Rugged Ridge 7-Inch Fender Flare Kit, 87-95 Jeep Wrangler (YJ) - Manual (Page 2)

STEP FIVE: Make a cardboard pattern.
This pattern will help you determine and
mark the area that needs to be trimmed
in order for the rear flares to fit.
This cardboard pattern provides an
outline of how the YJ rear wheel
opening needs to be modified. Just be
sure to properly mark the front and back
and the proper orientation (left and right)
before making any cuts.
Only the rear half of the YJ wheel
opening needs to be enlarged. Notice
the large amount of added clearance the
new flare will provide. Mark the area
and cut as required.
Some kits may include a pre- made
template that will make the process
quicker and easier. Simply install the
template, trace, and make the cut.
STEP SIX: Once the opening has been
modified locate the flare and mark the
required mounting holes. Drill the
mounting holes to the proper size and
install the rear flare. Repeat for the
opposite side.
The flares fits great, look good, and
provides much more room for the larger
tires. Although it is not necessary to
remove the tire it makes the job much
easier.
