Default XRC Front Fender Armor
I installed the front and rear XRC Fender Armor. The instructions were very vague about what to do with the inner fenders. I don't want to take them complete off because i live in RI and there is a lot of salt during the winter months. As anyone installed these are their JK. Got any advice?

i found them on ebay cheap because some one both them for their four door lol. They were a little of a pain to install but i didn't have to grind away the holes like it says on the reviews on 4wd.com

They seem durable to me, 3/16 steel. BUT WHAT A PAIN IN THE A$$ INSTALLING THEM. I Think they will be able to take a beating, but this is my DD also so i don't wheel to hard.........yet!

Just wanted to give an update, I have beat the crap out of these fenders, besides the install and the front inner fenders, these are the way to go

There is a you tube video of someone shooting the fenders with a 9mm or larger caliber. Search for "bullet mod"

I love my fenders...but i'm with you the fit of the inner fenders leaves something to be desired. I cut my factory liners and they fit okay. The ones they sent don't seem like they fit all that well and a little piece hangs down on the rear that I don't know what to do with???

I love the look of these things, but do they make them for 11's?? All the ones I see say like 07-10. Was there a change in bolt size or something.... sheesh.
