shouldn't be too hard, at least changing the mounts. the very front ones seemed to be the hardest for me to swap out (when i was just replacing with oem), but since you don't have a fender liner and all that....

here's the write up i did. i realize you'll probably be doing more than just the mounts (steering extension, etc?)

some people need the steering extension and some dont according to club frontier. all i have to do is the rear bumper and put the extension on the drive shaft hoop. damn does it tire you out when you do it all with hand tools

no doubt! i picked up a 18v impact driver for working on the jeep. it won't loosen -everything-, but it will get most things...

steering issue fixed. okay as for the kit i would say id give it 3 out of 5 stars. they sent me the wrong rear bumper brackets. the directions are vage. they didnt warn about the power steering bottle needing to be lower found that out the hard way. i also had to "adjust" som holes on the brackets. the stuff in the kit is quality and the car looks so much better now. i will post pics later. just to give you an idea. the front bottom highest point on the front fender is 42" to the ground.
