Bestop Fender Flares offer 6 inches of tire coverage past the fender and provide a classic Jeep appearance
If you 'wheel your rig, you're going to get dirty. It's not that you'll be covered with mud from head to toe (although it is a common occurrence), but most likely, you will walk away with at least a few specks of mud on your clothing. We've even found that the hefty 37-inch meats on our project TJ tend to splash a good bit, even when on the pavement, making us no strangers to walking into work with a few remnants of road grime or splash from the gutter on our sleeves. For a long time, we simply dealt with this fact as a circumstance of owning and driving a 4x4 with big tires. After looking at the wimpy factory flares day after day, however, and realizing that the majority of road spray swept right over the 3 inches or so of flare coverage, we were fairly certain a remedy existed.
The Bestop flares are constructed from reinforced heavy-duty urethane that's impact-resistant and UV-stable. Flares are available for Jeep Wrangler TJs and YJs as well as all CJ models. | 
The factory fender flares had seen better days. Each flare was extremely oxidized and faded, and some were well scarred from heavy trail use. | 
We began the installation with the removal of the stock flare. Once the flare was removed, we prepared the surface beneath it for the new flare. |
The new flare was mocked in place to determine if any trimming would be necessary. | 
Both the front and rear flares required a bit of modification so that they'd provide a snug fit when mated beside the Tomken rocker guards. Here, we marked the areas to be trimmed before beginning to cut. | 
Once the flares were modified, we completed the installation using the supplied hardware. The new flares provide superb coverage from mud and water and offer a great look compared with the faded factory units. |
