How to Install a DV8 Off-Road Aluminum Inner Fender on your 2007-2017 Jeep Wrangler JK

Installation Time

1 hours

Tools Required
  • 7/64th Allen Key for screws
  • 3/8” wrench or socket & ratchet
  • Drill with 7/32nds drill bit (rears only)
  • Punch or scribe to mark for drilling (rears only)

HARDWARE KIT: 

A- Front liner arms w/ (long) screws x 2ea.
B– Front liner screws (medium length) x 4
C– Front liner mesh screen screws (shortest) and lock nuts x 10 ea.
D– Rear liner screws and lock nuts ( packaged separately ) x 10 ea.
E– Rubber strip x 1

*Special Note: You will need to save and re-use the 8 factory 10mm bolts that held the factory liners in the front.


1) Remove the factory fender/liner assembly by unscrewing all 10mm bolts from the liner area. Remove the push-in rivets on the lower portion of liner to release it from the frame. Lift up on the fenders to separate from the snap-in clips on the body.


2) To assemble the liners, start by installing the grill behind the DV8 logo using the shortest screws with the locking nuts (C) supplied in the hardware kit. 


3) Next attach the two halves together with the two allen screws supplied with the hardware (B). The “DV8” side should be on top.


4) Attach the supplied arm (A) on the back of the hole closest to the firewall of the Jeep. Let It hang loosely. This arm will catch and secure on firewall.


5) Place the liners in the fender location. You will use the factory hardware to attach to the Jeep at the four locations indicated by arrows. Cut and use the supplied adhesive rubber strip ( E ) to dampen any noise made from metal on metal contact if needed.


6) Once the inner fenders are aligned in the proper position, install with the factory hardware to secure inner fender. Tighten the screw near the fire wall while helping the arm to make contact with fire wall


7) REARS : If necessary, jack up the Jeep from a safe place other than the axle to give yourself more room. Release the fender / liner combo by removing the push-in rivets from inside fender well and pulling upward on the fender to disconnect from snap-in clips. 


8) Install the new DV8 inner fender by flexing the liner and manipulating it in the opening. From there, a little force is needed to snap in place. Mark the 5 locations to drill with punch or marker. Than remove liner and proceed to next step.


9) Proceed drilling locations (7/32nds) for the supplied screws and lock nuts ( D ) *DRIVERS SIDE USE CAUTION HAVE SOMEONE HELP KEEP FUEL RELATED HOSES CLEAR FROM PUNTURE. 


10) re-insert new liner and feed screws through. Use the wrench to hold nut in place. 


11) You can access two points under the body. And the three point inside the cab by pulling back the carpet.


You’re all done! Tip: Be creative, you can easily customize these to match your color scheme.
