There's a jeep in my area that is identical to that one. Makes me wonder if he won it in a raffle from smittybilt or something? They look good in person, but I'm told that its a lot of work to get those fenders on. Cutting and drilling and such. They don't cover much of the tire either. So mud, rocks, water will be spraying everywhere I'd think

I have a friend that has this fender set up and I have to say I personally do not like how they fit. They are functional and strong but being they do not fit well they leave gaps in all over the place. I am pretty picky about that though. I was excited to see them when they first came out but very happy he bought them before I could! The powder coating is cheap also. Not trying to bash them for the people who have them but for the money I would do the Genright, Poison Spyder or Metalclock set up. GenRight has the rear fender/corner guard combo that I wish I had! Was not available when I bought my Poison Spyder fender and corners.

I've seen these on a few rigs,like said above it took a lot of time to get them to fit well.The hole for the gas fill was the hardest.My is sometimes it's better to pay for something that fits well than what it cost
