Anyone install Jeep Xtreme Recon Fender Flare Extensions (JLRECONFLAREEXT)?

[donmontalvo]

They finally came in, took a couple months, but plenty of time to get them installed before Easter Jeep Safari 2022.

Anyone install these yet? They didn't come with any clips, so wanted to make sure I order the right ones.

If you installed them, mind if I ask what clips did you use? Got part number?

Thanks, ordered both from Amazon just now, should have the extensions installed by next weekend!

The rivets and tool came in. I'm guessing 1/8" and 1/4" drill bits are needed to drill out the existing rivets.

@donmontalvo I did an install thread with all info you may want. It’s not a hard job, and would be pretty forgiving if you make small mistakes.

Nice write-ups guys! I think I'll give it a shot this weekend.

Update for 2022 Jeep Wrangler JL Sahara 4xe.

Front ones Match as per "https://www.jlwranglerforums.com/forum/threads/install-xr-fender-flares.89824". However holes on rear flairs did not match any holes on the rear fender. So I had to make new holes to the fender. Also the fit was not great. Flair got a little bend. May be I could have done a better job at installing.

The rivets are much cheaper from Amazon. Link is in one of the write up threads.

Does this work with Sahara fenders? or does this only install over rubicon high fenders

 

[CWRUYOTE]

They're designed for Rubicon fenders.

Anyone installed these on Sport fenders? The fronts line up fine, looks like the rears are to big??

Yeah, I’ve been watching for the solution to this one… I’ve heard you can cut/heat gun them to conform, but that’s a risk. I’ve gone with EZ Flares XL and they work well ?‍
