Default Bushwacker Pocket Fender Flare Install

Anyone installed Bushwacker Pocket Flares? I have a set arriving next week for my 2008 Unlimited and was just wondering how hard they are to install and how long it may take.

Do you have to be pretty technically proficient with the tool box, or can an average person put these on?

i did a set a couple years ago.. takes some time.. but after you do one the other flares are alote faster.. from what i remember the back flares are easier... just take your time a read the directions a few times.. its not to bad ,the front requires some cutting .. good luck

Actually I am glad you brought up the "cutting". That was the part I read about that started to make me wonder if I was up for the task. I can ply, screw, hammer, and wrench with the best of them, but I am not sure I like the idea of cutting anything on my Jeep....Hopefully the directions are pretty clear and not like directions from IKEA with those little cartoons.

Good to know. I figured the cutting would be in the underneath section, but I wasn't sure.
