I think poison spyders are the best looking best fitting ones... they are only out of 1/8th but mold to the body perfectly.

Instal was easy, no cutting
Didn't use the nutserts cause we didn't have a big enough rivet gun so we just used nuts and bolts
Really happy about keeping the stock lights didn't have the dough at the time for lights too
And they have taken several hits very hard, very solid

I like the Overkill concept, the flush round lights just remind me of old cj's. I do agree that it should be riveted for a cleaner look.

Homemade Rear bumper and corners. The rear bumper is about to be redone to have less hanging off.

Whats the purpose for corner guards? Are they just to look good? I know they would prevent a dent if you hit the cornet, but it's not like you would be taking them off anyway thanks to the drill holes. Wouldn't you be just as well off waiting until you damage something and then covering it up with corner guards?

I'm not bashing. I love the look of them. I'm just not seeing the reason for them.

ive whacked my corners a bunch since i put them on....cheaper to add corners then pay a body shop for repair...if you wait sometimes you lose your lights and or license plate. its whatevers within your budget

I have the Smittybilt XRC with a Rugged Ridge jack bracket. Works and looks great!

Where I wheel you need them. The trails are tight and there are trees everywhere. What you can't see in this pic is the stump under my inner fender flare, and right after this pic was taken the stump hit my corner guard. The fix was easy as a 3 minutes with a spray can. If I didn't have a corner guard, it would have been bad body damage and cost alot more to look better than a 3 dollar can of paint.

Three broken taillights, two license plate brackets. I never should've even wasted my money replacing that stuff, but its ok because now my ORO light and license relocate bracket is on order. It's real easy to get corner damage on a lot of the trails here in the northeast, very tight trails, and if you have a stick like me, sometimes you do rock backwards into shit. I'm not 100% on getting these yet, but I think the PSC ones may get my vote so far...but damn those river raider ones look awesome Plus I like that the RR ones come in the smaller size for just about $360.
