Default Bedlined fenders??????

I have a black sahara and am thinking about duplicolor bedlining the fenders. Has anyone done this yet with any success?? I did my rims 2 weeks ago and they look great. I was thinking of doing the fenders and grill at the same time. Any tips or hints would be greatly appreciated. If anyone wants, I will do a full write up of it. Thanks!!!

Dan

Check out the "show your flat fenders" thread. One guy used speedliner on his flat flares. Looks great.

I had mine lineX after a lady at walmart opened here door into them. Couldn't even say it was a cool off road ding.... Anyways 200 bucks later and I couldn't be happier. FYI I'd tape and leave them on the jeep. The only thing I'd take off would be the plastic rivets that hold the fender to the air dam. If you remove the entire fender the job gets 100x more annoying. Also you can get replacement rivets off quadratec.

Great info. 2 questions though. What gets more annoying from removing them and how would you get the liner all the way inside where the fender meets the quarter panel??? Thanks

I put on Bushwackers so I know what its like to take the factories off. Remember, they come from the factory being made to stay On. So with all the random plastic connectors that are behind the sheet metal, I couldnt even tell you how to begin put a factory fender back on. I can say, when taking them off, you break almost all of the plastic pieces hold them on.

I know this isnt the best description, with out proper terms and all. But if anything, just trust what the guy says and take your time and tape everything very well. You'd be glad you did.

so I'm guessing it's just like doing the grill mod, sand, clean, spray. Take your time and away you go?! I'm thinking if I'm gonna spray the outside, might as well spray under the wheel well too. Any thoughts???

I just did this this earlier this week to my Sahara. It looks good, I like it a lot. I left them on the jeep and just sprayed the tops of them because I didn't have enough stuff and time to do the under side. Make sure you cover the entire hood before you start spraying, not my best hour.

So by that token when you do the rears, do you need to cover the entire side??? Did you use duplicolor or something else?

if you do a google search, you'll find a couple of links to removing the fenders with pretty good write up and fenders. I think it was part of the directions for putting some sort of a fender chop kit. Anyway they come off fairly easy. I got mine speedlined. Turned out fantastic. I also got the bed, grille, pinch seams, and nerf bars done at the same time.
