Default Fender Flares

Ran up a couple trees this weekend and busted up my Sahara passenger side flare. Sucks, but now I have reason to upgrade.

Searched Bushwhacker flats and found quite a disparity in price...why is there such a difference in price for the same product??

Amazon (from Amazon): $422 - no shipping
Our standard 4x4 sites: $559 (1 no shipping, the other $60 shipped).

Where did ya'll pick yours up from?

Also I looked at the RR fenders ($370 or so), does anyone know if they are comparable quality? I've seen Bushwhackers in person, but not the RR's...

Thanks for the input!

the rugged ridge flares look like stock flares that have been chopped - they are pretty nice. the bushwackers look more like a real factory flat fender replacement but, they are also more expensive. don't know why there is such a price difference out there but, if they are legit, i have a feeling someone isn't abiding by bushwacker msrp guidlines and will eventually get slapped on the wrist.

I bought my Bushwacker's from Autoanything for $474 shipped. They are always reliable and fast. I think the RR flares have yet to come out with the inner fender liners.

Autoanything has the RR's for $295 no shipping... Almost $100 cheaper than the usual sites. Crazy how much more some places charge for the same thing. I can see $10-30 difference... wonder how many people are wasting money w/o searching...

Check out truckaddons. They had bushwackers on for 360 shipped

Edit. Now they are 420- a 30 dollar instant rebate and I also believe bushwacker has s 50 dollar mail in rebate going on now. So 340 shipped. Killer deal.

Thanks, now I guess the debate is RR or Bushwhacker... I like the idea of Rugged Ridge being able to buy 1 fender for replacement, but there is no liner available from them yet.

Decisions, decisions.......

I ordered from truck add-ons but they didn't stock the bushwhackers and I didn't want to wait (they were going to order from bushwacker) Rugged Ridge pricematched and shipped them fast.

For me I like the thicker look of the bushwhackers. They look more finished to me. Plus the lights are cool.
