Bushwacker Flat Fender Flare Install

- It's time to put some larger tires onto my Jeep, hopefully before winter hits! Because of limitations with how tall I can make my jeep, I have opted to fit the larger rubber by installing some Bushwacker Flat Fender Flares. These should provide plenty of space, keep my Jeep legal on the road and look good doing it!

Bushwhacker should send you a check for this video, great job and thank you!!
Thanks buddy, glad to help!
Gday mate, I appreciate you doing this for all of us.
Your training style is easy to follow with lots of key tips, like the black to white wires.., red tap prep etc saved me a bunch of time and I felt very confident after watching each bit.
Install went great and looks tops Cheers!
Man thats the best news! So happy to hear this information was useful to you. Thanks for watching and consider subscribing! Enjoy the new fenders
I followed along with your video today as I installed mine on my 17 Rubi Recon. Great video. Thank you.
Happy to hear! Enjoy the new flares and please subscribe if you can. Thanks!
I just got this kit yesterday, I thought I’d check TH-cam for an install video, I looked at 2 other videos, not as good, yours is the best video, easy to follow along, well done.
Thanks for making this video! I've replaced my front and rear fender flares with the Bushwhacker ones and your video was great showing the step by step, way better than the instructions that came with them.
Always happy to help! Enjoy the new flares 👍👍
just installed these this weekend and followed your video to a T, thanks so much for posting this. Made my install a lot easier. thanks again!
Glad to help! Bet they look awesome on your rig!
Excellent and easy to follow video install. Thanks for posting.
Thanks for watching!
I just did the driver side of my 2-door JK using your video as my instructions. Worked like a charm! My install has aftermarket inner fenders so it was actually a lot easier. I only had to make slight changes to get them installed but now I'm all set up.
Glad to hear that! How do you like them??
Greetings from NZ. Thank you for putting this video up! Very detailed. Excellent . I will now get these. I was going to trim my original fenders but these look superb!
Awesome, they will look wayyyyyy better than the floppy trim job! Enjoy em!
This is an excellent video! I plan on getting these soon and will bookmark this video.
Great to hear, they are awesome fenders and are still going strong on the jeep. Enjoy!
Greetings. I did buy some used Rough Country Fenders here in NZ. They were pretty rough and did have the speed clips on them and only 1 sample bolt. So I spent about a month gathering all of the pieces together to attach it all in one go. I found a product that restores the black fenders. Its called SEM Bumper coater. [manufactured in America] I used this after water blasting old dirt off! Perfect. I also could not get and found I didn't require the adhesive as the fenders sit right close to the body of the JK . However I did have major issues with the very front closest hole next to the headlight. I modified that part and used a speed clip instead of the plastic push clips. So Thanks again for your video. I totally use it as a fitting manual. There was one other thing. My JK is 2008 and not all holes in the rear fender lining were punched out for the plastic clip. But thanks again to your video here I sussed it out. Cheers and Regards!
Glad that i was able to help you solve that! Enjoy your new flares!
Great video! Saved me soooo much time on installing these this week! Thank you!
Very happy to hear that! Glad to have helped. Enjoy your new fenders 🤠
best video of this job I have seen, did mine 10 years ago, no issures at all, picked up a 2018 last week and plan of adding them to it seems they have upgraded there kit with the LED's and trim tool, Many Thanks
They've been holding up well!! Definitely a solid product
Thank you so much!! And thank you for the time explaining and video edit is really cool and really helpful especially locating. So thank you for marking them!
Happy to make the install easier for you! Enjoy the new fenders 👌
Great install video, liked the red highlights!
Thanks for watching! Glad you enjoyed it
Great video, very detailed !!
Great video. Thanks for the detail and the duct tape tip. Worked like a charm. These are very tedious to install but they look great IMO.
Thanks man, the duct tape is key to save your sanity. They are great flares and are worth the time to put in. Thanks for watching
Great guide! Got mine on the way!!!
Right on! Enjoy em!
Amazing video!
Thanks for watching!
Super good video! Thinking of getting these for my Rubicon also. Keep the vids coming. Subbed.
Thanks! They are holding up really well, I can definitely recommend them. Thanks for your support 🙌
Get some! Have the same Anvil color, following to see what works! Looks good.
Anvil might be the best Jeep colour ever... in my totally biased opinion. Thanks for watching!
Really good video !!!
Thanks for watching!
I'm installing mine tomorrow so fingers crossed mine goes ok as I've watched this video 4 times to help me out. lol
You got this!! Have fun with it
Thank you! It's a time saver.
You're welcome!
Great help
Excellent video!!!! But my LED's aren't working no matter which way I wire them. Any tips?
