This is part one of three in the installation of the Smittybilt XRC fender flares for a JK or JKU Jeep Wrangler. I got these from Extreme Terrain, and they fit my needs - Low cost, lots of clearance!

Part one covers the removal of the factory JK front fender flares, and subsequent installation of the Smittybilt flares.

Part two covers the removal of the factory JK rear fender flares, and the subsequent installation of the Smittybilt flares.

Part three covers the re-installation of the front factory fender liners...after a little cutting and creativity.

  1. I love shorter fenders, the issue I have is my state requires that my fenders cover up to the outside of the tire. Awesome video! Where did you earn you Jeep Badge of Honor?

  5. Did you leave the metal support bracket on the front fender, or end up chopping it off? I just got my fenders in and am installing this weekend. Your video is by far the best help I've seen. Thanks!

  7. Bad Ass and informative video.  I have now watched all three of the fender flare videos.  You made my project look so easy.  Can't wait to install mine.  (XRC should post these on their website and pay you).  Thanks again.  Andy  (ps the comments on video #3.....the hater "makes it look cheap"...what a jack ass).  Of course it is cheap is that not what we all want to get a project done with the least cash out of pocket?  Why did he watch the video? Because he did not want to "pay" someone to do it for him.  Hello.....cheap

  9. Great video! What lightbar and size do you have on the bumper? I have the same bumper and really like the look of that size one.

  10. what is the lightbar that u have on the front on the barricade bumper, i just got the same bumper and I want to put a light bar there instead of a couple of small individual lights but I don't know what to put on there. I don't want one that is really small, yours looks good

  13. What kind of tires are you running? Are they road smooth? I am currently running nitto terra grappler MT and they are horrible on the road, looking to make a change.

  19. Do you think it would be a good idea to put some kind of gasket material between the flare and the body?

  20. i feel like there should be a rubber shimmy/spacer inbetween the flare and the fender... im thinking about grabbing these fenders too. especially after having a tree rip off my stock flares while rock crawling today, love how cheap they are and how they look.

  21. Where'd you get the flag stickers?

    ReplyDelete
  22. What if you wanted the stock fenders put back on, is that possible?
