SmittyBilt XRC FENDER FLARE KIT 4PC - SB76837

They look great on my Jeep Rubicon! Very well made, great value!

VALUE:These are easily the best bang for your buck out there when it comes to fender flares! I got these on sale for $200, and then turned around and sold my stock fender flares for $250! I mean come on you can’t beat that!QUALITY:These jokers are SOLID! Great textured powder coating, solid steel, not flimsy! I’ve only had them on for a month, so time will tell if the coating holds up but I have no reason to think it won’t.CLEARANCE:As you can see from the pics, they added a good bit of clearance. My 33x12.5s we’re rubbing my stock fender flares BAD every time I went off-road or even hit bumps in the road. Now they fit with no issue! I plan to add 35s soon, and thanks to these fenders, will probably only have to do a 2” lift! If you don’t plan on off-roading, you could run 35s on your JK with just these fenders and no lift!PACKAGING:Smittybilt did a great job ensuring these get to you with no issues. They taped foam around each of the fender flares, and then put a block of foam in the box to make sure they don’t move around and get scratched. Mine arrived in perfect condition!INSTALL:Pretty straight forward install with only basic tools required. I would recommend watching a YouTube video though because the instructions that come with it aren’t very helpful. The hardest part was installing the bolts on the front fender flares furthest to the back. Not much room for my hands to squeeze back behind and in there to get the parts where they needed to be. Other than that it was very simple!

Wow! I love the new look of my Jeep JK Rubicon with these all metal fenders from Smittybilt! I also love the sense of accomplishment of doing this installation myself. If you're new to Jeeps or have been a Jeeper for a long time, you may have heard some mixed reviews of Smittybilt products. Speaking just for myself, I've not had a single bad experience with any of the Smittybilt products I've purchased. And these metal fenders are a perfect example. They are awesome! The arrive very well packaged, completely protected from damage during shipping. The are coated with a tough finish and they look amazing just sitting in the box! They do come with instructions...however, I HIGHLY RECCOMEND watching the same "How To" video I watched on YouTube. It was posted by "Overclock3d" (yes, it's a "3" instead of an "e") and the host, "CPO", does an outstanding three-part video an exactly how to remove your factory fenders and exactly how to install these Smittybilt fenders. I watched the video series at least three times and then felt confident tackling this project on my own. HINT #1: I "painted" my rear inner fender wells with black PlastiDip and they look awesome (see photo). HINT #2: When cutting your front fender liners for re-using after installing your Smittybilt fenders, watch the video by "Overclock3d" VERY VERY carefully. I did and still cut my front inner fender liners incorrectly! No biggie and nothing some Gorilla tape didn't solve! But just be aware of where you are cutting. HINT #3: I WAS going to put a 2" lift on my Jeep very soon... But with these new fenders, it sort of looks like it already has a small lift! Pretty amazing. For now, I may just put some 33" tires on it and leave the suspension alone!

I like this product, and I like the way it looks on my Jeep. I drive a 2011 4 door JK Unlimited.Removing the factory fender flares was actually quite easy. Everything is pretty forward. They say to remove the turn signal connector before removing the front flare but I found it easier to remove the flare so you can reach where you need to and actually see what you are doing.Installing them was a bit different than expected. On the front flares there is some tight spots. I ended up not using washers because it was too difficult to get the washer and nut where it needed to go. Everything did line up very nicely on the front, it was just a bit more difficult than expected to be. The rears had 2 holes each that needed to be mounted to the body. Those holes did not line up so I had to drill the holes in the Jeep a bit bigger so make it work. The rest is done with self tapping screws on the rears. One thing that is nice about that is the flares come with small pre-drilled holes so you don't have to struggle going through these flares.All in all I love the way this look, it just took more time than expected. I recommend these, just plan on about 2 hours of total install time including removing the factory flares.

These are good, thick steel durable fenders, which have held up to 4.5 Michigan winters. I've had these on almost 5 years now and am starting to see some surface rust. I removed them in the summer, hand-sanded them down, painted them (no primer), then saw rust come through a few weeks later. It's now winter and I will be removing the fenders again and painting them this time with primer added. I'd thought of going back to my stock fenders. but these fenders give the look I want. Hope this helps! UPDATE: Summer 2022. The bolts to these fenders have now rusted to my Jeep, and the screw heads have stripped. I wish I would’ve replaced the Allen wrench heads with the standard hex-head bolts when I had them off last summer. I went ahead and resanded them again and used a rust oleum spray on bed liner, in hopes to prevent rust. It was a long tape job, because I could not remove my front fenders.UPDATE; rust came back A LOT during the winter of 22-23. I can’t wait to take these off and put new fenders on.
