So a couple people have pm'd me asking how i did my flare relocation on my older model cherokee
you are gonna need some stuff:
Drill
Grinder (or jigsaw with a metal blade)
3/8ths hardware (nuts bolts washers)
spray paint
and a 2nd set of stock front flares.
Lets start with the front.
Remove your front flares (i had previously painted my jeep so i had a white line to kinda stay close to while cutting)
(you should also probably wear something more than a kermit tshirt and shorts)
ok next go ahead and drill some holes and paint your bare metal
now drill corresponding holes in your flares. My stock brackets were rusted to pieces so my flares got attached with 3/8ths bolts and washers
NOW for the rears. Just like everybody else cut many notches and beat them over with a hammer. (no pic sorry)
then mock your new front flares up on the rear, you will need to cut the bottom off the frontside and notch it to match the body line on the front (really easy with a grinder) and then the scary part... cutting the flares in half like bushwackers
Once you are satisfied with the positioning drill some holes in your doors
the rear portion of the flare is the hardest to attach, I used self tapping screws on that inside flap (predrill the holes its alot easier that way)
and you will end up with this
thats about it... 3 inches of lift with 32" tires and plenty of room to stuff them
