CrawlTek highlines

[SilverBullet]

So I ordered a set of the Crawltek highlines during the Black Friday sale. To my surprise they arrived yesterday on a pallet, can’t complain about that shipping speed. Anyway I unpackaged everything and briefly looked at everything. I didn’t see any directions or parts diagrams. Called up Crawltek to see if I could get some directions sent over via email or something but they didn’t even have any instructions yet since fox just acquired them I guess. I thought this was Crawltek and not savvy lmao. Anyway anybody have any pointers or directions laying around to share that’d be great. How much should I take off the hood to start?

You don't take any off the hood to start. That is done last.

I think the only person on the forum running crawltek's so far is @rasband , they are a great looking fender.

For what its worth--my PS highlines didnt have instructions either. But it was as simple as unbolting everything from the stock fenders, removing the 6 (or maybe 7?) bolts holding the stock fenders in place. Bolting the two new aluminum inner fender pieces together, and attaching them to the new steel PS highlines.

Mine are still wrapped up and in the back of the Jeep. Tagging for any useful info.

Wow, CrawlTek is owned by Fox ? When did this happen, anyone know?

Has been for quite some time. It’s right on their site.

It was news to me, but yes, I see that now.

I probably wouldn’t have noticed except I had to contact them to see if they were going to ship mine. They showed up well before they were able to answer that question.

Which highlines don't really matter, but follow @toximus 's write up:

What sort of useful info do you need? That and the problem with being a twat (not you) is you can't see all the posts that you really should be seeing.

The problem with Fox owning them is they ship them all powder coated now and that never doesn't suck.

I won’t know what I don’t know until I install mine but I do know that sometimes threads provide useful info that I may not have thought to ask for.

Mounting the inner fender at the front using one of the original fender bolt holes to stop it from flopping around.

@mrblaine any idea how heavy these things are, I'd think they wouldn't be too terrible since there isn't much to em, but I'm just curious.

They are not heavy, at all. Not much there.

I think @rasband's build thread had the weights compared to the stock fenders. They don't weigh very much at all.

~21lb, I don't remember what my stock fenders + flares weighed but it felt close all said and done.

My stock fenders with flares were 18lbs each
