ROUGH COUNTRY F-F11201A Pocket Fender Flares Instruction Manual
PRIOR TO INSTALLATION
Install the flares according to these written instructions with the hardware
provided. WARNING: Failure to install according to these instructions will
invalidate the warranty. This includes, but is not limited to, using
alternative installation methods, hardware, or materials.
DO NOT USE: Loctite, Superglue, or similar products on the hardware or
the flares. Install flares on cleaned vehicle surfaces.
B) Fit: Verify the fit of the flares to vehicle prior to installation
(some filing, sanding, or cutting may be necessary to ensure proper fit).
C) Painting: (Optional) if paint is desired it must be done prior to
installing flares on vehicle. Clean outer surface with a good grade degreaser.
DO
NOT USE LACQUER THINNER OR ENAMEL REDUCER AS A
DEGREASER. Wipe outer surface thoroughly with a tack rag prior to paint.
Application of plastic adhesion promoter for ABS plastic as per your paint
system manufacturer’s recommendations is required. Paint flares using a high-
quality enamel, or polyurethane automotive paint. If painting edge trim (not
recommended), use a flex additive.
D) Performance: Using larger tires may increase the area required to turn
the vehicle. Some tire/rim combinations may require lowering bump stops and or
installing steering stops to prevent tire from contacting flare.
E) Exhaust System: Modifications may be necessary to maintain a minimum
4” clearance between flares and exhaust pipes. (Exhaust gases should not vent
directly onto flares)
F) Metal Protection: All exposed fasteners and bare metal should be
treated with rust resistant paint BEFORE installing flares. Spray inner fender
wells with undercoating AFTER flare attachments have been completed.
G) Decals: Flares may interfere with existing decals on vehicle. If you
wish, remove decals prior to installation of flares.
H) Care & Cleaning: Fender flares are built to last; any detergent you
use to wash your vehicle is sufficient to clean the flare. Do not use any
harsh abrasive detergents.

around the top edge of the flare.
