That’s awesome, I might get the Artec inner fenders and I don’t want to leave the top part of the fender exposed, I will probably do what you did and trim the stock liner just enough to cover that upper part. Your vid really helped with that idea. Great vid! :)
I just did the same thing with my rear Metalcloak fenders. Have to upload that video. The passenger rear has components tucked up in there as well. Good luck!
No drilling at all. It was easy and didn't take too much time. I like to just sit and listen to music while I work so i don't rush anything. Even today, three years later, the paint has held up perfectly. My red paint is great too! I will say that I have flexed it hard with the 38's on it and it did rub some paint but that is tire issues and bumps, not the product.
They look nice, BUT i keep hearing the install is difficult, parts do NOT line up as they should, makes me hesitant to buy them. They do look like they will let more dirt and water into the engine, but could also provide better engine heat dispursion.
Easy install for me but I am sure there are some who may have trouble. A hole slightly off never bothers me unless it is extremely bad. That said, the dirt and water don't bother me. Water .. I am in AZ so no issues. Dirt ... no more than not having them. Dust gets in no matter what. Cooling ... I will say that these and removing my hood vents when wheeling has my engine 5-10 degrees cooler and I rarely get the "JL fan" on the trail.
Costco TP/PT's. The inner fenders come powder coated black, the screens I painted with Rust-Oleum Red $6 a can at Lowes. Sanded before I painted, 4 coats, let dry in the AZ sun for a full day.
Fair point. TBH I didn't think I wanted to paint them until my kids suggested it. I'd recommend that they be sanded well to scuff them up well so the paint adheres.
@@210gunz I have ZERO rattle but I put a small dot of locktite on the screws to prevent it. I wheel hard and have had a rub on the paint and no sound at all. Tighten it well but don't strip the screw

My jackstands are a TH-cam star now😂
I like the look
And they breathe so that’s gonna help in the summer when it’s 157 degrees ☠️
Did you have to do any drilling?

I am the main driver of the diesel version, can I install it differently from the ordinary version?
No idea, the diesel engine has a different config. Give them a call. I cannot imagine it is too much different tho.
LOL!!! @12:18 I saw your stash of TP and PT. Like the vid. What kind of paint did you use on the screens, and # coats?

You should of shown how to paint them
Fair point. TBH I didn't think I wanted to paint them until my kids suggested it. I'd recommend that they be sanded well to scuff them up well so the paint adheres.
Thanks! Do you feel like you get a lot of rattle from the fender.. I am looking to purchase but am skeptical because of the rattle

Great video but could've done without the obnoxiously loud music
I was new. No more music in any of my videos. :)
Came here to say good job on the liner...terrible choice in music and now I have a headache...ughhhh
