Reviews for Smittybilt 76837 XRC Fender Flares in Black for 07-18 Jeep Wrangler JK
These flare are perfect for the look that I was searching for. The quality is there. They're solid steel and mounted perfectly. At this price range, there is no alternative. Love smittybilt products and am thoroughly satisfied with Quadratech. The shipping was extremely fast and free.
Great quality and very straightforward install. However, I had to use a drill on rears to pre-drill the holes for self tapping screws in order not to bend the fender itself while trying to go through it with a screw.
I definitely recommend this product!
one of the best investments for the price makes the lift look a lot higher and more clearance to flex and climb!!!
Work great and way cheaper than others. I decided against sheet metal screws in the rear and instead used rivnuts. Couldn't be happier. Can't believe I almost 1000$ on a different set. These are NOT armor like others however.
Fenders look great. Some of the bolts are in a pain in the assignment in the front to fenders, other than that there pretty easy
I got these cause I damaged my OEM fenders out on the trail. I didn't want to spend a ton, but I wanted to stop the damage on my OEM fenders. I was pleasantly surprised that they went on rather easy. All the holes lined up reasonably well, and I now had fenders that are easy to wind around obstacles on narrow trails. I have had them now almost 2 years, and so far have only had very slight damage that was very easy to fix, and touch up paint. I do wish they would offer these in either the crinkle paint surface, (only option) or smooth surface offered as an option. The OEM inner fender mating is a bit tricky, and their instructions don't really give much advice with it. I used the OEM inner fenders on the front, and deleted them on the rear. For the price I am very pleased. Since buying these I have been learning a lot more about fabrication and welding. I plan on using these as a template to build a set of tube style fenders out of heavier duty material.
Mine has spots of rust so I’m going to have to buy a new set and spray them which I didn’t do to the first set(didn’t think I had to) they look nice other than that!
These are good quality flares, easy to put on. I have 1.25" wheel spacers and 35x12.5 mud tires though and these fenders are narrow to the point where I can't see out of my windows after 15 minutes of dirt road driving, let alone heavy mudding. Not knocking the product, but I'm going to have to replace these with some wider flares, and want others to consider before purchasing these.
Simple install. Hardest thing was removing the stock fenders.
Flares look great. I wanted something simple and streamlined and these fit the bill. Install wasn't too bad, I suggest using a box end wrench to hold the nut in place on the upper bolts in the front and tighten the front and back bolts first to help everything line up. Self tapping screws going into the tub in the rear went in easy and hold tight. I also recommend having some touch up paint on hand, I found a few spots where the OEM plastic flares rubbed the paint away, so i touched those up while I had the fenders off.
