One issue I'll have to deal with, I have already installed 1/4" x 20 nutserts for the previous rear flares. Nemesis uses 5/16" x 18. Hoping 1/4" bolts will have adequate purchase to hold the flares securely. Not looking forward to drilling out 16 nutserts. Will post pics when I get them installed.
And VOILA! Fronts are the Odysseys, which I thought would work best due to our local winters. I ended up just re-using the existing 1/4" x 20 nutserts in the rear rather than risk drilling them out & replacing with the supplied 5/16" x 18s in the kit. Seem to be very solid. The fit & overall quality of these flares is outstanding.

Awesome rig! I don't think there's a better looking tire than the mud grapplers.

Are those in the raw or powdercoated silver?

I would not drill out just get new bolts in 1/4" The hardest thing for me was picking out color. Either the body color or black or do something different. Did something different went with silver and clear coat. I do not think I will ever be satisfied with one color so you may see a different color after banging the Billy rockers up.

Yes, that's what I did. I felt the chance of drilling out 16 rivnuts without issues was too remote. The upper center two on each side are the supplied 5/16" x 18, then I used some stainless 1/4" x 20s flat heads for the countersunk holes, and stainles buttonheads with washers in the same size for the front lower three on each side. No issues mounting them up, piece 'o cake.
