Default Bushwacker Fender Flares

Love these fender flares now that I am complete. Not gonna lie took me a solid 6 hours of install but all in all loving them. Just a heads up anyone interested in these when wiring LED marker lights remember white to black for proper wiring. Learned that the hard way luckily i could remove fender liner and get to wires easy enough. Test b4 final installation to save yourself the heart attack

Only 6 hours? It took me over 8 hours, lol. The hardest part for me was cutting the inner fender liners. I was so afraid of cutting that first one too much, I didn't cut enough using a hacksaw, then had to go back and recut. After the first one, the sawzall took care of the other 3 much quicker. Now that I've done the install and know what I'm doing, I think I could do it in about half the time. It's not difficult, but it is tedious. Fortunately, I had already heard about the black to white wiring for the side marker lights.

Very nerve racking ripping apart a brand new Jeep and making permanent mods. Had a hard time falling asleep last night thinking I had to pull front fenders off to get at wiring. Woke up this morning and was able to access wiring through fender liner.

I really like mine. I have done good and not beat them up or off yet. The best part of the install was finishing. It is a 6-pack plus job.

Sorry for bringing up an old thread but THANK YOU!

Thanks to this you saved me big time today, had the fenders on and no working lights. I was not happy to say the least, quick search and found this, switched wires and BAM. Let there be light!!

anyways thanks a lot for the help. Sure would be nice if the directions were a little better.
