Default Real flex fender?

Need some real flex fender.
I'm from Brazil and wheel in some thin places. So some times my jeep is really against something.
I read that BW transfer damage to the jeep body, and do not flex a lot.
I had my stock fenders trimmed. But I'm tired of loosing then wheeling. I never came back from a wheeling with all the fenders on theier places.

Some one know how to solve?

Thinking about TrailMod, but the smaller fender (not the removible) can be flexed... At leas this was written here. Since I've never saw one like this.

No ferder is not a option... Law and much mud problems...

Default Flat Fender Flares

I think you probably have the best solution now with the trimmed stock fenders given the narrow trails that you wheel. I've heard the same thing about the Bushwackers with respect to flexing or the lack thereof.

You might look at the All-Terrain Flat Fender Flares from Rugged Ridge, but I suspect they are very close to what you're already using.

I think you have the best option already. I know if I hit something with my BW flat's that they will probably either - 1) rip off, not nicely or 2) damage my fender sheet metal. Those factory ones are designed to come off easy, then go back on to live another day.

If I did serious off-roading, the trimmed factory ones is what I would chose.

An option I'm thinking about is trailmod removable.
But the inners are rigid and only 1' wide... Forgetting the cost...