Hi James,
Excellent install video! Easily one of the best I've seen for any type install! So happens I have these flares in the box on my porch and my beautiful bride is asking when I will install. Quick question. Do you think it's possible to only drill out plastic rivets connecting the rear outer fender to the wheel well, thus leaving the wheel well (liner) installed for marking? I do not trust myself using the new install hardware temporarily. I may seek a different temporary fastener if needed.
Thank you,
Tony
Thanks Tony! Glad you find the video useful. I'd personally remove the liners!
did ou ever fnd a use for those copper reflectors ?
Hello and thank you first for the detailed video. Very cool. Can you please tell me if the bushwacker fenders are the same width as the stock fenders? In Switzerland we have the rule that the profile of the tire must not be further out than the fender. How wide are the front and back fenders at the widest point? Thank you and greetings from switzerland
Hey! They are very similar in coverage to stock. Here are some measurements frm the body to the edge of the fender. Front: 9" back: 5". Hope that helps!
There is a knock off kit they sell on amazon that a customer brought me to install, everything seams the same but the hardware wasn’t nearly as nice and some of the hardware didn’t work, and the rubber lip is different, but pretty much all the holes don’t line up where the speed clips are the hole are way off. Took me a lot of time to make it work.
Sounds like a nightmare! I'd stick to the original
Any reference on the size of the plastic retainer clips you used?
I bought mine used and haven't been able to find what size to use
Sorry it's been a while since the install and don't want to give you the wrong information. I'd reach out to the brand to find out
Seems like every time I buy something for my Jeep and look for videos, it turns out you copied me and bought the same thing, LOL. Great video, again!! Hardest part to me was putting the weather strip on the fender and the final alignment of those annoying little holes to the speed clips.
Haha I'll have to give you a heads up next time, or vice-versa! 😂
Yeah the speed clips were a challenge, but blocking the void behind them with duct tape (or anything else) keeps them from sliding back. Found that to help out a ton!
Thanks again for watching 👍
What program did you use to do the editing? Was pretty cool how you could add the red lines.
Adobe premiere and after effects, love those two applications 🙌
Awesome video...!!!
About how much time did you spend total?
Thanks man, about 6 hours is what it'll take. You can probably do it quicker if you move fast, I had a camera to work with as I went. Let me know if you have any questions, thanks for watching
Not sure you still monitor this but, how did you get fronts to leave enough space for hood latches? On mine, just installed but didn’t pull tape backing yet, the trim is pushed up onto hood latch. Doesn’t seem like it will lay flat. Yours seem to have more space. Another tip, I put red electrical tape over the speed nuts so I could see and center them with awl easier.
Smart idea with the red tape! My trim has enough space.. Wondering if your braces are on correctly? Maybe the sides were swapped?
Rubicon Unlimited I don’t think you could fit the braces if swapped. I did notice on your hood latch replacement video that the after market latches seem to just touch that trim. My latches are after market from Drake and I am planning on doing the JL latches.
Where do you get the fender support brackets?
Everything is in the kit
What saw did you use to cut the inner fenders? I also live in ontario, been looking for one of those 😁
Hey! I used a dremel tool with a cutoff wheel. Works perfect! 🇨🇦
@@RubiconUnlimited lovely, thankyou
No problem!
How are they holding up? Any fading or light stop working
Still working and looking perfect!
Thanks you for this very good vidéo 👍👍
But, please, could you tell me exactly the width of theses flat fender front and rear mesured at the central axis of the wheel ? Best regards.
You're very welcome! From the central axis the widths are 9" front and 5" rear
@@RubiconUnlimited Thanks you for theses informations 👍. Bye....
No problem
was wondering what size tires during your install and if you had a lift ?
Stock!
@@RubiconUnlimited my seconds set well be here tomarrow, I just like the looks and the extra clearance, Man Thanks
Really can't go wrong! Enjoy the install
more research for a new to me JK ,
@@RubiconUnlimited
The led lights look so dated. On the newer version. So disappointing
How have these held up?
Still going strong 👌
Rubicon Unlimited cool. I’m going with these. Just ordered them. Good to hear! Been driving myself crazy decided on a set a flatties haha
You'll love em! Hope my install video will be of help when you put them on 👍
Incredible video, thanks so much for your details/instructions.
Curious to know what your thoughts were on the day that you installed, because I myself am in Ontario and I'm wondering what the temperature needs to be or if it will impact the adhesive 🤔
Good question, and glad you kept that in mind. I'd wait for a nice day at 15 degrees or more, things always turn out better that way. Plus overall the install will be more enjoyable away from the cold haha
