Does anyone know if the rear flares from a TJ are the same as a YJ?
Looking at these bushwacker flares and the rear flares look similar if not the same on both vehicles.

The bushwacker flares would look great on a YJ. If you do it I would love to see some pic's. Well you can fit them to a cj with a grinder
YJ?????
Good luck

There are not the same !!
You can fit TJ flares but they are different than YJ flares
CJ flares look like bushrange add on flare and have a round opening at the rear
YJ Flare fronts are similar to CJ but has more of an opening at the rear of the front flare and slightly different curve to the fender, Rear flares are more like this but up the other way \_/ (damn ascii character wont let me draw it up the right way)
TJ flares are more square giving the biggest opening of the 3
If you are prepared to cut you can fit TJ flares on a YJ or CJ and YJ on CJ
CJ flares would look pretty wierd on a YJ or TJ but
Here is a pic of stock YJ flares
Bushwacker YJ flares are a bigger opening than a stock YJ flare

As far as I am aware they r very similar but not quite the same, the YJ flare is alittle narrower.

you would be surprise just how much more narrow also the front flare is a different curve at the front the TJ one is amost straight up and down where the YJ is raked
but yes they are similar
