Any other complaints with them? Thats what I noticed about them, that the rear doesn't seem to follow the arch.

I just got smittybilts metal flat fenders but haven't put them on yet. They are much more affordable and seem to match your criteria

My opinion is genright. Super solid product and can take a beating. I don't have them but know a few that do and they love them and they look badass. I have their tire carrier and the quality is top notch.

Well it's hard to tell from the pics but to the left there is a pretty steep hill I was trying to climb, basically the front end slid off and down I went

I have two jeeps with Poison Spider tube fronts, and one with Gen Right. Both PS and GR are good. On all three I have TnT rear fenders and flares.

I wheel the heck out of my big rig. I've put it on its side, into rocks, etc. only damage to fenders was scratches to paint.

I haven't put the Gekko fronts into full armor use yet, but looking at the Genrights I'd say they are just as good.

I've never heard of TnT, do they come with rear corner guards as well?

They both look really good. How hard were they to install? Was one harder than the other??
