FIRST EVER JEEP WK FENDER FLARES

Check out an overview and installation of the first ever production set of Jeep Grand Cherokee WK (2005-2010) fender flares! This platform was long neglected as they never came with flares from the factory making it harder for manufacturers to design a flare. Fjallasport has finally conquered the task making a flare that can stuff 35" tires by being able to cut your OEM fender away and adding about 2" of coverage.

Nice videos dude 😎 I'm so glad to see the icelandic flares going to the state, it's been eating me inside every time I watch jeep or truck guys just sticking those tiers out like muffintops🤮 I'm just about to upgrade wify's 5.7 jeep to some 38"-39" tiers for the glacier and "shitty" whether. I was planning on just cutting the front fenders until the tiers will fit then fit some nice wide flares from fjallasport og formverk and in the back the same or maybe move the axel couple of inches back then the car will stay mostly stock and low cravity for driving ability. but any ways keep the videos going 👍

[@_Damballa]

Hey man what bumpers do you have on there?

[@jaisonslayer1494]

I’ve got a 2005 wk Jeep Grand Cherokee and I’ve got some rust so I’ve been spraying it with wd40 penetration so it will strip the rust off so I can get my 3 inch lift on

[@MyJeepStory]

Sounds like a great plan! The earlier you can get penetrating oil on the exposed threads of bolts you’re trying to remove, the better!

[@lillennex2118]

Where did you get the NACA hood from?

[@RickHavok]

Wow! You got a hold of these guys! I was trying to but never got an answer. I even forgot where I posted about it now. I saw them on a silver WK over there. I think I had planned on asking the guys from Arctic Trucks if they knew who made them, but probably forgot to do that. It's probably pronounced (Fee-yalasport), like "fjord" (Fee-yord). Found the Italian ones too, but they were way too pricey and never followed through to production like you said. Didn't even know a Mopar set existed but they would be interesting to see. I was about to work, or roll, mine, but that was on the old WK and the front of the rear fender is integrated into the door anyway. I'm not sure I'm ready to start cutting and massaging the new one yet either, it's in too nice a condition.

[@MyJeepStory]

Oops, I definitely got the pronunciation wrong then! Well, it's better to know now than never. As for the Mopar set, I definitely look into checking them out. I think they look really clean and I tried to get a set, bu they only came as a standard option on SRT8 WKs in Europe. It was tricky contacting dealers and even finding the correct part numbers. You're also dealing with a genuine Mopar part so of course they're very expensive as well. I cut my fenders previously to emulate the Nitro Gear and Axle SEMA WK. The actual SEMA WK had a thin tube welded to the edge of the fender and then rolled quite a bit. Overall I prefer the flares, they inspire confidence being so beefy and sturdy along with the ability to stuff larger tires makes them a game changer. Check out my Facebook page too if you're interested in a set. I am working with the company to get a group buy going! Facebook.com/MyJeepWKStory

[@tjduskey2889]

Those flares look very sturdy. Is there any give when banging them against trees and rocks? Your WK looks sweet excellent build.

[@MyJeepStory]

Thank you so much for your support! The flares are VERY sturdy and it's some of the thickest fiberglasses I have ever held. You can tell when you pick them up and feel how heavy they are. I haven't wheeled in any tight situations that have had me against a tree, but I believe they're a bit more structural integrity than your standard Bushwacker style plastic flares. Thanks for watching and I'll have more content out soon!

[@edsonkidwell9813]

These are awesome looking do the make them for the other cherokee models

[@MyJeepStory]

I believe they currently make flares for WK1 and WK2 Grand Cherokees! Thank you for watching and taking the time to comment in!

[@austinduling2667]

Ive seen these! Would love some but not quite in the jeep budget yet! The company fjallasport is pronounced kinda like "fhalla" the J's over there sounds similar to h's haha. Great video!

[@MyJeepStory]

I got the pronunciation a little late. 😭 But these are definitely great flares and maybe something to look into when trying to fit some larger tires. Thanks for watching and taking the time to comment! 🙌

[@Koffinfikill]

Hey, Icelander here. I know this comment is 4 years old now but I wanted to correct you on the pronunciation :-) The J is more like the first millisecond of the word ya and not h, and I wanted to add that the double L in Icelandic kinda sounds like if you try to say the T and L sounds together like TL or beginning of T and end of L, so it would be FyaTLa sport and also all A's are pronounced like when you open wide and do AAAA xD...hope this helps.

Great looking WK! How do you like your light bar? Does it add much wind noise on the highway?

[@MyJeepStory]

Thank you so much! And thanks for watching as well. The light bar is okay, I don't use it much due to the glare which is the biggest flaw in my opinion. Otherwise, I actually have minimal noise at any speed!

