oEdRoFlat Front & Rear Fender Flares Compatible with 2007-2018 Jeep Wrangler JK & JKU Unlimited, 4 PCS Off-Road Steel Liner Set, Fenders for Jeep JK

I’m into modifying my 2012 JK Jeep and I’m on a budget. I need to balance function, aesthetics and value. I also prefer bolt on products where drilling is not required. These fender liners were and after thought. After replacing the faded factory abs fenders the Jeep just did not look right without fender liners. After searching many different options I chose these. Installation was very easy, fit was prefect. I definitely like the look of it. The only change I’d like to see is a color option on the red circular design.

My fenders arrived yesterday and I had them installed by yesterday evening. When I purchased these I also bought a riv nut tool with a m6 insert. It was $35, not $300 like some other reviewer posted. These fenders are inexpensive flat fenders that allow you to run bigger tires without hitting anything. These are not $600 metalcloak fenders and shouldn't be compared to $600 metalcloaks.These are made well enough. Each fender is two pieces of steel tack welded to each other multiple times. As a future revision I'd appreciate if they had a continuous bead but for the price I understand why they did this. They fit perfectly with no issues whatsoever. A tip, don't screw the screws in all the way until you have all of them started. This will make lining everything up a lot easier.Buy the riv nut tool. Just think of it as an extra $35 cost to run these. There are 38 riv nuts you have to install. I am sure it is possible to install them with the tool that comes with these fenders, but with an actual riv nut tool I was able to install an entire fenders worth of riv nuts in under 5 minutes. This is having never used a riv nut tool before.I didn't buy the inner liners, I just cut the original one to fit and used a combination of bolts and zip ties to hold it in place right now.One concern I saw with these is that the riv nuts mount in the very thin sheet metal on the wrangler, and that if you hit one of these fenders with a rock you might break the sheet metal. This is a valid concern, but I think if I were wheeling in such a way as to smash one of these on a rock I would have invested in other fenders; but if you want, these bolt on. You could always just remove them before wheeling. Its 38 bolts, which would be a pain, but is perfectly doable.Installation took me three hours, having never taken a front fender off a Jeep Wrangler and including installing the original liners back in place.These are great if you have realistic expectations.

No complaints with the product itself BUTBUY A THREADED RIVET TOOLthese reviews aren’t joking when they say the one it comes with is probably the worst tool they’ve ever used. you’ll be spending hours just putting rivets in. i went and bought a proper cheap tool and it took me 20 minutes to do the whole thing.

Worked perfectly on my jeep

Very easy and simple to install with the right tool. I recommend buying a rivet nut tool if you don’t already have one. I used AOBEN 14” nut tool. It will make the installation much easier. They do provide one for you but unfortunately it didn’t work out so well for me.

I love the look of these fenders for the price. I should have read the reviews completely before buying them so I was prepared for what I was getting myself into. I have a 2017 JKU for reference.We started with the rear fenders. It’s honestly harder to get the factory fenders off than it is to put the new ones on. You basically have the rip the plastic cheap fenders off and bust all the little plastic clips out of the rivet holes, it was tedious. After that, we tried to insert the rivets but couldn’t, so I did purchase the rivet gun everyone recommended from Harbor Freight and it worked like a charm. Got to the front ones and there are 4 bolts that need to be removed plus the lights. That also took time. The rivet holes on the front fenders are slightly bigger, so the rivets that were provided slipped right in. But they also didn’t tighten like the rear ones. I did have to put the rivets on the inside part of the fender in order to make them tight, otherwise it wasn’t holding on correctly.Side note: once you take the factory fenders and liners out, you will see all the “guts” of the Jeep. Yes all the wires, suspension, etc. If you don’t like that look, then I wouldn’t recommend these. I wasn’t paying attention to the pictures when I bought these and I was unsure after installation if I really like the look. I’m considering buying liners and seeing if that looks better. Also, your Jeep won’t be protected from splash anymore with these fenders. I went through very minor puddles and I had mud everywhere; they offer zero protection. These are only for looks!

Super easy install really good price. Look much better than the crummy stock that come with it

Liners came very well packaged, undamaged, and of good quality. Happy with my purchase so far. Let me start off by saying that I made this install a WHOLE lot harder than it should have been. LOL#1.) If you have bought the flares to go with these liners, wait to put the flares on until after you have installed the liners. (Mistake #1.) If not, you WILL have to take them back off. I got just a little too excited when the flares came in a week before the liners.#2.) When taking off the factory fender, make sure that you keep the clip that is on the vehicle for that first hole. (Mistake #2). If you don't, I hope you have small hands to get in between the flare and behind the headlight. If not, you are taking out the grill and headlights to get the nut on that first screw. Luckily I have small hands and was able to get it on.Even with having to take the flares back off, it only took me an hour for complete install. I will update this review after I have driven the Jeep a couple of days to see if there are any problems like rubbing.
