Didn’t care for how my Boatec fenders and liners were installed. After my Baja trip the driver side was falling off because it was only held by the one bolt under the body, which ripped out. The two factory bolts in the door jam was not used and the liners came off because just self tapers were used and popped off.
So with having today off decided to take it apart and figure out how to make this installed more secure. Found the factory fender has two brackets that is riveted on. I debated about drilling them out and reuse them but wasn’t sure how close the brackets would fit on the Boatecs. Purchased a Rivet gun and some aluminum and decided to tackle this project. Only got one side done but it was a learning process so hopefully the passenger side next week will go faster.
Lesson learned, try to do shit yourself if you want it done right. I do understand why a shop would not normally install the brackets because of the time involved and some customers might not want to pay but think a choice of type of install would of been nice.

Took the Santa outfit off. Finally got my svc Baja bumper on. Super easy but time consuming install. Had to mod and fabricate brackets for the intercooler. That was the hardest part. Hated cutting the frame but it’s done now and I love it. Can always weld the stock horns back on if needed.

Could be a GEN2 dash/rear mirror conversion GEN1 project. Steering wheel has been known to happen
