Got a Jeep Wrangler YJ or TJ sitting in your garage begging for a fresh look? We all know the rugged appeal of a Wrangler deserves the best gear to match its adventurous spirit. That's where our steel fender flares come in, offering not just a cosmetic upgrade but real-world utility for off-road conquerors and everyday drivers alike.
Why Steel Fender Flares?
A Jeep Wrangler isn’t just a mode of transport; it’s a statement. When you're taking it through rough trails or bustling through crowded streets, it demands protection and durability. Steel fender flares promise both.
Here's why:
- Durability: Unlike plastic, steel can withstand impacts from rocks, branches, and debris. Ideal for off-road enthusiasts.
- Corrosion Resistance: Our fender flares come with a corrosion-resistant coating, ensuring they continue to look good as new even when faced with muddy trails and water crossings.
- Improved Fitment: Designed specifically for the 1987-2006 YJ and TJ models, the fit is perfect without any annoying gaps or misalignments.
- Enhanced Aesthetics: Sleek and aggressive look enhances your Jeep’s ruggedness.

Tools You'll Need
Before we get into the installation, gather up these essential tools:
- Socket Wrench Set
- Power Drill (for those stubborn bolts)
- Allen Wrench
- Flathead Screwdriver

Installation Steps
Time to get those hands dirty. Roll up your sleeves and follow these straightforward steps:
Prepare Your Work Area
- Park your Jeep on a level surface and ensure the engine is off.
- Keep all your tools within reach.
Remove the Old Flares
- Use the Socket Wrench to remove bolts and screws securing the existing flares.
- Gently pull each flare away from the body.
Clean and Inspect
- Wipe down the exposed area of your Jeep’s body using a towel.
- Inspect for rust and use the Rust Inhibitor Spray generously if needed.
Position and Mark the New Flares
- Hold the new steel flare up to the correct location.
- Use the existing holes as a guide, and mark any new points if required.
Drill New Holes (if necessary)
If your model needs new holes, align the flair and use a Power Drill to create them.
Attach the Flares
- Secure the flares using the Allen bolts provided with your fender flare kit.
- Ensure all bolts are tight and the flare is aligned perfectly for a neat finish.
Final Adjustments
- Give it a final check and test its sturdiness.
- Adjust any loose bolts using the Allen Wrench.
Post-Installation Tips
- Check Fitment: After hitting the road, double-check the bolt tightness after a week of driving.
- Maintenance: A regular wipe-down will keep them looking fresh. If you venture off-road often, a gentle power wash will do wonders.
- Consider an Upgrade: While you’re at it, consider upgrading your lighting setup or suspension for an even more solid off-road beast. Feel free to browse more of our gear at GENSSI.com.