[@cruisecho]

Where do you see the glare?

[@MyJeepStory]

Glare is from the hood and reflects in the cabin. It's strange, but imagine it like a car passing you with their high beams on, just not as intense. It's a little annoying, but I just painted my Jeep with Raptor Liner (video to come) and I'm hoping that cuts down on the glare.

[@haroldcallahan4887]

A 2011 is available in an Overland -exactly what I want - I am debating whether I want to stay with my WK or go to the newer version with low miles- My WK has alot of miles and rust but otherwise runs great - I cant decide

[@MyJeepStory]

Well, you can't deny how nice new WK2s look and how nice the amenities are that they come with. That being said, I have heard NUMEROUS complaints regarding the Overland editions air suspension having issues left and right. Best bet would be to go on some Facebook groups and ask for advice from people who have a 2011 Overland and see what they say. I know some of them actually upgraded from a WK1 as well, so they'd be a great help. Check this group out:facebook.com/groups/JeepGrandCherokee.WK.WH.WK2/?ref=bookmarks

exactly - it's just too much money - why aren't these more readily available ?

[@ryanwesthoven7494]

Totally agree

[@BassTurntUp]

technically speaking, not the first. Sarona has a fender flare kit (made for the srt, but works on the WK1) for $2,200. so....that's why nobody has heard of them, haha. It might actually be close in pricing after you ship Fjallasport to the USA though. Glad to finally see flares on a WK!

[@MyJeepStory]

I tried working with Sarona for a while, they took a while to get back to me and finally stopped answering. I'm actually very familiar with their company, they're based pretty close to me about two hours out. I was going to jump on their hood before someone warned me of their quality though.

[@BassTurntUp]

@@MyJeepStory thanks for the heads up! I was also looking into it, havent messaged them or anything yet. figured I'd mention that they did exist prior, haha!

[@MyJeepStory]

I appreciate you writing in, bud! To be honest, you're correct. When I made the video I was thinking off road oriented flares, but Sarina does have their standalone kit available. I was doing a lot of work at the time for the SRT8 crowd when I wanted their hood and I told one of my good friends I was going to go with the Sarona brand. You should have seen the look on his face! He told me that it's not uncommon for light to shine through pinholes in their hood and fitment to be very off. 🤷

[@MyJeepStory]

You found another set!? I may have to change my title them. I looked forever and found either the Mopar Euro spec set or the company in Italy (who claimed they were starting a production, but never followed through).

@@MyJeepStory cool. Do you have a link you can drop for me?

[@bradgt5130]

As a former WK owner. And looking for another low milage. (Hard to find) the biggest issue I find is the fiber glass. I’m not of crazy offroad guy but when I had my WK it seen a few trails a lot more camping but how tough would those be if brushed up against say, brush or even catch a nice branch. For that price it would almost make me cry. Great look though, love those bumpers. Never seen those.

[@MyJeepStory]

Thanks for the compliments! I understand your concerns for the fiberglass, but they're much thicker than I expected and probably have similar tolerances than those of their plastic, Bushwacker counterpart. We'll see, I know I'll be painting them soon with a thick liner which will hopefully add another line of defense. The same liner is actually on those bumpers which are from Metal Pasja!

[@BuBBz]

How did you like your WK? I own a Wj and now a WK. In January i was buying a 2018 ram express until i came across a 2010 Wk, Laredo x package. Has all the bells and whistles. Seriously didnt want to move away from jeep. Ive owned 2 Zjs, My WJ and now WK. Ive been thinking of turning my WJ into my toy and leaving my WK somewhat stock. Mainly because 4 inches in the Wj will run me 700 bucks compared to 4k in the wk =P. Anyways i just wanted to Boast about the only reason i actually didnt buy the Ram pickup and the WK instead was because the WK only had 26k miles on it! 8 years old only 26k miles. It now just has over 29k. One thing i can say about my Wk thus far is it blows away my WJ in the snow. Ive got a video of the WJ on my page of some NY state of emergency blizzard warning donuts =P

[@bradgt5130]

BuBBz I love the wk platform. Great looking model, overall experience was great. Had the 4.7 qt2 4wd system. And couldn’t complain. It took everything I had to do with it between camping and light off-roading. It still has a great offroad community, had a OME lift and F150 MLL in the rear, gave it a nice lift and remain a factory rake look. JBA upper control arms is a must if lifting. But that’s a sweet find. I came across a 07 with 56k a while back but didn’t get to the dealer in time. It’s hard to come across a low milage model that isn’t all crap.

