Jeep Fender Repair: Wrangler Flares and Aluminum Fenders

Wrangler fenders are aluminum with flares and lighting built in. Learn how fender damage on Wranglers, Gladiators and other Jeeps is repaired.

Wrangler Fenders Are Unique

Modern Wrangler and Gladiator front fenders are aluminum with integrated vents on some models, and many trims have fender flares with built-in lighting. That combination makes fender repairs more involved than on a typical SUV.

Fender Flares

Flares protect the body from rocks and mud, but they crack and break on the trail. High-clearance flares on some trims have a different shape. We replace flares with the correct type and reconnect any lighting.

Aluminum Fenders

Aluminum fenders are repaired with aluminum-specific tools. Dents may be repairable; tears or deep creases usually mean replacement.

Rear Quarter Panels and Bed Sides

The Wrangler's rear quarters are part of the steel tub, and the Gladiator's bed sides are separate panels. Damage there follows different procedures.

Unibody Jeep Fenders

On the Compass and Grand Cherokee, fenders are more conventional. We check headlamp mounts and liners and align the new fender with the hood and door.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I replace my flares with aftermarket ones?

Yes, but lighting and fitment should be considered.

Are Wrangler fender vents functional?

On some models, they help release heat from the engine bay.

Will a new fender be painted to match?

Yes, with proper aluminum prep and blending.
