Offroad Trailblazers and Envoys

Fender Flares Everyone should know about

Trailblazer and Envoy related, but not off-road related...

[photobucket][/photobucket]As time has passed a few new additions have been made to Bandito. I finally got the right fender flares. So for all you guys out there looking for the best cut door Flare, Bushmaster makes it. Only it is for the Jeep Cherokee. They are the Bushmaster Cut Away Bolt-on for a mid 90's Cherokee. Once I got those on it was time for bigger tires to fill out the wheel wells. So I went up to a 285/75-16 BFG TA KO and they are perfect!!!

:Iagree: :need pics:
Do the fenders line up well with the body lines? Are they a direct bolt on or do they need somemodification to work?

I would think the grand cherokee would have body lines closer to ours.

I have a hard time believing either would fit without major cutting and contorting, but yes the grand does seem closer

As i was sitting in my truck this morning before school, I noticed a TB and a jeep lib///y parked near each other. I couldn't help but notice that the rear fender flares on the Jeep looked damn close to the body lines of the TB. Someone would have to get out a tape measure to see just how close they are. FWIW

I saw these flares on ebay a few minutes ago



They might work if someone is looking for some but it looks like they might need a good bit of effort.

We have a "special love" for that Jeep model around here. :shoot:

Even though I put one of their dash grab handles in the Roadiemobile.
