SUBJECT: Installation Instructions, S3001 FJ Cruiser Front Flares
Before you begin this installation, you will need a few basic supplies. Only basic hand tools are required, and you
will need some protective tape such as blue painter’s tape. A molding removal tool may make some of this
installation a bit easier. You will also need some form of jigsaw to trim the side molding piece to fit around your
new flares. Also, be aware that you may damage your retainer clips during removal of these outer molding
pieces, so you may need replacements from your local dealership.
1. Your first step will be to remove the
factory flare and mud guard. This
figure shows you the attachment
points. You will notice that the front
most attachment point is behind the
front bumper cover. You can choose
to remove the front bumper to access
this, or you can choose to cut the flare
free just behind that attachment point.
This will depend on if you’re looking to
save your factory flares for re-use
later.
2. Your new flare will attach to the
vertical holes in the lip that are on the
underside of the fender. Make sure
these holes are clear of any plastic
clips that may have not come out
during removal.
3. Check your inner fender liner. It may be easier to remove this to install the flares, as you need to be able
to get washers and nuts to the top side of the mount holes. If you feel you can access those areas with
the inner liner installed, you can skip removal.
4. Now loosely bolt your steel flare into place using the supplied hardware. For now, one bolt on each end
and one in the middle should do. We are just mocking it into place and you will be removing it again, so it
is not necessary to put every bolt in place.
5. With the flare in place, use your protective tape to create an outline of the top edge of the flare on the
vehicles fender. This is going to be your reference line onto which you will install the supplied P-shaped
trim.
6. With the tape outline in place, remove the flare and locate your P-Trim. The trim will install to the fender
with the top of the P directly under the edge of your tape line. You may need to make some pie cuts in
the flat part of the P in order to help turn the corners as the flare turns down the side.
7. With the P-Trim in place, you can now bolt your flare into place. Start by bolting it in loosely and put
inward pressure on the flare as you tighten.
8. If you’ve removed your inner liner, you can replace it now.
9. The last step of this process is to replace the small piece of plastic side molding that removed with the
flare. To fit this, you will simply need to cut and trim until it fits back into place.
