I know it's been said but man what a PITA those things were! Unlike what others said, I found the liner cutting to be easy. The tiny screws for the turn signals were the real chore. Overall def worth the effort, but waaaay more involved than I thought. Started at 8am and finished at 4:30pm taking only 1 hr break.

Love the look though and can't wait to wheel them!

Looks great! I found the liner trim the easiest part too. I had some readjusting to do when mounting the fender mounts, and guiding those little screws through the fender into the mounts were a pain.

I've got the same front bumper too. I think our JKs are related hahaha

I put mine on Friday after work and I have to agree that the liner was easy. I had more trouble finding the Dang fuse to my left parking lights cause I popped the fuse when slicing the wires lol. The fro t driver side took me 2.5hrs since it was the first one I did but after that I had the rest of them installed in a additional 2.5hrs. So I was looking at 5 total hrs with a 30min break in there.

Looks unreal! Warming up to doing this myself before I build the rest. What size lift/tires are you running?

Looks great! For those of us in the snow and salt, keeping the inner liner is key. I see a lot without the inner liner and just can't do it with all the winter crap we have. Do the inner liners hold in well?
