Took me 9 hours to do mine (alone) but didn't break any bolts. It was a PITA but worth it.

Reading the post, and understanding what flares are being talked about, isn't much for your taste either is it?

Someone please pray for me, I'm bleeding and throwing tools. On to booze.
I would give into the booze, and tackle it again in a few days.

I agree with the booze. I installed bushwacker flats on my last jeep and I'll never do it again. I'm just keeping the stock fenders this time till I save up for metal ones.

Hopefully my MCE fenders will be easier to install.
