Installation Guidelines & Instructions
This is intended to assist you in installing your new Jungle Fender Flares.

Heavy Duty Fiberglass fender flares = “FG”.

Installing fender flares is not highly difficult or technical but it does require the user to have some mechanical aptitude. Also, the following tools are recommended:
-Light Spring-Loaded Clamps or Scissor Clamps (can be helpful, especially without a helper) -Phillips Screwdriver (for ABS)
-Electric Drill (some applications)
-File, Utility knife such as Olfa or Xacto, or Grinder if skilled enough
Step 1- Preparation:
If you want to have your fender flares painted, this should be done prior to installation, although test-fitting is recommended before painting. If painting the rubber edge trim (not recommended), a special flexible paint should be used. Any fender trim, mudflaps, and mudflap brackets should be removed prior to installing fender flares.
Step 2 -Ensure Fit of Fender Flares Against Body:
If you do not need to paint the fender flares, you can secure the edge trim with a drop of super glue (cyanoacrylate) every few inches paying special attention to the fuel notch area. Hold your fender flares in place to see that they fit correctly against the body panels of your vehicle. As FG fender flares are so rigid, they sometimes need some firm pressure to get the upper flare edge to sit flat and tight against the fender. Once you get them in place against the fender and mount the first screw/bolt, do not yet release the pressure you are holding against the flare until you have mounted the flare in multiple places. Releasing the pressure holding the flare in place with only one or two screws/bolts securing it can cause damage to the fender flare.

It may be required to take moldings off your vehicle or to cut the moldings shorter so they don’t interfere with the fender flares, depending which trim package your vehicle is equipped with. Sanding, filing, or minor cutting can sometimes be required to ensure the flares fit correctly against the vehicles body.
Step 3 –Attaching Fender Flares to Vehicle
flares and/or fenders do not have holes already: Put the flares firmly in place. It is best to have the assistance of another person especially when firm pressure is required to keep them in position

Again, this is only a guideline and the installer sometimes has to make revisions depending on the specifics of the vehicle. The hardware sac provided with ABS flares can be used for most fender flare applications. FG flare kits do not include any hardware so it must be purchased separately.


The heavy duty flares are a rigid fiberglass, so they are not manipulated to go into position as easily as plastic fender flares that are more common some countries. These fiberglass fender flares can require being pushed quite firmly to get into position, requiring a bit of muscle unlike plastic flares. Once firmly in position, then drill and mount the flares.
-When aligning these into position, begin with the flare below the wheel arch to ensure that the underside lip of the flare catches the inside lip of the fender. Then push the flares firmly further up and in at the same time making sure the underside lip of the flare stays under the lip of the fender. You will have to push the flares up hard enough to bend that underside lip of the flare to the same contour as the fender lip, and also in hard enough until the edge of the flare bends to the same contour as the face of the fender.
-Again, once you get a fender flare firmly in place against the fender and mount the first screw/bolt, do not yet release the pressure you are holding against the flare until you have mounted the flare in multiple places!!! Releasing the pressure thats holding the flare in place with only one or two screws/bolts securing it can cause damage to the fender flare.
