Installing Aluminum Fender Flares on our Jeep Wrangler JK

Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары

If you want to upgrade your Jeep Wrangler Fender Flares, Watch this video!
This week I finally get to install the Jeep Wrangler Fender Flares that i've been holding onto for almost 2 years! Its a long time coming but we get the Aluminum Fenders installed and they look fantastic! I went with the Aries Offroad Aluminum Fender Flares for the Jeep Wrangler because they cost much less than something from Poison Spyder or Crawler Concepts. These Fenders don't have the same inner framing that the Poison Spyder and Crawler Concepts Fender Flares come with so if I bash into a rock there is a chance I could damage the body. But I couldn't justify the extra expense, so here we are. I'm really excited to get this upgrade done, as you will see in the video, completely changes the look of our Jeep Wrangler Rubicon.
My good friends over at Agility Customs got these powder coated for me and the color looks fantastic! Agility Customs is one of many great shops in the Salt Lake area and I highly recommend checking them out if you're local and need any Offroad upgrades.

    Just curious...I installed plastic Bushwacker flat fenders last summer. Lately, I’ve been reading about how dirt and grit eventually work their way in between the fender and sheet metal and wear away the paint which leads to rust. Some folks have put down a barrier between the body and fender like clear 3M tape or a gasket type thing. I didn’t notice that there is anything between the Aries fenders and body - is there no rubbing / corrosion issue with these fenders?

  • @RedRockCrawlers

    @RedRockCrawlers

    5 жыл бұрын

    i think plastic fenders tend to vibrate and rub more than solid metal fenders. I'm not saying that won't happen with metal fenders. But if you noticed in the video i had to repaint a few spots because the plastic factory fenders tend to rub a few spots raw.
