Thanks for the correct part number. It looks like the liners are going to be selling for something like $240. That's a lot more than I think a lot of us expected. It seems like they're more heavily discounted as a bundle with the flares.

So, two questions for Rugged Ridge...

Any chance of offering a discounted price on the liners for those who already bought the flares and have been waiting for the liners to come out (something like six months in my case)?

Do the liners come with replacement fasteners for the one time use push pins for the rears?

Thanks!

I have forwarded the question on cost and possible discount but that one is out of my hands... Sorry.

As for the hardware, yes the liner kit will ship with new hardware.

x2! I too went with these over the Bushwackers because of price and the fact that I've always had great customer service and like RR products. I was really dissappointed in the lack of hardware for the (rear) flares. $260 is about what I paid for the flares so another $280 = $540 and I could've gotten the Bushwackers with liners.

Thanks for looking into this and your prompt reply!

Not fair; I ordered my flares last week thinking that the liners were going to sell at a reasonable price. I will talk to the vendor to see if I can return them…Unless, RR is willing to offer a discount to those of us who already order the flares without the liners.

I just installed my new liners... it took 3 hours and not a single liner fits properly with the flat fenders. I don't know if my liners are shit, or if it's my fenders (could be both at this point). My fenders never lined up properly in the first place, and the liners don't either. But the worse part is they're all off on their measurements in their own special way. Now for each bolt or push tab I've got 3 holes that don't match up with eachother (hole in liner, fender, and jeep body). A lot of hardware couldn't even be used because it was so far off, and the hardware couldn't even go in. Plus you guys should see what they did to the marker lamp relocation mount. The solid plastic one that initially came with just the flat fender kit does not work with the new and improved shitty soft plastic housing that has hole-punched edges. I will post some pics tomorrow, but it is ridiculous. Why throw away a great design for something inferior, and then punch holes around it (at first I thought it was for the tabs in the light, but surprise - they don't line up either). It took almost a year for this design, and this is what they come up with...

Not good! I've ordered mine. If they don't line up properly, I will send them back and buy metal Cloak.

The retainer clips that hold the marker lights in place are too thick/solid and would not flex (they would've destroy the soft plastic)... I used my thinner old ones from the previous hardware kit that came with just the flat fender kit... After just a few minutes, you can see the retainers starting to push through and warp the soft plastic housings, plus they don't hold the light in place as well as the previous hard plastic marker light relocation mounts did. After getting the liner locked down, I wiped one of the lights with a rag, and it popped right out of place. The only way to fix it was to take out the plastic push rivets and do it over again. Also, there are 2 holes punched into the marker light surround that don't line up with anything... looks like shit. See photos below.

Here's a few more photos (looks worse in person). The front edges don't follow the contour of the jeep at all, and one side is jagged and warped. There's a big gap on both sides. Also, there is one extra hole per side on the top near the support brackets that serve no purpose. But they do add to the overall trashy appearance. One of my liners split while I was pushing in a push rivet. The holes are so far off from being accurate that it's almost funny. Is this some kind of sick joke? I'll take photos of the rear liners later, but there's lot's of hardware missing because the hole just don't come near to lining up. What a truly huge disappointment... especially after waiting almost a year for the "engineers" to design these beauties.

I sent a PM to the Rugged Ridge vendor, so hopefully they can help.
