- FINALLY I got around to making this video!
Lots of people have been asking me which brand my fenders are and where I got them. Well here is how I MADE them!

I see that this video is 5 years old but also believe that over the last 5 years no one has generated a simpler, better design or process. Thank you very much for engineering this idea, publishing it, and providing step-by-step instructions. I am nearly done fabbing mine up now, and I am very happy with the strength and design of these flares for my '95 YJ. I swapped in a used ebay TJ grille and added CJ turn signals - combined with your flat fenders I have been able to construct my ideal Jeep.
Man I have watched A LOT of these Jeep mod videos and I hardly ever comment or subscribe. You definitely got a new subscriber out of me! This is crazy impressive!
ThOSE flairs looks GREAT 👍
Thank you very much! It was a lot of work to get them right. Nice to get good feedback.
I just wanted to add: These fenders look perfectly proportioned for his YJ. I made mine just one inch narrower because it appears that my wheel/tire combo is one inch narrower per corner than his. I spent a lot of time dissecting this video in order to duplicate the dimensions and angles (minus one inch inboard). The resulting dimensions and angles matched those of the plastic OEM TJ flares that I had been using until now. Those TJ flares had the forward most curve-under, ior the part that was referred to in the video as the "bubble" removed. So basically my sheet metal EMT fenders have the same angle as the TJ plastic flares after they had been cut up to resemble a flat fender themselves. My TJ flares were very inexpensive but not as finished appearing as these fenders, and they were very flimsy and left gaps for debris to get trapped and cause rust. The plastic flares were about 3" wide at the most. My newly fabbed fenders are 4.25" wide and surprisingly solid - yes, prbably can stand on them, might bend alittle, might not, but definitely will not separate from the vehicle.I am inexpereienced at welding thin sheet metal but I practiced first using my flux core MIG welder, then went to work on these fenders. By the time I was done tacking it all together I developed confidence in my thin sheet metal welding skills. I used 22 gauge which is very thin, but it was the best option at Menards at rthe time. On the plus side it is very easy to bend and shape, and when bent and welded is quite strong. Once again I have to share my appreciation of this video and the thoughtfulness of it. Between the narration and the video itself it is possible to get all the dimensions needed. Or, if you have a TJ flare, duplicate its angles and lengths of the straight, flat surfaces. I am in the process of making a video that will provide most of the dimensions that worked for me. I'll say right now that mine will be informational only, not entertaining and almost entirely non-verbal.
Don't remember seeing any better than them loving the slight taper look class
Love this video! I'm so doing this to my Jeep!
Nicely done.
Thank you!
Awesome job. I want to do that to my 91 yj
Good job 👍🏼
Excellent video, I instantly subbed your channel for this one video..! Thanks for sharing your process, I appreciate it..!
GOOD JOB
This looks awesome!!
Yay the look I want to go for but I hate the flares that are out there thank you for the video !
Of course! Hope this helps in anyway. Even if it inspires you to do something totally different.
Great video bro !
Thanks Ibby!
Looks great!
Nice job.
I've been thinking about this on a CJ for a long time, Thanks for sharing! Did you sand the areas where you welded so you didn't get the fumes from the galvanizing? That's really my only concern at this point.
Yup! Ground them all outside then when we welded we had the bay doors open and used masks.
@@LiftedWrangler Thanks for the info! Well done. I'm convinced.
This IS a lifted wrangler!
