Fender Flares Rugged Ridge vs. Bushwackers
 
I was thinking of getting the RR because they a lot less than BW is there any reason I shouldn't, they look the same to me. Anyone who has had either please comment on how you like them.

Thanks for your help.

X3. cut your flares for free vs. getting the RR. I like my BW but I got them on sale a few months back for $300, and plastic flares aren't worth the full price they are selling for IMO.

X4...I love my Bushwackers but if not on a huge sale, I'd cut them. I think Opentracker still is looking for the liners for the RR flares.

I am very happy with my bw's. They were an easy install and really open everything up nicely. I get a lot of compliments on them.

They are built completely different from the rr flares. They are mounted with screws to a plastic subframe that is bolted to the tub and really have a decent amount of strength to them. The rr are basically a copy of the factory fender that is trimmed already.

Thanks for the info, I didn't know that.

I like RR; I do not like the front angle cut of the BW.
