Hey 4xe fans! New here. I have a 2021 Sahara 4xe, and I really wanted the fender flare extensions. No where could I find a low rise fender solution. I tried an Amazon brand and they did not fit. I came across YOTTO Overland and saw they had a pair. I had bought a 2024 grill from them and loved it so I tried their flair extensions. Here are the results.
They Fit!

Well, to an extent...
The rear fit with no problems and utilize the factory holes. There was a slight gap in the corner, but you'd have to look at it from a certain angle to see it, but from a few feet away, you can't tell. The front I had to drill two or three holes as the holes did not align. But the fender flair shape aligned well, so I didn't have to make any modifications to the fender flare extension. If there were any spots that need support I added a rivet and drilled a new hole.

- There is a small hole in the center of each rivet. Basically takes something that will fit in there and hammer out the pegs. Pegs fallout of the fender at the bottom.
- Use the fastener removal tool or trim tools to remove the rivet. Repeat for each one.
- I used a cloth to wipe the dirt off.
- For the front the first top TWO or three will aline. The rest line em up and, drill, baby, drill!
- Once installed you'll have parts of the rivets sticking out- snap them off with the Rivet tool or cut them with a blade for a clean appearance.
