People are always leaning on my fenders
So I may have an unwarranted fear of saggy fenders, but when I got my 09 JKUR used, one of the flares was sagging bad. Easy fix; the dealer had it straight in 10 minutes. Why is it that everyone that stands near my Jeep wants to lean thier a$$ on my front flares? Even good friends will do it when we are standing around talking. I may or may not change them out, but if I do it may be steel flares for the people I know wanting to put thier behind on my fenders.
PS: I feel like a arse when I ask them to get off even though I know I shouldn't.

First u should kick them in the dick, then Maybe buy a box of fender clips from the dealer, I think u can get them on eBay also. Or Maybe use self tapping screws and be done with it

When a couple folks are hanging around by a car talking somebody inevitably leans on it.. With a jeep where else are you going to lean? The rear bumper has a tire in the way, and the front bumper usually had bug's and road crap all over it... Fenders are it.
I've never seen them sag, I replaced mine with after markets and they seem to hold together better than the stocks did though. If you are worried about it you can add a few clip bolts and screws from the stock fender "Inner Structure" (Not sure what the technical term for that is) to the Wheel well liner, that's really what provides the "Top Down" support for the stock fender.

extra clearance for bigger tires and people can lean all they want without sagging.

Well at least I'm not alone. I figured that would be the case.
I kind of like the stock fenders, but maybe I need to keep them either muddy and dirty or slathered in black magic (that greasy armorall stuff).
