Thanks man. I wanted the billy rockers -- the integrated step is a plus, but I found the rocker knockers off craigslist, new & never mounted, already powdercoated, for close to half the cost. Couldn't pass that up. My jeep is TOO clean... looking forward to getting it dirty soon and EJS.

JK, how long did it take for the fenders to get in from Rebel?

3 days I think? Colorado to Los Angeles doesn't take very long.

Finally got my Nemesis via Rebel OffRoad. This is after I finished the test fit & got all the mounting brackets in place, that's why they're bare. Just got them back from the painter yesterday. Final install will be this week or weekend at the latest.
I'm getting the shakes looking at those Nemesis flares!!!

I am very happy with the fit and finish of my Nemesis Industries Notorious Flares (Front and Rear), Titan Tub Armor/Billy Rockers and Front Shock Relocation Brackets. Owner Rob Graft was readily available via email to address all questions. A Marson 325-RN (with 1/4-20 and 5/16-18 Mandrel/Nosepieces) in addition to quality drill bits (I used Chicago Latrobe 550 Cobalts) will make for a smooth install. Preinstall of flares, armor and rockers by myself took a full weekend, while reinstall after PC took a few hours.

Although I'm not a fan of their front/rear bumpers, the Nemesis fenders and rocker/slider are definitely G2G.

The new style monster beadlocks The black accents really help the wheel pop. May have to get mine painted like that.

I've already mounted the Teraflex HD Hinged Carrier (can't see in pics). Not a fan of the GR carrier, however I am seriously considering the new Poison Spyder Body Mounted Tire Carrier as I like the Rotopax mounting options. Will probably list the Teraflex Carrier for sale soon.

The Nemesis front flares also have two internal mounting brackets per side, making them very stout. My wife and daughter are able to stand on the installed flares with no visible stress to the outer sheet metal. IIRC, nutserts provided by Nemesis are beefier than those used by PS.

Think I'm going to get the Billy Rockers and the Odyssey front bumper now and wait on the fenders. I'm still torn between the Nemesis and PSC. It's mainly the cost. For the extra $500 of the Nemesis, I could get some underside protection or go towards any other part of the build (LCG long arm, 37"s, Tera44 axle, lockers, gears etc)
Not yet, I'm taking them down to get linex'd today so hopefully will get the mounted by Monday then I will take some photos.

Good to know. I wasn't aware of that!

The new PS Carrier looks pretty good. Only problem for some is that it's only available in steel. I have the Genright Aluminum rear carrier and it's no longer an issue to mount Rotopacks since Rugged Ridge came out with their x-style tube clamps. You could also have someone (maybe ask Genright themselves) TIG weld a mounting bracket directly to the tube.
