Default JK flat fenders

Looking at getting some flat fenders. Bushwacker fenders look ok, anyone running them? Looking for a nice set that will NOT lose their shape.

the bushwackers really do look good but, another option you might want to look into is chopping your factory flares

I just installed these. Very cool. Steal. Subframe mounted. Strong as heck.

Trimmed stock is the way to go - if (when) I go to 37s, I plan to give mine a trim. It only costs as much as the little trim pieces cost and they flex if you bang em instead of scraping or breaking. Can't go wrong IMO.

and this is what i like most about the trimmed setup. i have seen too many instances where tube or other aftermarket fender have hit trees and that ended up damaging the body of their jeep. the trimmed fenders are soft and flexible and just bend out of the way. however, the plastic on the bushwackers do see to be softer and more flexible and i have yet to see what happens with them once they get hit. who knows, maybe they'll break before doing body damage like their pocket flares do now - to me, this would be a good thing.

Bit of a threadjack, but Planman, I like your Jeep. Clean, muscular, not over-equipped. How was Hell's Gate? Come up without trouble? Great picture.
