I want the flat fenders do you know where I can find them for the ZJ

What part number are the Bushwacker flat flares? I looked and come up with two different part numbers.

Should've really showed the rear cut and install. Different than the front...

Where in Oregon are you located? I’m In Sherwood.

Will this flare work with the cut and fold fenders.. I like this flare but I don’t know if it will work or not

Oh my gosh man I'm sorry I was voice texting and I work at a sawmill and meant to say bro sorry about that 😕

Get out there and win 10k on truck night America guys, show them what a xj can really do

My bad don't mind me

i was really liking these a lot, until i see the *$500* price tag !

Have you had any balance issues with the rock rings?

First you need rain

Wagner is right behind my house. No shit lol

And made in Oregon! Well I guess not anymore..

If I have a 6.5” lift and I have these fender flares will 35” tires fit?

What size tires?
