I think thats the main hold up for after market flares, theres no support, IMO if its mounted like the stock ones your just asking for trouble.

My plastic flares have pushed in the sheet metal, I cant imagine what a steel fender would do.

I like Offroad evolutions approach, as long as it gets clean up for the production sets

Let's see some pics, we won't laugh, I promise.

At least you're trying. I haven't even tried to take mine off to look at how hard it would be.

I have a set of steel fenders, but will probably not use them for now if anyone wants them I'll sell them cheap.
Post the pics.
