Default Advanced Metal Fab Yeti Panels

Anyone use these yet? Opinions?

Wanting to know if the side panels can mount on the inside, similar to the Carter Fab panels.

Aluminum Axial Yeti Hood | eBay

Ended up getting a full set and the tire carrier.



I'll report back once they arrive.

I have a set of these waiting to be installed. The quality is superb. The side panels cannot be mounted on the inside. Maybe with a little modification.

Appears the front of the panel is bent inwards, be nice to mount them inside... I messaged him on eBay to see, either way with some paint these should look awsome! I'm ordering some

I may have to get a set of these too. Been waiting too long now for Carter to get theirs back in stock. I have a Carter roof, but the fitment kinda sucks.

Mounted up the panels the other night. So far fitment was good. The roof panel didn't live up 100% but it was manageable. Only part I don't like is the rear panel. It blocks the rear body clips for the cage. If you flip it upside down you can get the clips in.





More pics to come mounted up.

Carter Fab won't ship to canada? That sucks, maybe I can get the LHS to carry some of his product for us Canadian folks.

I like mine. They fit perfectly and are great quality. I think you could make the side panels fit on the inside without too much trouble.

What paint did you use? I just received mine today and wanted to paint stripes.

I used Tamiya spray over an etching primer. I think almost any paint would be OK over a good etching primer.

Ended up mounting the sides on the inside. Holes line up well. Just had to bend the corners a bit.
