Revision J 6-5-06

Step 1:

Prior to Installation:

A) Fit: Verify the fit of the flares to vehicle. (Some filing, sanding, or

cutting may be necessary to ensure proper fit).

B) Painting: ( Optional) if paint is desired it must be done prior to

installing flares on the vehicle clean outer surface with a good

grade degreaser. DO NOT USE LACQUER THINNER OR ENAMEL

REDUCER AS A DEGREASER. Wipe outer surface thoroughly with a

tack rag prior to paint.

Paint flares using a high quality enamel, or polyurethane automotive

paint. (Application of a primer coat is optional)

If painting edge trim (not recommended), use a flex additive.

C) Performance : Using larger Tires may increase the area required to

turn the vehicle. Some Tire/Rim combinations may require lowering

bump stops and or installing steering stops to prevent tire from

contacting flare.

D) Exhaust System: Modifications may be necessary to maintain a

minimum 4” clearance between flares and exhaust pipes.

(Exhaust gases should not vent directly onto flares)

E) Metal Protection: All exposed fasteners and bare metal should be

treated with red oxide primer BEFORE installing flares. Spray inner

fender wells with undercoating AFTER flare attachments have been

completed.

A) Remove factory flares, fender trim, mud flaps and mud

flap brackets (when installed).

Step 4: Front Fender Cutting and Installation (See Photos #1 through #29)

Remove the front factory flare starting with the

lower rear factory fastener, using a 7mm socket.

Using a 10mm socket, remove the factory

fastener located inside the top front of the fender

well.

Using a 10mm socket, remove two factory

fasteners underneath bumper on either side.

Remove fascia piece.

Apply adhesive remover to the Cherokee emblem

for ease of removal. Using a putty knife, carefully

remove the Cherokee emblem, taking caution not to

scratch the paint.

Using a grease pencil, make a horizontal line

horizontally from the bottom of the headlight

bezel to the inside of the fender well opening.

Starting at the bottom of the headlight bezel,

measure in 5” and mark a line on the fender.

Trace a line from the mark made in Step 6 up

along the contour to the third factory hole

(counting from bottom front). From there, angle

the line toward the edge of the fender.

Starting at the edge of the door seam, measure

in (towards fender well opening) 5-1/4” and

make a mark.

Trace a line from the mark made in Step 8 up

along the contour to the third factory hole

(counting from bottom rear). From there, angle

the line toward the edge of the fender.

Starting at bottom rear of fender, cut along lines

using a reciprocating saw or grinder. Note: it is

helpful to use a block of wood to separate the

fender from the splash guard, which will be

trimmed later.

Cut along the horizontal line made in Step 9.

Cut along the line made at the front of the fender,

starting at the top. Note: Use a block of wood to

separate the fender from the splash shield and to

protect the bumper.

Cut along the horizontal line made in Step 7.

Carefully cut along the line parallel to the bottom

of the headlight bezel, taking care not to cut the

bezel or the bumper.

CUT

Carefully cut lower sheet metal strut attached to

fender.

At the rear of the front fender, using the cut sheet

metal edge as a guide, mark the inner sheet

metal structure to match.

Using a reciprocating saw, cut away the inner

sheet metal as marked in Step 16.

Grind the sheet metal back so that it is in line

with the cut fender.

Grommet

Trim the plastic splash guard to match the

contours of the sheet metal.

At the front of the splash shield, draw a line from

the area cut in Step 19 down to the plastic

grommet, taking care not to cut through the

grommet. Trim on this line.

Fold the remaining flap under the bumper.

The fender should look like this. Some additional

grinding may be needed. Optional: use caulking

to seal all cut edges and seams.

Hold the Front Flare in place on the fender,

pressing firmly. Using the holes in the part as a

guide, mark hole locations on fender (9 places).

Drill marks with a 5/32” bit.
