Overline Flat Front Flare 4", Pair - Jeep TJ/LJ/YJ Wrangler

A 4" wide front flare in the Overline Flat style, quick-release mounted to MetalCloak tube fenders. It comes off in minutes - no special tools and no removing the fender.

How the MetalCloak flare system works

These are not simple overlays on the factory fenders. MetalCloak built a whole system: tube fenders replace the factory sheet metal and form the load-bearing structure, and onto them go interchangeable flares in 1 1/2", 4", 6" or 8" widths on quick-release mounts. A flare comes off in minutes - before an event, after damage, or when you want a different width for different tires.

Two geometries: Arched follows the tire (the classic look), Overline is flat and raised - more clearance over the tire and a better approach angle. Flares from one family do not fit fenders from the other.

Black Textured Powder Coat

The powder coated version carries MetalCloak's signature micro-textured semi-gloss finish. It resists stone chipping and local trail damage can be touched up without refinishing the whole part.

Mounting requirement: the manufacturer states plainly that this flare mounts only on MetalCloak tube fenders of the matching family. It cannot be fitted to factory fenders.

European regulations: tires must not protrude beyond the bodywork. Flare width is therefore not only a styling choice - it is matched to how far the wheels stick out. We are happy to help pick a width for your wheels and tires.

Before painting: the manufacturer requires a test fit on the vehicle before any custom paint or powder coating. Painted parts cannot be returned.

Homologation: this product carries no European type approval. Road legality after installation is decided by the vehicle inspection station; check before buying if in doubt.

Installation

Easy. The manufacturer quotes 10 minutes - the flare simply clips onto the fender.

A note on vehicle age

TJs and LJs are now twenty to nearly thirty years old. Expect seized bolts and corroded frame threads when removing factory parts - soak the joints in penetrant beforehand and use anti-seize on reassembly. Several reviews of TJ parts are really about this rather than about the part.

We import this product directly from the MetalCloak factory in the USA. Please contact us for the current lead time before placing an order.
