just bought a set of these to replace my old bushwhackers.. went to the hardware store bought a nutsert tool and a whole bag of nutserts , flat washers and spring washers.. life is great when things are this easy.
I couldn't figure out those nut-serts, I tried one and it just kept spinning. Had been looking online and found some new tool I'd have to buy for this one-time use. I'm so glad you made this video and I stumbled upon it. Super simple but yet so effective!! Thanks a bunch!
Good video. Did you end up using nut-serts for all of the holes? I don’t see any reason to go back with the fasteners that require you to hold the back of it.
Question, while the flares are off, can you drive or do the inner fenders flop around? I ask as I will need to do this over a few days while fixing rust before putting the new ones on.
It's been a while now but as I recall the inner fenders werent attached using any of the hardware holding on the fender flares. It seemed as though it was made to function without any flares at all.
@@spaceragThank you very much for the quick reply, it is appreciated. I have been wanting to get the body work going as the frame and everything else is rock solid, but running around and being the center of aa 7 yer olds world makes the task scary. Gotta be there for the kids daily routines, lol. Again, thank you!
Did this on mine and have slight gaps in some places between the body and the flare. A little concerned about crap getting stuck in there in winter. Has that been an issue for you? I'm thinking about running some silicone in the gap.
Mine hasn't got a straight line left on it so I likely have a lot of little gaps. I never had any issues with slop or ice getting in and causing issues. It would be a real mess to have to get silicone off there after. I'd let it buck. These things are full of all kinds of nooks and crannies for ice and dirt to get stuck. What's a few more?
@@spacerag thanks for the reply. You are right! Mine is an 04 and only 60K miles and I’m probably too neurotic about it 😀 I have to remind myself it’s just a Jeep!
