Swapping fender flares
 

I'm about to swap my painted Sahara flares for the ones that came on x's and rubi's. I've looked and I don't find a post. How hard is it to take them off and reinstall the swaps?

Swapping Fender flares
 

I posted it on Modified because someone might have done it. There are people who don't even go to Stock. Please return my post. Come on Rubimon - crack a smile.

Muchas gracias " El moderatores".

Should be an easy job, just a few screws.

They don't look like screws to me.

Time is not on my side right now to do this mod. But I do have all the parts ready.

Got a 08 Sahara but don't like the paint to match fenders, so I picked up a set of Black Rubcion fenders from 'bondsman" and as soon as I get some free time, Bam it's getting done. :yup:

I'm going to swap mine hopefully at the end of the month - any info would be great. With all this swapping going on - I'm waiting to see a Rescue Green Rubicon with Detonator Yellow fendersl With 20" spinners. Damn - I crack myself up.

They're not hard at all, you'll need a 10mil for the five screws under each plastic frame in the front, needle nose pliers to take the clips out the holes for the fenders, and a small crosstip screw driver to pop out the plastic rivets.

For the front flares, use the small crosstip to push in the center of the small rivets connecting the fender to the splash shield in the wheel well. Once that pops in, you can pull them out. Then starting at the front and rear of the fender, pull up. That will pull them off the plastic clips.
To remove the splash shield, you will have to pull down on it to pop out the six plastic push pins.
Next, disconnect the fender light. Then unscrew the five screws holding the plastic fender frame to the body. At that point, use the needle nose pliers to pinch together the plastic pieces that hold the fender clips to the body and pull them out of the holes. You can see the front clips the easiest, the rest you can do from feel.
It would probably be easier to connect the splash shield to the fender with the plastic rivets while its off the jeep. What I did, was replace the rivets with a nut and bolt.
After that, reinstall the plastic frame, pop the new fender with the splash shield already attached on, and push in the pins for the splash shield. After you reconnect the light, it should be done.

The back fenders don't have the plastic frame or a light, just the fender and splash sheild, but those are the same at the front, repeat what you did for the front. It probably took me as long to type out how to do it as it does for me to actually do it.

Thanks - I'll read that again when I'm awake.

which fenders are you installing? bushwacker?
