Fenders finally shipped today after they changed my expected ship date to March 3rd.

Shipping ups ground so depend where they are coming from I might get lucky and have them Saturday.

Now I'll have to figure out how to add pictures on here...

Got mine in yesterday overall install is pretty straight forward. The fenders looks great I did have a few areas where the powder coating was already cracking and peeling off on delivery. I do kind of wish the top of them were welded to the the tube portion.

For the price I can't complain and they look sick.

Straight forward install, any drilling or cutting? Do they reuse the factory holes? If possible can you post the install instructions?

They look great, how about the rears?

I will be ordering mine in about 2 weeks! Going to go with the Crawler Conseptz inner liners at the same time. Should really change the look of the front end.

I'll get the instructions up in a bit, i didn't do the rears yet. It does require two holes to be drilled near the bottom of the fender. It uses mostly OEM mounting holes but does come with a black for the 3 bolts near top of the fender overall they are pretty sturdy. They are definitely one of the more aggressive looking fenders on the market.

It looks like there is a large gap between the fender and the body, or is that a trick of the camera?

Looking at the 4th picture I would say there is no gap. I think the light coming through in the second picture is because it is not all the way tightened and more of a test fit picture.

I'll know on Friday when I install mine as they showed up today.
