Blackout window kit and Artec inner fenders installed JKUR

[spartancrating1]

Just got finished installing these and I'm pretty happy. The Artec inner fenders were relatively easy and straightforward to install but the Blackout kits were a pain in the ass. I figured they would drop in once I had the windows in the hardtop out but that wasnt the case. I had to do quite a bit of grinding and fitting to get them to sit right. Also the 5mm hex head bolts supplied were garbage and a number of them stripped out. I replaced them with much stronger bolts and finally got them in. Now with my 72 hour emergency Rotopax mounted where my hardtop windows were I installed 2 more 2 gallon Rotopax gas tanks on the tire carrier. That brings my reserve fuel carrying capacity to an extra 12 gallons which I'm pretty stoked about. Let me know what you think.

Poor Jeep.

Why did the blackout kit require so much fitting and grinding?

Good question. Rebel Offroad didnt have an answer or solution for me either. I have a stock hardtop and apparently this is "the first" time they have heard of a problem like this. I dont buy that but whatever it is what it is.

Off topic, how many miles do you have on those pro comp tires?

 

[spartancrating1]

Around 25k on the tires. I like them because there isnt alot of road noise for a mud terrain.

I like the look and placement of those blackout kits.

Thanks I like how they turned out as well. It's one of those rare mods you dont see around very often.
