Very nice!!! I plan on putting these on next month along with the LoD shorty! Really like the way the fenders/bumpers look together.

I think "Lil' Nemo" is misnamed. I think it's "Bad A$$ Nemo" now...

The Bushwackers on Lil' Nemo aren't steel, they are a type of plastic. I would think a hard enough hit on steel fenders could cause damage to the tub.

yeah, they are on the pricey side of things but their fit and finish is nicer than stock.

Still, nice JK.
believe it or not, i did pull the OME +40's out and am now just running the lower standard OME HD coils that yield 3" of lift.

as Mskh20 pointed out, the bushwacker flat fenders ARE plastic. i have seen steel fenders hit trees and rocks and cause body damage. heck, i have even seen the harder xenon flares cause body damage too. factory flares are your best bet when it comes to bending out of the way and preventing body damage but, from what i can tell so far, these bushwackers may do a good job of breaking away too.
