Fatmat is a lot of cheaper and people seem pretty happy with it. If I could have obtained a sample of it, I might have bought it instead of the Stinger. The Stinger product is excellent though.

Also, it took me 20 hours or so to do the install. I could have saved some time by not putting aluminum tape over the exposed edges or stuffing this crap into the insides of the doors. Basically, the detail work added a lot of time.

Now I think I will focus on getting the jeep nicer while my axles get put together, I ordered my chromoly shafts today but I still need new hubs, brakes, alloy axle tube seals, and my steering.
