Rusty's builds the most complete lineup of steel fenders and fender flares for the Jeep XJ Cherokee. Factory XJ fender flares are plastic, they crack, they fade and they were not designed to handle serious trail use or big tires. Once you start running larger tires or pushing your XJ on rocky terrain, those factory flares are one bad line away from becoming a problem. Rusty's XJ fenders are built from heavy gauge steel, laser cut, CNC formed and robotically welded right here in America. Whether you want a standard high clearance flare to give you more tire room or a full crawler style setup that gets out of the way on serious obstacles, Rusty's has the option that fits your build. Trail tested tough, made in the USA.

Standard Steel Fender Flares
More clearance, better looks, built to last. Rusty's standard XJ steel fender flares are built from 1/8 inch steel body panels with 3/16 inch flare sections for serious strength where it counts. They are laser cut, CNC formed and robotically welded so there are no visible exterior welds and the fit is exact. The front flares include dual inner reinforcement structures that are strong enough to use a Hi-Lift jack off of if you need to. You get an additional 3.5 inches of tire clearance over the factory openings and a durable satin black powder coat finish that holds up on and off the trail. Available as a front and rear package or front and rear pairs sold separately.

Crawler High Clearance Steel Fender Flares
Built for serious trail rigs that need maximum clearance. The Crawler High Clearance fenders take a more aggressive approach to fender design, cutting back more material and repositioning the fender line to get completely out of the way when your suspension is fully flexed on a technical obstacle. If you are running a long arm kit and big tires and you are pushing your XJ on real rock, the crawler style fenders give you the clearance your build actually needs. Available front only, rear only or as a complete front and rear package.
- Maximum tire clearance for lifted and long arm XJ builds
- Designed for serious trail and rock crawling use
- Heavy gauge steel construction
- Laser cut and CNC formed for precise fit
- Satin black powder coat finish
- Available front only, rear only, or complete package
- Made in the USA
XJ Rear Upper Quarter Panel Guards
Protect what the fenders do not cover. The rear upper quarter panels on an XJ are some of the most vulnerable sheet metal on the whole rig. Rocks, brush and trail debris have a way of finding that spot every single time. Rusty's XJ Rear Upper Quarter Panel Guards give you steel protection right where the factory left you exposed, without a full fender replacement. A great addition to any XJ build whether you are running our fenders or not.
- Protects rear upper quarter panels from trail damage
- Heavy gauge steel construction
- Powder coat finish
- Works with or without Rusty's fender flares
- Made in the USA
Why Replace Your XJ Cherokee Fenders with Steel?
The Jeep XJ Cherokee is one of the most capable and popular off road platforms ever built, but the factory plastic fender flares were never designed for serious trail use or larger tires. They crack on impact, fade over time and give up clearance you need when your suspension is working hard on a technical obstacle. Rusty's XJ steel fenders solve all of that. Laser cut and CNC formed heavy gauge steel, built right here in America, with enough strength to handle the abuse that serious XJ wheeling brings. Whether you are building a daily driver that sees the trail on weekends or a dedicated crawler, Rusty's has an XJ fender option that fits the way you wheel.
XJ Steel Fender FAQ
What is the difference between the Standard and Crawler High Clearance fenders?
The Standard steel fender flares give you 3.5 inches of additional tire clearance over factory and are a great fit for most XJ builds running a lift and larger tires. The Crawler High Clearance fenders are cut back further and are designed for rigs running long arm suspension and big tires that need maximum clearance on serious obstacles. If you are pushing your XJ hard on technical rock, the Crawler style is the right choice.
Can I use a Hi-Lift jack on Rusty's XJ front fenders?
Yes. The front fender flares include dual inner reinforcement structures that are strong enough to use a Hi-Lift jack off of. That is not something you can say about factory plastic fenders.
Do Rusty's XJ fenders fit both 2-door and 4-door Cherokees?
The standard and crawler fender packages are designed for the XJ 4-Door Cherokee. Be sure to verify fitment for your specific model when ordering.
What finish do Rusty's XJ steel fenders come in?
All Rusty's XJ steel fenders come with a durable satin black powder coat finish and include black stainless installation hardware.
Do I need to replace all four fenders at once?
No. Rusty's offers front pairs and rear pairs sold separately so you can replace just what you need. Complete front and rear packages are also available if you want to do everything at once.