[@BuBBz]

Nice. My wk has the 5.7. Kinda funny i had my mind set on a new ram then an add came up on KZbin. Had everything i wanted, "trailrated" the hemi sunroof,heated leather QT2 etc. Jumped on it was in it within 2 days hah. Wj still is my favorite look of the grand cherokees but the Wk is growing on me only thing i dislike going from the zjs to wj to the wk is they are getting smaller inside! although the Wk does feel somewhat sporty. Was thinking of the old man emus and the JBA's for a 2-3 inch lift. Have a bran new set of Cooper stt pros sitting in storage since i took them off the wj for the old lady to drive last winter. How did the drive shaft hold up? Also how was the cv axles after the lift?

[@MyJeepStory]

You'll have some issues with the CV axles depending on how high you lift without a differential drop. You'll be safe between 2-3" though, so don't worry about that. As for the shaft, you'll be fine. You'll find differential drops from JeePerf or Superlift, but you can only get the differential drop from JeePerf as a standalone product. See JeePerf.com for more one that.

1300 for flares only yet i have full custom fiberglass 4in bulge prerunner fenderd for 350 and a hood for 300 on my ZJ life is a trip

[@MyJeepStory]

ZJs have flares from the factory so it's much more simple to make a design for them whereas for a WK, the only option is to start from scratch. I'm not saying that $1,300 is cheap, but there's also a smaller market for a WK over a ZJ so supply and demand has a big effect on the price of each. Black Ops Auto Works also makes fiberglass and carbon fiber hoods for WKs, but they're also a lot more complex than a ZJ hood having to follow the original body lines that contour the headlights causing the price to increase.

[@MyJeepStory]

Excuse me, I didn't mean ZJs have flares from the factory, but that other companies have made a design for them already giving custom work a template and place to start when designing new flares.

@@MyJeepStory do you know why gen 3 jcs dont have any available ? thanks for responding

[@haroldcallahan4887]

@@MyJeepStory I was wondering why I could not find ANY flares for my gen 3 GC - I did a search and found your video- Any idea why 2005-2010 JGCs dont have any other available fender flares ? It looks like all others have something but ours have nothing available

[@MyJeepStory]

There are a few reasons that I'm familiar with. For one, the WK has no OEM flare which would provide a flare manufacturer with starting specs and mounting options to create aftermarket flares. Being no OEM flare, a company like Bushwacker has to analyze how much work is to be put into designing a totally custom set of flares and see if the result would be worth it (profitable). Bushwacker made a poll years ago for WK owners to see how much interest there would be in flares and nothing came of it. That's why Fjallasport has to make each set by hand as they are small batches with no OEM flare to replicate their flares off of and thus, super high prices. There were some previous options available, one from Italy, but with my limited knowledge of fiberglass/plastic/carbon fiber moulding, it costs a lot of initial money to make a mould and have a manufacturer recreate flares and other pieces. This knocked out all previous attempts at making, and continuing to make, flares for our rigs.

$1300 !!! Damn...

[@MyJeepStory]

I know, but each set is hand made for the vehicle and tested individually. Not to mention these are the only set on the market. 😩

that's not a grand Cherokee, that's a Mega Wrangler

I'm in Australia and they're going to cost me $2400 you're getting ripped off it might cost that much to make a one off mould but once they have that one of mould the cost is next to nothing to manufacture them pieces..

[@MyJeepStory]

Well, you get what you pay for and with a limited market, everything is much more expensive. I found value in it and shipping alone is over $800 for one bumper. Paying $1,500-$2,200 for a well designed and unique piece like this is worth it to me. Most bumpers are so boring, but these have many more welds and design features others don't. Not to mention the rear having a tire carrier and rear winch mount along with the ability to remove the rear "sub-frame" piece for much more ground clearance. I know I'm beating a dead horse here going on like this, but if you're series about wheeling this platform, ya gotta pay unless you're willing to do the work. I definitely get what you mean though.

That price is outta fuckin control! You could someone to make a metal set for that price.

[@MyJeepStory]

Well yeah, of course you can! Metal is less desirable in a fender flare and it takes much more time and skill to make it out of fiberglass. You won't get smooth lines that flow with with the body in a metal set and it's preferred that upon impact, the flare break so that it doesn't push into the body. Don't get me wrong, I'm not justifying the price. They're very expensive, but unfortunately they can be due to the fact that they're the only ones on the market. 😔

Make a mold out of them.

[@MyJeepStory]

I don't think that's an ethical idea.

[@Blake64]

I would rather have no flares

[@tonymengela3575]

they want almost $2000 usd,,,, they arent that fkn good not at all and for that price they should be carbon fiber. they have molds man and they are easy to make. no way they should cost that much not even close
