Standard Aluminum Front 3.5 Fender for Jeep Wrangler TJ/LJ 1997-2006
Artec Aluminum Front 3.5 High-Clearance Fenders — Jeep Wrangler TJ/LJ (1997–2006)
Stop rubbing at full stuff. Artec’s aluminum high-clearance front fenders pull the sheet metal back and up so bigger tires cycle through full travel — and the aluminum build trims real weight off the nose versus steel tube fenders. The raised 3.5 profile gives a purposeful, tucked look, and it bolts on with no fabrication.

No — they bolt on with the included hardware and instructions.
Are they sold as a pair?
Yes — driver and passenger fenders come together.
What pairs with them?
Artec's TJ/LJ vented inner fenders (TJ2036) are built to integrate, and the YJ/TJ/LJ Rear 3.5 Fender Flare carries the profile to the back.

Specifications
Standard Aluminum Front 3.5 Fender for Jeep Wrangler TJ/LJ 1997-2006 FAQs
Which Jeeps do these fenders fit?
The Jeep Wrangler TJ and long-wheelbase LJ Unlimited, 1997-2006. They are sold as a driver and passenger pair and bolt on in place of the factory front fenders, so no cutting or welding of the body is required to make the swap.
What does the 3.5 in the name mean?
It refers to the raised, high-clearance profile of the fender. The sheet metal is pulled back and up compared with stock, which opens room for larger tires to cycle through full suspension travel without rubbing on a lifted TJ or LJ.
Do I need inner fenders with these?
They are designed to integrate with Artec's TJ/LJ Vented Inner Fenders (TJ2036), and running both gives the cleanest result — the inner fenders close off the engine bay and vent heat while the outer fenders handle tire clearance. The fenders can be installed on their own if you prefer an open wheel well.
