I say you do, I bought my jk in April 2011 and put a different set of fenders on.....and they broke..... so i put another set on...they too broke.....
These XRC fenders are not flimsy, cheep feeling at all. Some people worry about if they are legal, pffffft..... I'm okay with putting a rubber extension on and still having a SOLID set of fenders. I was out wheeling today after work and hit a tree with one of my fronts. Not a ding on the fender and the tree was left crying... This is only my modest opinion but if you are going to spend the money and time installing aftermarket fenders, you might as well only do it once.
Happy wheeling to all. Tom

All said and done, to do both the front and the rear took me about 12-13 hours... (in my driveway) I would not try to do these again by myself. Four hands would have made it go a lot faster...That being said. I am 100% satisfied with these, solid as a rock.

I'm running 35s with a RC 3.5" lift. I love these fenders but they were a PIA to put on. I had trouble with some of the nutcerts pulling out of the body. Would have been much easier with a rivet nut gun. Overall I am happy with how they turned out.
