Spent all day yesterday putting on the front fenders. Had to modify the inner fenders and then mount all the accessories onto them. The vacuum setup needed some modification to get it all to fit. Then the ARB compressor wouldn't work. So I had to tear everything apart looking for the issue and it turned out to be the pressure switch was jammed. Whacking it with a wrench a couple times freed it up and it works like a champ now.
Here are a couple pics. Will take some more when I get back. I need to go get some washers and nuts.

Yes, I painted all the armor red. The only item I did different was the inner fenders. I painted them a semi gloss black. Most people associate the metalcloak fenders with their high arched ones. You either love or hate them. These are the overline fenders. I like them more. They give the clearance of a high line kit but it is a much more complete and well designed kit and you don't have to cut the hood.
Started back on the jeep after lunch today and just finished for the day. First I finished up the front end. Had to take a couple pieces off so I could swap some of the stock bolts with the nice button head bolts I got with the kit. The instructions said to use the stock hardware in those places but when I finished I had leftovers so I used them.
Then I added the LED marker lights and turn signals. Changed the blinker to the LED blinker I got from genright. I spent some extra time doing the wiring right. I soldered and heat shrinked all the connections instead of using the little plugs provided.
Then I started on the driver side corner guard. Took a while to get it to fit right by myself. But with some clamps and jacks I got it all done. Tomorrow I should be able to do the other side and get the rear lights installed and wired. Then finish up with the sliders on Tuesday.
