The instructions with the ARB bull bar are great, easy to understand and simple. I got mine on in about 3 hours too, and the hardest part for me was trying to get that little piece of plastic moulding to stick on the cut edge of the fender. I ended up using a waterproof contact cement to get the bugger to stick. Tip: sand the edge of the fender a bit if you're going to put the trim on. Have fun, helps to have another set of hands when lifting the bumper on...Are you loading a winch into it?

I wish the TJM came with better instructions. The instructions were adequate but they should have been much better. They were not clear about tools to be used, which hardware goes where, and how to trim the fender linings. The TJM take about 8-10 hours to install because of the extensive fender trimming and wiring. Fender trimming takes forever if you do it right. The TJM can easily be done by one person.

When I did mine it took about 3 hours max and that was even stopping to have an ice tea or two. Its not hard just take your time. Cutting the fenders is the hardest and my one screw up was caused by my wife! At least I blame it on her!! :wink:
