Reviews for Smittybilt 76880 XRC Armor Front Fenders for 07-18 Jeep Wrangler JK
Looks.
These fit very well and look mean, they did what I wanted them to do. I added a side marker LED light since my jeep had the lit front side lights, got them from a truck stop. I re-used the stock inner liner because these come with nothing, but I knew that going in.
There are many more pitfalls that the institutions do not cover at all. Number one, the drilling out the cowl side covers and the fact that the hardware that's provided will not work. Also, the fact that you can do damage to the parts that you need to use again. If you don't have the talent to correct these issues then you won't be able to fit them to the vehicle properly. Number two, the nutcert issue. This is not a easy installation. I did fine with it, but if you are not inclined, you will dent your jeep, or risk not having a very good mounting surface.
I do need to point out the excellent quality and fit. Very very nice fit.
Very difficult to instal if you are not very skilled. Had to have a company to put mine off after I could not get them to fit right. A level 2 skill rating seems a little low. But the product is great
not the easiest to install on your own but if you can figure it out they look great recommend buying the nutsert tool as well for the install.
I agree with the other reviews. The installation level should be upped. This was not easy and if it wasn't for having a good friend that loves working on Jeeps and is really good at doing it, I would not have been able to get it done. And I also agree there were some things not covered in the instructions and some provided hardware had to be replaced with out own stuff because they wouldn't work. That lost it a start but other than that, it looks and fits great! Just installed so can't speak on durability but I have a feeling it's going to hold up much better than my stock fenders haha
Nice fit looks good
The welds are terrible and the rear fenders do not line up to the body at all, for the money you pay for them they are not worth it.
