This is part three 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.

holy shit, your videos and explanations are perfect. all your mods are definitely giving me ideas for my own 2015 JKU Rubicon. keep up the great work!
ReplyDeleteSweet man! Just found your channel and sub'd. Another fellow Jeep vlogger from Austin here!
ReplyDeletegreat video man... I gotta do this
ReplyDeleteNice job I'm on the fence between these fender flares and the armor version. Question did you think about putting that section of the liner that you bolted to the fender flare behind the quarter panel or is that not possible to clean up the look?
ReplyDeletedid you reinsall your rear fender liner or bedline it?
ReplyDeleteGreat videos! Got my xrc fenders on today in about 5 hours fender walls cut in and everything. Beats $800 that a local off-roared shop was going to be! Thanks again
ReplyDeletethat big gap in the front liner, along with the zip tied light, just makes the whole thing look cheap.
ReplyDeleteI don't know about mickey mousing everything. I guess Jeep is meant to be a home splice .
ReplyDeleteThanks to your videos, I went with the XRC's and reused my liners. Looks great, and saved me some major coin. Thanks for the videos; your build is almost parallel to what I am doing with my 13 Command Green JKU. Looks great!
ReplyDeleteHey buddy, I commented your look over vid recently about those fender flares. Have you heard of anyone trying to install those or the ebay knockoffs and the flare just completely not fitting or aligning at all? I hate to bother you with this question but I've looked all over and it doesn't seem like others are having this issue, none on forums anyway.
ReplyDeleteThanks!
Scott
Hey thanks for this video! i went a head and purchased these from 4WP for 269 for the entire set, your video made it super easy to install thanks mate!!
ReplyDeletedefinitely a jeep guy doing mods in flip flops hahaha i do the same
ReplyDeleteThanks a ton for the video. I didn't glance at the instructions once.
ReplyDeletethats not xrc fenders
ReplyDeleteAfter all this time, still satisfied with the XRC? I think I am noticing in your later videos that you ended up removing your front liners anyway? True? Did you rhino the rear? Did the rear tap screws hold up?
ReplyDeleteLooking at these for mine worried about getting a ticket for front tire coverage. Have you had any issues getting pulled over?
ReplyDeleteFinally completed my install after your videos. They were a great help. The only inferior part of this inexpensive smittybilt kit were the self tapping screws. A couple broke for me just trying to drill them in. Either way, in the end, I think the only reason for drilling them in would be to limit slight vibration of shutting the rear doors. Ultimately, I'm a happy camper.
ReplyDeleteFinal note; I reused my front liners as well following your pattern. The only difference I made was connecting the rear tab to the lower frame instead of the fender bolt. It looks a little cleaner and is extremely solid.
Thanks for the 3 part series!
I dig the flares, but am not a huge fan of cutting the factory liners and putting them back in. Seems like a big pain in the ass. What is the downside of leaving the liners completely out?
ReplyDeletea razor blade actually cuts it very well you just grave it and snaps off very quick and easy vs that fine tooth saw.
ReplyDeleteThanks for doing this series of video's. I installed the XRC fender flares today. The removal/install was done in under an hour. The installation of the front fender liners took a little more time. I had to stop and watch part three to review the cut. The last bolt on the passenger side was a bi*^h to get the nut and washer on. Thanks again for your efforts to produce quality videos they have been very helpful. BTW can you do a video on your CB set up with antennae mounted on the front bumper? Thanks!
ReplyDeleteMetal cloak or poison spyder.
