Artec Industries Inner Fenders for JL

[Gadgetguru]

Cut-out or no cut-out, that is the question. Lift kit, but otherwise stock suspension (no fancy reservoir shocks or anything). Which one?

You will want the cutout variation . the non cutout is more for a builder who will be adding coilover towers and coilovers

Definitely interested in these. Like them the best of the inner fenders I've seen. Most of the others stamp their initials in it. I like your more subtle approach, especially the freedom version.

Question, what do you recommend in terms of painting? I mean, do we need to get like POR 15? Or is touch up paint enough? Clear coat? Was thinking of painting PRC (firecracker red) for a bit of accent on my black JLUR. Powdercoat is a nice option, but I couldn't do that myself, and it's more subdued.

Also, did you find any rubbing with the 37s you tested? I want to get to those, but I'm not quite ready to do the lift, so I've been holding off. If I could run them with these at least for a while, that'd be cool!

I am running 37s with no lift. I put the front inners in a couple months ago and had an occasional light rub at full left. I was running those 37s on the stock wheels with no spacers though. I just got my new wheels this weekend and with the backspacing pushing the wheels out just a bit there is no rubbing at all. Also in process of installing the rear inners finally.

Here is some pictures:

Here is a pdf of the instructions so you know what you are getting into http://www.artecindustries.com/assets/images/Company/documents/JL5111_Install_Instructions.pdf

Artec I just got my front inners and will be doing rears as well. Do you guys have any more pics of the install process other than the included instructions? Also what size bolts did you use to replace the fender clips, did you need to nutcert?

Got them on, but the install was difficult. I’m still missing the brackets. The directions are slightly vague lol .

@4LowPhoto, you should do a YouTube install vid.

Looks like a few bolts? Did you get them powder coated?

Thank you! This video saved me more headache. The instructions from Artec are terrible, very vague. Was going crazy trying to figure out how to install the body mount bracket because I was trying to put it on the actual body mount bolt that the one at the top of that bracket.

Same here, I did my jeep in the dark and was very frustrated, so I did the video on my buddies after having already installed a set with headache. lol

I wish someone made one for the rear installation. Driver side is kicking my ass haha
