Considering the weight of the Jeep and how it got there, I say even if the sheetmetal delfected by a few centimeters without completely bending then....wow!

that's cool and all but, is there a chance you could redo the shot without the fender being propped up by the front tire? i mean, the tire IS what is ultimately holding up all the weight. don't get me wrong, i like these fenders a lot but this is hardly what i would consider a strength test.

For a true strength test you would probably have to replace the spring with a solid rod then do the Jeep hump test over again.

I think you are right in regards to what the final resting image shows. I think these pics show more so though the fact that the flares (and surrounding sheetmetal) took the initial weight of the other Jeep climbing up.

You are assuming that the tire was able to climb onto the fender. That's got to be at least a 5 to 6 inch gap with little to no traction and I find that hard to believe. Maybe I'm wrong but if I am I'd like to see how it was done. Still like them a lot but again these pictures hardly demonstrate a strength test. Maybe a video of how it was done would help.

Again just my thoughts and opinions, a video would definitely help to clarify
