Default River Raider Fender Install

Update: The fronts fenders are on and really fit nice. Excellent support and connection to the subframe. Very sturdy - stood on them and had no deflection... ummm.... I'm a bit (ok - more than a bit) over 200lbs...



On the rears - I have played around a bit with the loosening bolts, etc. It is looking better and kenny from River Raider is waiting to hear from me so he can advise if I still have any issues -great customer service!

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Couldn't wait to open these!

The package was great, thick box and padding inside. Each fender separated by more cardboard...

First out was the passenger rear fender. Everything looked great!

Found the ziplock baggies of mounting hardware and proceeded to do a test fit. Used some rubber coated clamps to hold them up and take a look... stunning!

Had some problems with the rears but it was resolved by loosening all the bolts and re-aligning. I suggest taking it slow and careful on the rears. But they are looking good now. Will upload more pics once the bumpers are back from sand balst and coating.

I am thinking that the well nuts supplied might be creating a bit of an angle. may try some small spacers.

Anyone know how big a difference there is on the rear of the unlimited vs. the 2 door for fenders? Maybe I have a set for 4 door?

Fronts look awesome and still tweaking the rear. I will install the passenger side rear tonight. Probably be a breeze...
