Does anyone make a flat fender flare design besides Xenon? Plastic, metal? I like the way the Xenons looks up front, but I just don't like the rear

Any pic's of this operation?

I cracked both front Bushwackers on the first offroad bump... Way too hard plastic!

Default Bushwackers

I have them and love them. I had them sprayed with Line-X so they don't get scratched up from things you may scrape on and off the trails.... You DO need bigger tires though, and I also recommend 1.5 inch wheels spacers on each side. Even with my 35s it looked weird until I put the wheel spacers on.

I just lifted and went with 35's, I could use the addition coverage now as my 35's stick out past the OEM fenders. I like the looks of the pockets. They are definitely on my to-do list.
