Default Bushwacker style fender flares

Would like to get a set of Bushwacker-style fender flares on my TJ, but not pay the $400+ that the "real" bushwackers cost. Are there any other alternative fenders that have that pocket style, are bolt on, and aren't as expensive?

Default flares

Well... I have the genuine $$$ bushwacker 6" pocket flares that LOOK cool...

that's ALL they do, bump anything and CRACK; they go to pieces!

In my opinion; they are an acceptable product if you want your TJ to look good; but off road; they are well... not an offroad product. (that's as nice as I could say it)

I built my Jeep to GO, not for show, but I needed 6" flares...

Now, I think the Rugged Ridge 7" ones would have been a better buy for me $150 i think on quadratec...

the bushwackers ones are just too stiff for my use...

Anyway; the point is, you don't know how stiff they are from a picture online... your use may dictate what you buy...

but yea; they do look sweet!
