How To Make Fender Flares for a Jeep Cherokee - Dirtbound Offroad

- Hey Guys your friendly neighborhood Bleepinjeep Facebook Moderator Derrick made a video just for you. Let us know what you think. I picked these Dirt Bound DIY fender flares because I had plastic flares for a while and they broke super easy, so I figured these steel flares would do the trick by covering enough of my tire to keep me legal, and looking good while providing more tire clearance. www.dirtboundoffroad.com/diy-...

Hey I really like that video!! Great job Derek!
I've been looking forward to this for such a long time! I love these flares and can't wait to get a set!
I like your work-a-round for the compound curves. Nice way to make it simple and they look great too.
Perfect timing, was about to start putting mine together this weekend
dude that turned out awesome i like how you used sheet metal for the whole thing instead of pipe on the edge. im going to do the same thing!
Always welcome a new guy. Welcome and nice video.
Looks great! Good job
Dam mate they look so nice, great job
Thanks for the great video!
That’s a nice adjustable sledgehammer
great tips and a good video
I used to use two adjustable wrenches to straighten (re-bend?) stainless boat props (as no-warranty work!) when guys would come in with dinged gear, usually on a saturday when I couldn't get them new ones for the weekend. if it is stupid and it works....
Good (1st?) Video! I've been pondering those for my xj, and maybe even my ZJ... keep it up!
Steven Taylor I have them and they’re pretty rad you just gotta make sure they’re rolled with the body right
Hey cool DIY thanks for sharing
I didnt do flares just flat armor but install was great, everything fit perfectly
Good video man
Nice vid bro
Ficou top demais!!!!parabéns👏👏👏
Do they make a set for two door Cherokees? The space in the rear well is a little different.
Don’t forget to hammer in that pinch weld to the rear of the front inner fender area. If not you might get some custom siping to your tires.
Cool idea could use on other type 4x4
Are u able to make for 1998 dodge 2500 Cummins?????
Hey make sure to hit that pinch weld in the fender with a hammer so that you gain more clearance. Without doing this you might as well have not put on the higher clearance flares
Since my fenders are cut and rolled I might just do this in the front .
Nice work. I'd be willing to pay the extra $80 though for the already welded up ones. Lol
Perfect! I’m mod’n the fender flares on my XJ too! Mine aren’t as fancy as yours 😄❤️🐞
We didn't get a close look at that wrinkle finish. Did it require a heat gun to get the wrinkle?
Nope just the sun but I have had good luck with just bare metal I'll give you guys a good look when I do the rears
If I ever find a XJ, that's not rotted to hell, I'll see if i can do this with Stainless. New England is 365 salt. Everything rusts.
Dorsk84 thats why i have to get rid of my lifted pathfinder , new england sucks we salt roads for every little thing..
That's why you go south and buy one and bring it up. Then just take care of it when winter comes like I have
@@martingarland7286 Step 1: Have money. Step 2:....well no step 2, I'm broke.
Rust does suck.
I am almost done repairing my 1996 Michigan XJ. It took me 1 full year of work to repair all of the rotted out areas. The rust was very severe but now everything is stripped down and painted with por-15 and then coated with bedliner for extra protection. It is possible to fix these rusty vehicles just a ton of work. It was also a monetary issue for me as well, as I have 2nd Michigan XJ I bought a few years ago. That pretty much wiped out my funds for finding a "clean" southern Jeep.
Most of my Michigan rust issues came from wet carpet that greatly accelerated the rust to actual rot along most of the floor pan areas front and rear. There were also some areas of the frame that rotted out due to nesting material from rodents staying wet for years.
I still feel that not protecting a "clean" Southern Jeep with heavy rust protection makes no sense, sure you can bring a nice one up here but it will only be a few years before the same rotting process starts all over again.
You have to really go all out on protection in the rust belt. My 96 is a test bed to get these ideas working for my 2001 XJ restoration which is way more solid that the 1996 ever was.
@@sneakytails1724 My TJ needs a bit of TLC in a few spots. But I neither have the money, space, or skill to do it. There is a local shop that does exactly what you did but at $5k (includes all new parts and labor), is out of my price range.
Is this company still in business? I tried to reach out to them via email and havent got a response. I wanted to know how far the flare extends from the body.
Looking for something like that for my 95 XJ sport, but I don't want to cut my fenders or quarters...
Hey Dr. I’ve been trying to reach you I need more Pepper in my Diet
No inner fenders at all?
In due time my friend in have some ideas for inner fenders in the near future.
@@derrickdennis6383 Will love to se that solution comming due to living in Sweden we need it otherwise the fender will fill up with snow wintertime... ;-)
Hands clapping... Almost Custom fab, instead of bolt on.
Wish someone made aluminum xj flares to save weight, I'll stick with plastic over steel any day, otherwise great vid.
Garden Trim and some creativity ;)
Send us a email and we can work a price out for an aluminum set.
@@DirtBoundInc have you guys done any that extend all the way down to a 2x6 rocker? I think your set is the best looking but I want to tie it in to the rockers and bumpers too!
Should have used some primer first lol, then painted
Vht says the wrinkle reaction works best on bare metal, I did my hood vents with primer a while ago and the texture was not as good
@@derrickdennis6383 Yes but if the paint cracks, leaving a thinner barrier between bare metal and the air, it is more likely to rust and give you problems in the future. Just saying
Isnt VHT THE BEST?! i use their engine paint to paint everything i do it dries rock hard not like that gummy shit rust oleum.
Ya i look up these fender flare kit its 300 for the none diy kit just the front and the diy kit is 230 ya all there stuff is way over priced bad 👎 not saving anything really
We try to keep our pricing as low as possible, all our products are made at our Center City, MN facility. It is very costly to manufacture in the US, steel costs have been through the roof for over a year and we did not charge more when that happened. We have employees to pay, insurance, utilities, equipment, and other costs associated with operating a business.
When we priced the DIY versions we simply took the labor cost and overhead off of the welded price, but there is still all the steel costs, machine time to cut them, labor costs to clean and form them, packaging for shipment.
@@DirtBoundInc I have been looking into these for about two years now, and I hope that at some point I'll have the money and the time to finish my daily driver and off road build, and these need to be on it.
