Have you heard that the pocket flares can cause body damage to the Jeep off road? I have seen it happen to a few people. They do not "give/bend" like the stock ones, and therefor the stress of an impact against a rock or tree causes the fender to push in the metal on the body rather than obsorbing the impact. Same thing with flat or tube fenders, although they can look pretty cool. Check out this link below...

The Line-X looks great, will probably be extremely durable on the fenders and bumpers. I am thinking of doing my Warn front bumper with Line-X, as the paint is crap. Bumper already rusting in a few areas.

Previous, and what caused the need to cut:



And the result after cutting, should be more than enough, I guess...
