Do you have the tools/time to do this yourself? If so all can be done over a weekend. Good chance to invest in tools, a jack and stands. Bring a buddy over, have a pizza and a pop or adult pop.

yeah just did my front bumper.. it was a very simple, 8 bolts and 2 fog light disconnects. took me a couple of hours. do it yourself save some cash and enjoy the satisfaction of a job well done and not getting ripped off.

Front bumper, 1-2 hours alone, .75-1.5 with a friend. Basic hand tools. Rear bumper same as front, side steps 1-2 hours depending. Bring a friend. If you where close to Phoenicia would do it for u for a quarter that. Lol

I know time and space play a part in many people's decisions to have parts like these installed, but I would really encourage you to give it a shot yourself. You are not dealing with any parts here that can not be done with simple hand tools, and you can do it alone, thought a little help goes a long way. I's agree with the estimates below, but you might consider pocketing the install money and doing it yourself.

completely agree with everyone else on this. Also just climbing around your Jeep will give you the chance to really see everything and know what it's supposed to look like before it's broken
