Sorry, i should clarify.
I mean people on here are telling everyone you wont get body damage with steel fenders. I've had body damage from my plastic flares (green Jk), I've seen body damage from bushwacker flares on other Jeeps.
I'm not saying RR are not built well, I'm saying there's no gaurantee they wont damage the Body like any other steel fender

that's funny, i have talked to some of "my members" i none of them seem to recall seeing anything of your fenders being tested out first hand. 
I have more then once just crushed the fenders and no dmage except for the gaytorhyde.
seriously, how about a pic of what your cottage cheese looks like after taking the hit.
Like I have stated befor, if the parts, in this case fenders, are designed and mounted corrected it will do it's job. I have had many experiences with PSC fenders and never once did it fail to protect the body.
I dunno what else to tell you 
Straight dropoff
tried to roll in but I just slid down and to the right
after I hit I tried to power out but I ended up with my rear tires off the ground and my fronts spinning (diff high centered)
I'm sure if I would have just powered through after I saw the fronts just sliding down I'd have made it... probably minus a few teeth though.

I was merely stating that they are very sturdy. There was no movement to the fenders or the quarter panels even with my weight jumping up and down on them.
There are actually several spacers that transfer the load to the subframe keeping the sheet metal from collapsing in. There is a kind of sandwich thing going on. You'd have to see it, I just know that it works 
You'd have to hit hard enough to bend the sub frame and I'm pretty sure whatever you use it's going to give in that case.

I like the RR fenders and I'm glad I went with them.
none that i know of, just fanboyz on here.
I was at TDS last weekend, smashed into just about everything with my front fenders just got dirt in my cottage cheese
of course it was just dirt not rocks. Seriously, from what I'm noticing, my tires take the brunt of it first then the fenders hit. I'm just waiting for that day when I do connect on a nice big rock to see what really happens

Hey instead of calling it Cottage cheese, say orange peels. It sounds more appealing.
no offense is meant but it but lets be honest here, this finish does look a lot like accustic ceiling/cottage cheese then drywall/orange peel. observe, orange peel has a smooth patchwork of lumpyness....
where as cottage cheese looks just like gaytohyde

[/QUOTE]Yeah but I think of cottage cheese thighs when you say cottage cheese, but then again cottage cheese is good with fruit

I looked at all the steel fenders and to me it doesnt make sence to mount a strong steel fender to the weak jeep sheet metal. I decided to wait and get the Off Road Evolution outlaw armor. I can tell you it was definitly worth the wait

I like the looks of tube fenders but I'll be sticking with the factory flares. I like non-dented sheet metal better! 
How much does the front and rear EVO Armor weigh together?
I like the looks of their armor but combine that with aftermarket bumpers and skids and Youre dealing with a lot of extra weight for the allready under powered 3.8L to push around.
I guess You need a HEMI to go along with the BLING
