I mashed mine into a tree and got some evo rear corner rock skin. Any advice on installing them would be awesome

I run ORFab haven't really given them any hard smacks yet mostly kisses with limbs of trees, not much rock where I wheel. Love the fit and finish. Installing nutserts with the lousy tool they send is a nightmare though... Buy a good one lol

Lots of ratchets straps, c clamps! It helps if your jeep is topless and doorless you have more places to clamp them down!

I run the metalcloak and it is a great setup. The armor is 3/16" and is braced to the tub. There are a couple examples out there of guys that rolled their rigs and there was no damage to the underlying body.

For those who wheel, the fenders are nearly bullet proof and work great for pivoting off of trees, etc.

And a quick plug for myself. My rear MC armor and fenders are all of 6 months old and will be for sale beginning Oct. 25. They are professionally powder coated as well. I'm going with a rear stretch, so I'll be making custom comp cut corners. See my build - just about everything listed will be for sale

Default Theae would be best bet poison spyderand work with oem taillights which saves 200 buc

You would have to replace the tail lights on both sets.

Wow, 5+ years later. Anyhow, while I'm here, most people looking at this thread will already be in the situation of having damage, but it is so much easier to put armor over nice flat body panels than it is to try to cover up damage.
