94k on mine and just got my order in with Wendy. 10 short weeks is nothing compared to my 9+ month wait for the Gobi!

Are all the clips intact? The should just clip back in place. Maybe use a light deadblow hammer to get the proper force needed to clip them in place.Somewhat on the topic of the Tactical rear bumper. I just installed one over the last 2 days.
It mostly went OK, but I have one issue. I am having a big problem getting the rear fender
flairs back on. They were hard coming off (2014 with 79K miles) with a fair amount of crud up
underneath.
Does anyone have a good tip for getting them back on?
Thanks for the response. Tried a deadblow hammer (gently) and with help from my brother we could not get the flairAre all the clips intact? The should just clip back in place. Maybe use a light deadblow hammer to get the proper force needed to clip them in place.
So weird, I’ve installed two T44 bumpers on a couple of my L319’s and the trim hasn’t been an issue.Thanks for the response. Tried a deadblow hammer (gently) and with help from my brother we could not get the flair
into the proper position, curve of the flair matching curve in the fender. Unfortunately in our enthusiastic
attempts we broke a clip, so I am ordering new flairs.
I'm confused. You don't need to order new flares if you broke a clip. Body panel clips are all over ebay or Amazon for about $10. Or do you mean you broke the clip retainer on the plastic flare itself? How'd you do that? Your flares will be fine if it's missing one connection. But I agree, I've had my flares off a few times for various tasks and never had an issue. What you may need to do is place the flare up on the arch and then with a small pic or thin tool, you may need to adjust the clips in their slots so they align with the holes in the body.Thanks for the response.

The molded plastic clips on the flair itself broke. Tried too hard to force it. The retainer fasteners that connect the flair with the body wereI'm confused.

Ah ok, make more sense. New ones are pretty cheap.The molded plastic clips on the flair itself broke. Tried too hard to force it. The retainer fasteners that connect the flair with the body were
beat-up during removal and I have new ones to use on the reinstall. When I pick up the new flairs from the dealer, I will talk with their
body person on tips.
Thanks for all the responses.
