Default Smittybilt armor fenders?

Who's got smittybilt armor fenders? And how hard are they to install? I think they look great. Do they go over the existing fenders? Or a whole new fender? Pics would be great too

They do look great, but you will need to get a little trim job on the rear for them to fit. They replace your stock fenders. I have a buddy that has them...they look AWESOME! I want them also!

Were they a pain to put in? What's on the inner side of your doors?

He bought the Jeep with them on already. Those were custom speaker covers with led lighting. The system sounded awesome, but I like the whining sound the supercharger made. The Jeep was made by N-Fab...those guys were super cool and they sure know their stuff!

Edit-I wouldn't try to cut on your Jeep for the rear fenders to fit...you will want to pay for someone to do that part for you.

I know that you have to remove the front fenders completely. It is a little involved, however, I did them last night after work in 6 hours on the fronts by myself. That is from start to finish. Here are a few pics. Not that great pics, but I got a lot of complements today.

I installed them by myself on my 09 Jk Unlimited. They were a MAJOR pain!!!
Directions were terrible, Fasteners Suck and Technical Support was Clueless!!!
It took me about 30 hrs. and a lot of Modifying (nothing fit right). You will need
a Grinder with several cutting discs and good metal Working skills!!! The front
Fenders and Quarter Panels must be removed along with the rear Fenders. I do however
Love the look now and could do it again in 10-12 hrs. If you decide to do it I will be happy
to walk you through it and give you my phone number.
