How to Fabricate REAR Tube Steel Fender Flares / Jeep XJ
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 7 พ.ย. 2020
- I recently bought some Quarter Panel Armor for the Jeep XJ with the intention of fabricating some tube steel fenders onto them to match the front fenders I made in a previous video.
In this video I take you through the process of making the tube steel fenders from start to finish. Do note that I am not a fabrication specialist nor a professional, just a DIY enthusiast with a basic workshop and tools who enjoys making things.
Enjoy the video and thanks for watching.

McQ - been following you for years. I could watch and listen to you build a house out of popsicles sticks. I hope Megan and MaxMcQ are doing well. 👍
Thanks mate, appreciate that. The family are all well, we are just settling in for winter. Thanks again
Exactly. /\
I always enjoy seeing products that ive made get used!!!
Ah nice, thanks again for the armor. Its really well made! I painted the whole thing and mounted it and it looks fantastic
You make mod'ing a Jeep look pleasurable even for a Land Rover lover! Nice video mate, was a good watch.
Nice job Mike....
nicely done
Very nice job!
nice job enjoyed watching
Wow very nice
This is amazing!! I’ve wanted to build some tube fenders for my Jeep! This is a huge help! Great videos and sweet Jeep love that diesel wish they have them in the USA😭
Thanks. Great job.
Recently found this channel, enjoy the content, great to watch while working on my XJ in the garage. Currently 4 linking mine, I am going to use your Raptor Liner ideas when I finish it up.
Thanks for watching. Ah nice that sounds awesome. Would love to do some more to my suspension and loose thd short arms. Raptor is a good choice especially with the epoxy primer under it 👌
Awesome videos
I have the same bender that you have. My son came across an air over hydraulic jack that will replace the manual bottle jack. Hopefully it works. It’ll be sweet not having to pump the jack while trying to keep an eye on the work. You’ve done a hell of a job on this project!
That sounds like a much better upgrade. Its not a bad bender but it's the most basic I guess isn't it. I've found it okay for small thinner tube. Larger tube I've had no luck with even with sand and heat. Thanks for watching
Turned out absolutely amazing. Love your XJ. One of my favorite parts is the reinforcement of the back bumper and how you incorporated the bottom quarter panel protection. ❤️🐞
Thanks for watching Bug! They came out better than I thought they would. I just have to fix the door sagging so I can use them!
I've been wanting to do this to my 95 XJ (the flares) would be nice if they offered these in aluminum. I'm pricing out the materials to do mine in aluminum. But I'm not cutting the quarter panels of front fenders. I'll be making mine to bolt in the factory holes, using the nutserts. I'm enjoying following the evolution of your XJ. Keep up the good work. God bless, stay well.
Excellent..
Nice congratulations great job 👌
I'm inspired!
Your channel is awesome I bought some amour for my xj just this past summer and I have yet to find a video that goes in any detail on the best way to seal the plate for stopping any rust thanks for the videos.I sealed mine just around the plates along with the gas opening also I have yet to have it out in the rain do to this so i will be undoing each one and putting a bit a Rtv in between as i did the same for the bends in the side of the amour for the body lines of the jeep, I think from your video , that should do it because I have it seal up rather good and have did a great job of keeping it dry as it stays under a car cover.
Thanks for the comment and for watching! Sounds like you are making the right move. I think the biggest problem will be the armor trapping water around the bolt holes. The rtv should stop that. I haven't mounted mine yet as I have to fox the door hinge but I will seal it off hopefully. Thanks again
Loved the build. I think eventually I will get rid of the plastic bolt on bumpers and fabricate something like this. Keep up with your fantastic content.
Thanks for watching!
They are looking great. Shame about the doors but, well, it's the hobby that never ends :)
Man, they look awesome! If I tried to build that, I guarantee the lefty would be different to the right and neither would fit properly 😂
Had same issue with mine. The flare frame bending due to the heat.
