I asked that question when they had the Jeep in San Diego. They said yes... however I wouldn't expect to see them available in the near future.

I have the river raider fenders, they are nice. Fitments left some space for improvement but overall they are sturdy as hell. After I bolted them up I was in my garage jumping up and down on them and they wouldn't budge.........so naturally I made my wife jump up and down on it with me to see if we both could move it. Nope. So naturally I thought I should see if I could jack up my jeep by the fender and see if it moved.........solid. The fender held the weight without any problem. But like I said, fitment could be improved.


Stregth A++
Fitment C+ I figured making a flange on a template that fit the fender lines would have been the easy part, maybe I was wrong..

I didnt want to throw out the "Made in China" I ordered the S-bilt tube doors back in Sept and had a deliver date of like 2 weeks, When I checked back in 2 weeks they were delayed a couple more weeks. After a month I checked back and they said that they would not be available until sometime in 2010 due to shipping issues.

Those fenders looked sick in person and they are supposed to be coming out with extras that bolt on to them like flares and provisions for accessories.

And my XRC rear bumper was made in the US. My JK.....not so much.
