The fenders.
I went with Metalcloak Overland fenders. I chose the Metalcloak fenders because I liked the way they attach to the body, they retain the functionality of the stock fender lights and the small details. The packing of the fenders was impressive. They were very well packed and protected.
Front fenders
No rocket surgery here...disconnect the wire harness plug for the lights, pull off the stock fenders, take the wire harness from them and add the new LED lights to the stock harness per the instructions and bolt up the new fenders.
Mounting them means you must have a certain comfort level with taking a drill to your Jeep. Most of the holes below were opened up to 3/8 for the hardware (stainless). Three are opened up fro the rivnut. A basic rivnut tool is included with the hardware. I do have a proper tool fro them and that makes life very easy...I am workign to use a combination of an Ace Engineering inner fender and some of the stock liner. Results are TBD.
Rear fenders
Disassembly is easier for on the rear fenders...the trail helped me do most of the removal...
I was able to use a portion of the stock fender liner to help protect the various plugs and hoses from being directly assaulted buy debris coming from the tires.
Again lots of holes need to be opened up and there are many more rivnuts on the rear.
