I have a power washer (and foam cannon) but actually prefer a hand wash (if enough time)!
The places I can go with this..........

After about 9 months, I finally got up the patience to install the ACE inner fender liners. No gaudy logo... as a matter of fact...no logo...just the way I like it. They were initially a pain in the ass, but ACE finally put up an installation video. The paper instructions weren't very helpful, but in hindsight after seeing the video, only my patience was missing.

Rear shocks done as well to complete the set. My thanks to John A at @OffRoadWarehouse for the assist. Compared to the front pair, I was shocked (tee-hee) at how easy getting the rears on was. Unlike the fronts, I needed a 1/4" washer on the lower bushing since it was slightly thinner than the stock. I didn't want to stress the weld and it fit more snugly.

I listened to you, @Bricazo … 6 feels pretty silky smooth on the stabilizer. Thanks again for the hint. Feeling pretty Foxy. That's all, folks.

Disclaimer: I suck and don't feel like going through the rest of this thread to see if anyone else already asked this...

Is there anyplace where the fender liners and outer fender does not match up? Is there body paint showing through? I really want liners without a logo, but the giant gaps I keep seeing are making my eye twitch.

Had 315 ko2's mounted and balanced on the factory wheels. Other than sitting noticeably higher, both in the seat and getting in/out, she drives just as great as with the stock 285's. Also, it feels more planted than before. Its the first functional mod done so far. I wanted to stay stock for the first 10,000 shake down miles. Knock on wood, she hasn't had a single hiccup.

I ordered a Dynatrac Endurosport lift from Northridge 4x4 and it is being delivered tomorrow by brown santa, but I'm gonna wait a short bit before I install it. As part of project beef up, I also ordered the Synergy control arms and rear track bar but it looks like it may take a few weeks for them to get to the vendor. I'm also gonna pull the trigger on the steersmarts track bar, drag link, tie rod, and the fox ts stabilizer.

Cheers ladies and gents!

Replaced the stock KM2s with some Rubicon take-off KO2s yesterday -- spent a couple hours today cleaning all 10 tires :( Visually, not much difference (KM2s on top; KO2s on bottom), but the noise difference is night and day! So far, so good. If anybody is interested in the KM2s, check out my post in the Member Marketplace....

Hi, Michelle (welcome back!). The fenders don't cover much of anything underneath. You can see what's exposed here in the wheel well, and after some messy & muddy wheeling this past weekend, this here is the result after a quick cleaning. I don't like all the exposed bitty bits all that much, but I like the look of the inners. I plan to cut up the stock liners & fit them underneath to keep all the dirt out.

These are the only liners I've seen that don't have a giant, gaudy logo. I'm waiting on their rears to be available. I'm sure there are some that cover much more than these. Metalcloak makes a decent pair (logo dead center), and AAL makes a nice pair that covers up a little more. I like them and they look great, but I don't care for the visible logo.

Thank you for the pictures. The logos drive me insane too. Unless someone is sponsoring my Jeep (which isn't going to happen), I don't want to be a billboard. I considered Skull Krushers, but I can't find real world pictures of their fender liners on a JL.

Those seem to have more pictures than logos, and all I've seen are basic stock photos. They have more material, but they ain't gonna cover much of anything inside the top of the well.

I went with artec because of the quality of their products and coverage. I don’t mind the gigantic A stamped on it, which I don’t understand considering my ocd....:) I’m considering going with Freedom edition when I get the fronts.......:captain:.

Well, today I finally got the parts for my new 2018 JLUS so I:
Installed the 1 5/8 wheel spacers
Installed Smittybilt SRC Gen2 Full front bumper
Installed Smittybilt XRC 9500 Winch
Rough Country Spare Tire lift

Previously before picking it up at the dealer:
2" Mopar lift
34.2 Michelen's put on stock rims
Trailer hitch and harness
Aux switches put in
Mopar Flag hood decal

Then took it in this afternoon to the detailer and am having it ceramic coated. :)

It's got 55 miles on it now. Can't wait to do some driving/off-roading.

Still to come:
Rock sliders with removable steps (for my lovely bride of 43 years)
Rear M1 bumper
D rings for front bumper
De-badging
Rough Country Tailgate stabilizer (on order)

That's all for now. :)
