Rugged Ridge Flat flares installed
Got these in earlier this week and finally got around to putting them on. I painted the inner fender wells along with the flares themselves with duplicolor truck bed liner spray. I also trimmed up the front factory fender liner to and installed those back on to cover up the side sides of the motor. Over all its smooth and straight forward install. The painting and masking off was the most time consuming for me. My current set up in the pictures is the 2.5 teraflex coil lift with 285/70/17 duratracs with the flat flares. For the price theyre not bad. I got them for about 280 shipped during the thanksgiving weekend sale. Here are some pics of the flares from different angles since I havent seen many pics of these yet.

This is great. I think the flares look great on both jeeps. Gives me something to think about. Im thinking flares first, then lift down the road. Thanks to both of you for putting up the pics.

Wouldn’t waste the money on Rugged Ridge Flat Fenders
I too thought these looked good for the price, put them on and they flap terribly causing the front quarter panels to vibrate like crazy when going down the road. I took them off, sold them on EBay and bought Bushwacker the next day for another $150.
I wouldn't waste the money on the RR, in hindsight I would have trimmed my stock fenders but I do really like the Bushwacker Flat Fenders... look and function 100% better.

This is how I see it. These fenders are $250 new. In Canada you can sell your old fenders for 200-300 depending on the condition. Why would you take the chance and cut your own when you could get aftermarket ones for the price you would sell the stock ones for.
