Fender Flares for a JKU, which ones????

I'm planning to get some fender flares for my hemi JKU. I'm partial to the Poison Spyder Customs Crusher Flares. I like the extra bracing and they always seem to put out a good quality product.

Tell me what you prefer and why. I'll add other items to the poll on request.

I like my cut stock fenders. You can crush them and they snap back. you can buy those plastic fasteners for a couple bucks if you rip off a fender.

And they are cheap.

Glad to see you remembered the bacon option

For looks, my vote goes to the PSC's.

But I tend to think like jdl does- stockers bend, and worst case tear off. Steel fenders are going to transfer damage to the panel.

I've been kicking around the idea of cutting the stock flares but I'm not sure. I guess I could cut them and if I don't like it I could always buy the steelies.

X2, this is what I would do. I like the looks of River Raider ones too, and Kenny has great products.

I forgot about the fender flares that terrahawk is running. I'm pretty sure they're from crossed up off road.

They are, but I want them, so I didn't want to mention them. You already have a Hemi!!!

The Crossed Up flares can be made almost anyway you want them. Just call Mike, tell him what you would like and he can make it happen.

Other than those, River Raider is probably better than PSC due to fitment issues on the latter.

You probably aren't interested but I came across these over on JKF: http://ruggedridgeoffroad.com/blog/high-clearance-all-terrain-flat-fender-flares-for-2007-10-jk-jeep-wrangler. Depending on the price, I would maybe do this since it would be a lot more professional looking than any stock fender chop I could do. I think JK_JOE needs to start selling stock chops like his!

EDIT: There's a thread over there in the Sponsoring Manufacturer and Vendor Forum about these.

Cool. I haven't seen those before.


Joe - as I said over at John's house I really like your fender chop. Are there pics posted of your fender chop?

I think Joe needs to do a write-up, although it could be hard post-facto! I have Joe's old front bumper, ordered his same rear bumper, want to copy his fender chop...I am one step away from being a stalker!

IMHO- they look like stock fenders chopped. Not sure why anyone would spend the money when they can just cut their stocker fenders for the same look, at zero cost.

I took a look at them and I agree.

I REALLY like the idea of keeping $1000 in my pocket.

They are basically advertising them as a stock chop without the hassell. I would only consider this if they were in the $150 range (because I have no skills!). I think they are going to go for around $300 so I will not be interested.

I like the gatorhyde that comes on the RROR setup and you cannot go wrong when working with Kenny.

The PSC are tougher than woodpecker lips, I think that they are aware of their fitment issues. I understand that they went of the 3D cad from Jeep which stated that the 2dr and 4dr were the same measurements and it turns out that there are subtle differences on the flares. I have seen people standing on and Jeeps parked on the PSC flares..... hard to argue with that.

I went with the xenons on cost alone, might upgrade later but have no complaints at all.

to me it is a tie with RROR and PSC - I wouldn't buy shit from GenR so I voted for bacon!

This was the original cut, I have since then cut the front fenders above the side marker light and added a 3/4" LED marker light.

Thanks Joe! I didn't see that before. I will probably need a little more trimmed than what you did. My new wheels are 3.5" backspacing with a 37x12.5 tire. They will stick out more than my 35" already did and I had some rubbing with those. I guess I'll install them and see how much I can get away with.
