Didnt want to have to cut anything to install them, yet in one review it says they had to cut metal part of jeep. Is this correct?

Tracy, No I had these on my 06 and did not have to cut or trim anything. On the CJ and YJ models you do have to trim some of the body and drill mounting holes. Thank you!

Those ones that were shipped to me did not fit my jeep. It said it was for mine but it was for a different body style code. So I had to go to jeep to buy the right ones. I couldn't get either the company that sold them nor amazon to refund my money and send it back.

I did not have to cut a hole. The plastic below the bumper is already open where the tow hooks go. It is the same plastic piece used on four wheel drives which typically come with tow hooks already installed. My truck is a 2011 Silverado crew cab.

Yeah, the are attached by what looks like two small solder joints, one on each side of each leg, but it looks easy enough to bend and snap off, or even a dremel, or small handsaw could probably cut right through it. a dremel would be the easiest way to go. its only 11$ so its not too big of a loss if it doesnt work out right, but i do a lot of handy things and modifying things myself so in my opinion if i wanted the legs off I would definitely give it a go without hesitation. :) just use a metal file to soften the edges if you do decide to try it out so you dont get hurt on sharp edges.

The pieces are metal and are trim to fit with a hacksaw. Atleast thats how I trimmed them to fit. The gasket can be cut with scissors

They seem sharper because they are new. It comes down to installing correctly and adjusted afterwards. Properly adjusted they cut just fine. Adjusting is the toughest part and I can't really tell you much except to say, keep moving the metal guard out until it doesn't cut into the skin.

I asked my husband and he said the screws were already in the jeep, the visir was just broke and wouldn't stay up. He said he had no problem installing and we had the 05 Jeep Wrangler

I put them on my 02 mustang gt. They had to cut and they had to bend them. For 2 it cost me $160 to get them both done. Welded beats bolting them on.

I had a buddy install it for me and he made no mention of that. It seemed to be fine and much cheaper than getting it at an auto parts store.

Nope. I heard sometimes you have to install shims, but that wasn't my case.

You only have to drill a small hole on the bottom of the plastic trim. No drilling into metal.

I dont have them on my jeep, however by just looking at them I would say no, not without modification.

It's sized for the hole on the jeep, but there's no housing attached to it, so all you have to do is drill the proper pilot holes for the supplied screws.

No you have to trim them yourself I used a very sturdy pair of scissors I have a jeep grand Cherokee after I trimmed them a bit they fit fine whether or not they will fit yours I'm not sure they will trim down to fit almost any car

They have to be removed. Installing the light bar itself is very easy. If you can assemble furniture you should be able to do this yourself. I am not using it for lights so my answer is only for installing the light bar. I plan on eventually using the bar to support some paddle boards when my soft top is on. Be sure to follow the steps regarding putting on painters tape to protect your jeep's paint from any slips.

Id you have the ones that slide into the stock radiator and are held in with the clips then you have to splice the lines into this radiator. I had to splice mine in but since I added an inline transmission cooler it worked out really well. Its way better splicing them in than using the stock Jeep ones.

James, I installed this rails on my wifes jeep a couple of weeks ago. If you do purchase, make sure you pay attention to the mounting brackets (three per side). They are all different. Get extra set of hands. Goes quicker and nothing is better then having your wife work on her own Jeep.
