[@TrailAdventuresTV]

Cody, This is like watching vintage porn. But only better! lol Miss you guys, hope this is all over soon so we can get back to adventure trails and camping! Cheers!

[@tylerdurden7020]

That's a great Jeep there, looking awesome!

[@tomforward990]

Looks super clean. Nice build

[@dougyankunas3104]

What wheel size ? Wheel width ? Back spacing ? Tire size ?/?/?

[@02jeepwj]

I want to get these flares but I’ll already have to cut the flare itself for the rear for it to fit with my aftermarket rear bumper

[@RoadKing187]

Wish this would’ve been time lapsed or filmed better. Would like to see how rear was done

[@thetrailchasers]

Yeah, for sure. This was early on and we were trying to figure out how to do the filming thing. To be honest we're still trying to figure it out. But those are really good suggestions

[@TheVintagetamiya]

I can't decide if I want these or not.

[@70Superbird]

I just ordered a set for my 94 ZJ! From the pictures and your video they look great!Thanks, but I couldn't find the first two video...

[@thetrailchasers]

Chris I didn't do a good job of naming the videos. Go to trailchasers.net/videos and they are all there.

[@resqcon7594]

Who knew when this video was posted that one day you would be slummin it in a Ford.

[@thetrailchasers]

Slumming it? Sir, I have moved in to the Penthouse and I have a beautiful view

[@aaaaas640]

Esos guardafangos dónde se pueden comprar pero para un zj con 37" de neumaticos

[@MrJenishbek]

Are these Grand Cherokees really capable off-road?

[@thetrailchasers]

Yes, they are, but it really depends on what you want to do with them. Like any Jeep, they are very capable offroad vehicles in stock form. But, they can be modified to meet your needs. They have some pros and cons, just like any vehicle. If you are thinking about buying one, check out Episode 12 of my podcast www.trailchasers.net/podcast

[@MrJenishbek]

I drove one from Europe. It had a 2.7 CRD diesel engine. It was really nice, very comfortable, but I never really put it in real mud or anything crazy. Loved how comfortable it was though. I'm thinking about getting one.

[@seithbahr4117]

I have some tire rub on my wj, how much did you trim off the front bumper

[@thetrailchasers]

seith bahr it was a lot. I used tin snips to cut back the plastic and metal until it stopped rubbing on the tire. I will look to see if I have any pictures of it, but I cut way more than I originally planned.

[@kingrodriguez5207]

Trail Chasers I bought a 4 lift 285 70 17s 1.5 wheel spacers not doing any hardcore off-road do I still need to trim a lot? Thanks in advance

[@thetrailchasers]

josh Rodriguez Probably not. I only had the tire rubbing when I was off roading. Normal street driving and light wheeling was fine. I would say cut as little as possible and see what happens. Just be aware that if the front tire stuffs up in to the wheel well, there is a possibility it will gouge the tire. Try to eliminate any sharp edges on the sheet metal if possible.

[@kingrodriguez5207]

Trail Chasers okay thanks a lot for the info yeah it's going to be street drive and some light off-road yeah I was planning to do some light cutting eliminate damage to the tires

[@alexandrastephenson6903]

What kind of tires and rims are those?

[@thetrailchasers]

ProComp 98 Series steel Wheels with Hankook Dynapro MT's

[@alexandrastephenson6903]

Thanks for the reply, definitely looking for new tires and rims. Nice jeep!!

[@masonfever]

What size lift are you running looks good if ur on fb join jeep wjs only

[@thetrailchasers]

joe mason It is a 4.5' Iron Rock Off Road long arm kit. I will try to find the WJs Only page on FB.

[@masonfever]

It looks good. Keep the videos coming

[@coloradocolin1]

+Trail Chasers Hey nice video's! I have the IRO 4.5' lift on my WJ. I currently run 32' JK take offs. What size tires can you run after instaling these flares?

[@masonfever]

Jeep wj 99-04

[@thetrailchasers]

+Colin McCarthy I am running Hankook Dynapro MT's size 285/70R17, which is basically a 33"x11.2" tire. At this size, I had to cut a significant amount of front bumper. I wouldn't go any bigger than 33" tires.

[@christospapanagiotou2003]

Hello jeeplovers... One question are this fender flares bigger than the classic bushwacker ones? As the wj looks huge or it might be the angle

[@TireSmokin1]

Does it have an aftermarket lift kit? If so, How much lift does it have?

[@thetrailchasers]

@tiresmokin1 Are you asking about my 2001 WJ? If so, it's got a 4.5" Iron Rock lift on it. Let me know if you have any other questions.

[@huntereatshunter4986]

Trail Chasers is it a long arm or short arm lift?

[@muhammadayyad9321]

I just bought, what looks like the same fender flares, but theres no holes to bolt into and i wouldnt even be sure where i could bolt it on to the vehicle anyways. How did you do it?

[@thetrailchasers]

Look at 1:15 minutes in to the video. We put paint on the studs that are already mounted to the fender and held it up to the vehicle. Then, you have to drill the holes for the studs to go through.

[@muhammadayyad9321]

@@thetrailchasers ok, so let me get this straight, drill holes into the fender, stick the studs through from the back, drill a hole through the fender flare, and top it off with a nut? Id also need to cut out my fender so i can bend those tabs up, right? Saw that in your other video. Thank you for responsing 😊

[@thetrailchasers]

@@muhammadayyad9321 I am wondering if you have the same fenders as I did. The fenders I bought from Notch Customs had bolts pre-installed on the inside of the fender flare. All we had to do was drill holes through the sheet metal on the vehicle fender and slide the fender flare on to the vehicle. The bolts from the fender flare went through the sheet metal of the vehicle and we installed nuts on the backside to hold them in place. I don't think this sounds like what you have. If the fenders you came with didn't have instructions, maybe check the manufacturer's website for a support line.

[@muhammadayyad9321]

@@thetrailchasers yeah, so it seems mine are different. I bought it off ebay from poland. Didnt come with any bolts or anything, just the flares, no instructions included. But its np, ill figure it out. Thanks anyways 🙂
