Default Smittybuilt XRC flares

Anyone run these? Steel flares, but no tube on outside. wondering how durable they are.

Price seams reasonable for what is shown, and at half the cost of plastic bushwackers it tugs at my wallet more then bush's does.

pics would be great if anyone is running them

Posted on multiple forums. so if you see it somewhere else, please post. check them as i can

yeah, i did a search. went through 10 pages before i had to leave. most are on the fenders, not flares. found two on flares that didn answer any real questions.

I have been running the flares since they came out. They are pretty sturdy and I have had 0 issues with them. The only issue I see with them is that if u hit them hard enough they will crush. But in last couple of years I have had them I have no dings, marks or scratches on them. No faded paint. Hope this helps...pm me if you want me to send you some pics
