Smittybilt Fender Flares

Quick delivery. Good quality product. Installation instructions and hardware all there. Took less than 1 hour to install both RH and LH rear fender flares.

Installed rear fender only so far - used fender washers on o/s to reinforce the plastic cap nut that is to keep the fender from tearing off body. The washers bend nicely with groove shape and painted black blends in fine. The bad - some of the OEM bolts are pressure fit and you have to pop them out. Next, the front bolt is accessible by a 2 " drain hole for the nut. I used dbl side tape to hold the nut to finger tip, but tough to match up as fender holes not aligned to flare. You should start front to back. Next, 2nd hole back used a stainless steel screw as existing hole was too small. Definitely resist tightening bolts until all aligned. otherwise, was easy install under an hour R&R time.

Look great on my TJ and look awesome when painted to match top. front fenders go on very easy but rear ones are harder to install. When you install the rear flares they sit lower than stock ones so you can see the outline of the old stock fender flares.

FRONT FIT PRETTY GOOD, I USED LARGER WASHERS, BUT THE REAR SET LOWER THEN THE FACTORY FLARES SO YOU COULD SEE WHERE THE OLD FLARE WAS IN THE PAINT AND DOES NOT MATCH UP TO THE DIAMOND PLATE THAT IS ON THE CORNERS AND LOWER ROCKERS
