I was wondering why people are looking at tube fenders? I understand you can clear a slightly larger tire with less lift, but the plastic fenders cost about $50 to replace it they get damaged and they are also designed to break before causing any body damage. I am not saying I don't like the looks or idea of a tube fender, or trying to bash them or this thread in any way, but I was wondering why people are looking to them and maybe some enlightenment on the subject.

It think they need to be painted, but,... VERY NICE

Well for me it wasn't some sun-moon-&-stars lined up "oh wow tube fenders are in" kinda thing, it was more for the flex, tire clearance, I like the way they look, different from others, inexpensive to replace, stockers to replace are not $50 bucks (Chrysler Parts quoted me $185 I believe each). The biggest thing for me was the stock fenders had a goofy look where the stubby Shrock bumper and, grill and flares tied-in, the Xenon narrow flares made everything flow together. I like functionallity and good looks when I mod my rig, just how I am

Indeed nice rig, love the flush mount LED in the rear, hate the drilling into body panels, definitely needs paint, wish they were narrower flares, but nice nonetheless.

These Fenders are River Raider’s and they are great. Like I have said in the past, Ken from River raider convinced me to do Gatorhyde and I wasn't sure about it but after couple weekends out on the trail I really like the finish. It holds up very well and after touch up paint you can’t even tell where I hit the tree and the rock.
My suggestion if you do gator, line-x, or any texture finish do not do color match. It is very very hard to match color because of the texture. Also keep in mind the texture finishes will add more space and the fenders might not line up correctly. The fenders fit perfectly bare metal and when Ken installed the fenders we had to make adjustments because of the Gator finish.
The pictures does not do justas and people from the NOVA jeep show commented that it looks lot better in person then the pictures.

My 02. I use the Xenon wide fenders. If I drag one off it does not cause body damage as the steel ones do. I am not knocking the steel fenders, they are great. I just see less "carnage" with the "break away" ones.

i do really love the off road evolution ones ,i would leave them black, anyway i sent a email to them and they said they where 2,000 bucks for them so ....

I can't decide which ones to get either!

One thing I do know is that all you guys who installed them need to black out inside the fender wells even if you just use a can of flat black spray paint would look better than the body color under there!