I just cut a few relief notches on the under side. Then bent and held the flair into position then welded the relief cuts.
Great tip 👍 I will probably do that just so I can take them on and off without any messing around. Thanks for watching
New to the channel. I am a XJ owner here in the states, & I would love to go do some wheeling in Sweden, & use my XJ to fish, hunt, work on my bushcraft skills out of. There sure make a nice mobile base camp. Curious to see what a expat Brit thinks of them, & how your background shapes your usage.
When bending your pipe pack inside the pipe with sand you may have to cap the ends but you get the flat spots in the bends.
Sorry, you not get the flat spots in the bends.
Thanks for the tip. I have plenty of sand so no excuses next time!
Hi, Michael thanks for the adress!
👍👍👍👍👍
❤👍👍👍
Very nice job well done 👍 also the lef headlights on your xj where by chance did you get them?
Thanks for watching. I picked them up off of ebay for around 100 pounds. I can find the link for you. They seem to work well and they run fine in low temps -35c with no flickering of frosted over.
Hey man great videos can you go over that back piece of aluminum for the window and how you mounted it.
Sadly I never filmed the process as it was before I lived here. I guess I can pull on out and show it but its basically held in exactly the same way as the glass window. The rubber seal is holding it in.
@@WorkshoptoWilderness hey brother. If you have time in another video that would be great im just wondering how it holds the weight of the water jugs.
do you need to run mud flaps where you live? Ive always thought that that style metal fender would lend itself to some quick attach/detach mud flaps
I tend to run the front and back with some diy inner wheel liners. The gravel roads are pretty unforgiving so I have to protect everything.
can u come to British Columbia and build me some lol
those turned out very well, jeep door pins are a pain my driver door drops about a inch time to change it
I was thinking of making them and seeing if I could ship them out as I had a few people interested.
The door hing situation is not fun for sure 😕 not a good job
In the beginning of the video, tou mwntion that younordered the rear flares from the US for 150. Do you have that link?
Yeah its in the description.
Hey, is it good to have your leaf springs flat or should they have more of a bow to them?
I have shackle relocation brackets so it can tend to give the impression that the leaf is flatter when it just pushes the curve up in the other side.
Good job mate . Where did you get your replacement door pins ? I need to get some and I don't want to have to do them again in a year's time !
I uploaded a video on the hinge repair just last week if your interested. Thanks for watching.
If you live in Sweden, you can buy a cheep tool in Biltema for those rivnuts! :)
Thanks, I will take a look next time i'm there.
@@WorkshoptoWilderness I dont know if this suit your needs? It only up to M6 Size. 12-953
Hi id like to ask what rims you were runing here the steel rims want to do the same
They are Jack Wheeler 15x8 with 3.75" of backspacing.
Great work, but how much weight did you add on?
Front and back fenders equate to 24.4kg
I would like to do the same
hello.i won't Mike for my mercedes g class .please give me how to Mike this.thanks
I don't know how to make them for a G Class. This video is all the information I have on building them. I guess you can watch it and just try to build and fit them as you go.
Why don’t due for sale
Too much work with my workshop
Hi Mike.
Been watching your channel for a while. I’m originally from England. Moved to Alberta Canada 9yrs ago. Moved out here for the mountains and going out into the wilderness doing bushcraft shelters etc. (Inspired by Ray Mears and decided I needed to live in Canada)
I also have a 2001 Jeep Cherokee Been building it up slowly over the last 8yrs like you as time and money permits. If your interested I’d like to share with you some of the things I have done to it. Do you have an email address I can contact you on?
Cheers
Sounds like a similar story to me. Originally from England and moved to Sweden for the nature and freedom. I do miss doing the bushcraft courses but hopefully in time I can run them here. If and when corona allows.
You can email me at info@mcqbushcraft.co.uk
Would love to see some pics
@@WorkshoptoWilderness Thanks Mike.
Sent you an email with some pics.
Cheers
dude wtf you should have left the tubes...you fucked up, it was sick,
