I'm looking for a right front fender flare for a 1995 gmc sonoma highrider/zr2, i need the upper part and the lower part, does anyone know where i can find these?
 
CRAP! This thread just reminded me.

I was at Harry's in Hazleton PA yesterday and saw a ZR2 with three good flairs on it (pass front was broken), and totally forgot to go back and grab them. I bet they would have been only about $8 each or so.

Anyone near Hazleton in need of ZR2 flairs, as of yesterday at noon there were three good ones there. lol
 
Ik peole say its a bitch to do, but what exactly is reguired to put zr2 flares on a non zr2? I might be able to get a full set in good shape on the cheaper side...

Save yourself the agravation and just buy Bushwackers. Otherwise you are going to be cutting, drilling, and possibly breaking stuff which makes for a terrible end product. The bushwackers are kinda pricey IMO but they are a simple 20 minute job to install.

I dont have the money to spend on the Bushwhackers at the moment, otherwise i would. I can prolly get a set cheap (factory ones), that why i need to know.

this might be an old thread but to the o.p. where are you finding the front flares ? I need a driver one.

will the s10 zr2 flares fit a highrider? I thought I saw somewhere a guy selling some s10 zr2 flares and stated that they didnt fit his Highrider.
 
Do you own a Zr2?

If not, your better off getting some after market ones. The fender flares are not a direct bolt in and are a pain to get on.
Can you elaborate as to why ZR2 flares are difficult to fit to an S10 body? I ask because this is a mod I would like to do to my 01 Sonoma. I have a 02 S10 ZR2 parked side by side with my 01 Sonoma and don't see why wouldn't fit. I'd hate to find I'm wrong after spending the money for a set of ZR2 flares.

Thank you
 
You can make them fit with some cutting, but It would be more advisable to buy some fenders with the flares attached from the salvage yard. to get the flareson a non Z you have to cut the fender, as well as drill holes in the sheet metal, it would be 1000x easier taking the fenders off to do this.

This is the line I cut along when I did mine as well as the holes marked.

The rears can be done with no cutting by using BlaZeR2 flares, but you will still have to drill holes for the studs.
 
You can get complete sets of ZR2 fender flares at www.JungleFenderFlares.com for $250

They will soon be offering ZR2 style flares to fit regular non-ZR2's soon also.
Just went to the junglefenderflares website and the ZR2 flares are for the 2 door Blazer and Jimmy models. Will they fit the pickups as well? Guess it doesn't matter because "This product is no longer in stock" as displayed on the website.

Those are fiberglass too just so you're aware of it. No, the blazer and pickup truck rear fenders are different and don't interchange. The fronts interchange though. The pickup truck flares are few and far between and getting really scarce. You'll be time ahead to pull the front fenders off a ZR equipped vehicle instead of trying to mod fenders. It's not hard. The rear blazers initially had plugs on the inside of the wheel openings that were meant to keep water and dirt out. They get lost over time and that's when the problems begin. The rear blazer flares have plastic tabs that mount with a screw to the wheel opening. These usually break off during removal. They'll need epoxied back on if they break. The trucks have a metal reinforcement band that goes around the perimeter of the rear wheel opening the bolts to the side of the wheel well opening. The flare bolts to this. Here again they usually get broken studs when you try to remove them. You can repair the metal reinforcements. You grind off the old studs and drill out where it was once mounted. You install a new bolt and tack the head of it to the brace so it doesn't turn.
