Just did front install. Pretty easy.
It might have saved a bit of time to use the qr code for pdf instructions that came with the flaps -- I only watched the video on their website. I wasn't sure how to remove the 6 plastic factory plugs (their video doesn't discuss it -- must have assumed I was smarter than I am!). In any case, it turned out to be easy with 2 different width flathead screw drivers and needle nose pliers to pull them out. I think the pdf said so.
The hardest part was getting the third clip (per side) on and in place -- it is very tight. I ended up (with second one) spreading the clip open a bit with the screwdriver to then make it easier to push it on -- I think it might have helped (later saw that was suggested in the pdf). Then, I used the screwdriver, tapped by a small hammer, to get it in place, i.e., the holes lined up.
I see that, when the flaps are removed, the third screw can be used to keep things attached to some degree (doing the work of stock pin 3). The other two spots will be open unless I get a nut to fit the thumb screws (or a separate nut/bolt set) -- It may not matter much to have holes 1 and 2 re-secured -- thoughts?

giving an after Moab trip update.....these are awesome off and on the trail....on the way to Moab came across two cattle drives...if you have never been behind a cattle drive you won't understand but if you have then you will....no cow shit on the sides, my buddy who has Rokblokz but elected not to install them before the trip was covered....on the trail they did not pose any issues on Fins and things, Poison SPider, Top of the world or Elephant hill. I was impressed. coming back had some big rain and sides of the jeep stayed clean...

At least on my 23 JT Mojave and 24 JLUR, I had to get under the vehicle so that I could see the backside of the area the clip goes onto. The clip is too long for it to fully fit on the 23/24 models when directly pushed on horizontally as shown in the instructions. It’s necessary to install them at a 45 degree angle. Even better, only push them over the metal bracket behind the plastic liner. It still stays on securely, and the plastic is still held in place by the screw with or without the flap.
