Default Smittybilt XRC Armor Corner Guards and fenders opinions please :)

Anyone know about ----

Smittybilt XRC Armor Front Fender Flares
2007-2010 Jeep Wrangler JK & Unlimited JK

Front fenders, do they just go over stock or replace?
How well built are they?


What about the rear?
Smittybilt XRC Armor Corner Guards
2007-2010 Jeep Wrangler JK

Will they hold up? Do they just rivot on over the panels?

I have a few dents in the back from wheeling...do you think this would be an easy cover/fix?

thanks for the help
I would go with AEV in the back but they are not long enough.

No personal experience, but if you do a search you will find that people say they are the biggest pain in the rear to install.

Look at some of my posts. I have them and love them!!
Wasn't to bad of an install. Just measure 3-4x before you drill. The front are almost bolt on. You need to cut off the factory fender bracket. The rears need about 14 Rivnuts installed.:/ once you do the first one the rest are easy.. here's a pic of my 07 jku. 3" lift with 315/70/17's.

They will go over your dents very well depending where they are located. Might have an issue of where the placement of a Rivnut goes... Take a look at smittybilts install directions, might be able to gauge where you would need to drill compared to where your dents are located..

The front does replace your fender and flares...
