Jeep CJ5/CJ7 1972-1986, MetalCloak Rear Flare Mounting Plates, Mod Cut, Pair

Rear flares need something solid to hang on, and the thin sheet metal on an older CJ tub is not it. These mod-cut base plates reinforce the rear sheet metal with 1/8in cold-rolled steel and carry the mounting hardware for MetalCloak quick-release rear flares. They also act as a guide for opening the stock wheel well, which gives the tire more clearance, with up to 35s possible on a stock CJ without rubbing. They integrate with MetalCloak rocker rails. Plan on 2 to 3 hours for cutting and drilling.
