Fender Flares

[onlyinacomanche]

So, I've heard a few differing things about fender flares. Do the cherokee rear fender flares work on the comanche? I've heard a lot of no's but a couple people told me they work so have you guys used um or what? Thanks. -Will

XJ flares, both 2 door and 4 door, are too small to even try and make work on an MJ.

It is possible to graft in some sheet metal and get them on there, but then there is less room for tire clearance, and it's just plain ol' alot-a-work.

And an XJ flare put up on the MJ. Hard to take a picture, hold the flare, and show fitment, but this is lined up with the body line, and centered in the well, and you can see the dirt from the MJ flare.

There's a rib around where the MJ flare mounts that makes it so the XJ flare won't sit flush at all.

What [feerocknok] didn't mention but the last photo shows is that the XJ flare simply doesn't line up with the mounting flange on the MJ, so even if you wanted to use it and accept the poor fit -- you could not use the stock mounting plates, you would have to Mickey Mouse some way of putting them on.

Do YJ and TJ flares work?

Here's a thread that started a lil bit ago on that:

Most guys that run em are running them for more tire clearance in front, but you can use em in back too.

XJ front flares are the same as MJ front flares, BTW.

Do YJ and TJ flares work?

Define "work." You can screw them on and they'll satisfy legal requirements for tire cover, but they don't bolt onto the original mounting holes.
