Default MetalCloak Overland Fenders and Poison front bumper combo

Anyone have pics of a setup with Metalcloak fenders and any of the poison front bumpers they could post?

Thanks!

They are nice, but practically, the cost could cover other more significant priorities like regearing, or hydro assist steering, or chromoly axle shafts, or a really nice Warn winch, or a weld-in supplemental sport cage that attaches to and improves the stock cage, or beadlock wheels, or upgraded drag link and tie rod, etc., etc.

As a result, not many people do that kind of upgrade until after they've upgraded many other things first.

Still, I like them.

I do more rock crawling and technical wheeling--including in the trees. As a result, it's a bad idea for me to use a rear metal flare because they are stronger than the tub, and even when braced, a hard impact will cause significant damage to the rear tub.

The front designed metal flares with bracing seem to have held up better to abuse to the tub, and it is easier to install a new front fender than section in a new rear corner/fender.

I've chosen to run trimmed stock flares with steel corners and may end up doing either MCEs all around or do something metal if I build a custom roll cage that would better tie in for a brace of the rear.

I had them with an LoD front bumper. Not sure why the brand matters.

I'd like to see what the combo looks like too. I love the MC Overland flares, but as planman said, I'd much rather replace a cheaper/easier plastic flare than a body panel.
