Default SmittyBilt XRC Body Armor

Im interested in the SmittyBilt XRC front fenders and corner guards. I cant seem to find any dealers selling them. I e-mailed Smittybilt and havent recieved a reply yet. If anyone is using them please let me know your thoughts. And post some pics if you have them!

I saw and felt these in person on a members rig last week. They look and feel quite beefy. He stated that they replace the entire front quarter panel and they also come with a 'half' liner.

Oh, one other thing I noticed was that the two side outlet ports are sealed, theyre just for show.

That's odd, I wonder why SB wouldn't have them on their page? More pictures would be nice.

Thanks for the link, that seems like a fair price. Does anyone have any pics of them on another rig?
I think smittybilt's site said the vents on the side are removable to accommodate a snorkel??

Default I got the fronts

I have the front xrc on my rig right now. They are solid and replace the entire quater panel. I ordered the rear and the flares but they have not been released yet. The ports are removable but I do not see how a snorkel would work at all since the whole is a huge rectangle you would need to drill out the hole.

If you got questions let me know

Dmerk524 - Do you have any pics? They look pretty mean on the green smittybilt jeep but Im not sure if they would look right with a hardtop and all.

I ordered the XRC front and Rear body protection guards in January 2010 at the 4wd parts show in California. I spoke to the Smittybilt rep and he told me that I would have the parts in 3 weeks. 6 months later and I'm still waiting. They must have had issues in production if it is taking this long for them to get the rears out. One of these days
