I just installed a set of Simply Offroads XJ Body Protection and it was easy to do....
First off this is what the 98XJ looks like with out the panels and after I removed the trim. I used de-natured alcohol to remove the glue, and it was a pain in the ARSE...

Next I used a set of Harbor Freight pinch clamps that I picked up for around $7. I used them to hold the panels in place while I drilled the 3/16" holes and placed the Aluminum rivets.

Do yourself a big favor and pick up a good rivit gun, it will make the job go alot easier. I got this one from Home Depot along with the aluminum rivets.

I went with the longer rivet because of some door body damage I had and wanted to cover up.
