The frame covers are made from Polypropylene mixed with EPDM, which acts as an elastomer, plus a UV protectant. The EPDM is in the PP beads in talc form so that the product has flexibility. PP alone would easily crack or break. This is a formula used in automotive applications like a front fascia (It can bend without breaking).The PP comes in small beads which are forced into the injection mold at a pressure high enough to liquify the plastic. Once it's injected the tool rests long enough for the plastic to solidify and the finished product is removed from the mold. Material is hard plastic like the Mopar style; NOT like the early soft AMC style.

Frame cover install tips & tricks from CBJEEP:

1. Start screws by hand (one side at a time)

2. Use 3/16 self-tapping screws w/ washer

3. Run them in about halfway because you still want them to move, so you can repeat the step 1 process on the other side

4. IT FITS TIGHT (exactly like the factory frame covers) – push cover and roll it over by hand for a seamless fit (press hard)

5. This is right about the point where you realize calling over an extra set of hands might be useful to finish the job

6. Once all (4) of the self-tapping screws are turned in about 50% by hand, you’ll be ready to run them in all the way

Frame cover install tips & tricks from our customers:

1. Loosely screw in both bolts on one side first

2. Then insert a deep well socket (13mm Craftsman 1/4" will do the trick) through the hole above the forward screw slot and into the corresponding frame hole

3. Push down gently until the forward slot allows the screw passage to the frame, then thread the screw in enough to hold

4. There will now be allowance for the remaining screws to all thread in

Actual Box Dimensions:

29.75" x 9.25" x 4.25"
