Brute, do you ship? Or would you recommend genrights? Do you run with essentially no rear tire coverage?

I can ship, I personally run no rear fenders now but am building a set literally for the rears for people. Front I can make 3" and 5" off body but can go 7" if someone wants.

Genright makes some really good stuff as well I'm I pressed with those guys attention to performance as well...I've been in the racing and off road game for a LONG time and appreciate people like genright.

5 or 7 inches would be from the fender to the edge of the tube? Just wondering how far out they would be.

You mean these pictures of Loki's rig?








The dent above the rear fender was from something that impacted above the fender flare area....a good reason to get the full corner guards as well with the tubular fenders.

Or U can just do this. Don't ever have to worry about rubbing or bashing it trees or rocks.

Definitely metal fenders. Plastic dented my rear and one ripped off. Plastic may bend, but don't overestimate the strength of the body sheet metal. You can almost bend it with two fingers.

There are several great metal fenders out, which are braced to the frame. Poison Spyder Crushers, MetalCloak Overline, etc.

The Design of the JK makes it extremely hard to paintless dent repair. You don't want anything that will transfer load to the body.

My two cents.

Anyone else know which fenders brace to the frame and not the body?
