Splash/mud gaurds

Anyone who has installed mud guards, do the rear tires have to come off (assuming fronts do not).

Installed them last week, all tires remain on the Jeep but you will need a poly rivet gun

Mine came with phillips screws.

You do not need to remove tires. I did all four wheel wells. I purchased a Riveter Kit from Harbor Freight and it worked great.

Do the rivets go into factory holes on the fender or is drilling needed? Wait... New name for my Firecracker Red JLU.... Rosie the Riveter!

Both. For the front splash guards, you need drill a 1/4" hole inside the wheel well. On the rear splash guards, you need to drill two holes. Very easy mod. I highly recommend that rivet tool.

Speaking of which, I bought the mud guards and for the heck of it, ceramic coated them. Have to do the inside part tonight. Saw the trick on a website. I wanted to see if it ruined the appearance. It looks good, nice and dark, not too glossy. I think I will put a few coats on them and probably coat all the plastic trim on the Jeep once it comes in, sick of having the plastic look like crap after a few years. I used some stuff called amour shield, a couple detailing websites recommended it. I also coated some 15 yr old trim on my PT, surprised me, blackened it up just like new and gave a semi gloss appearance.
