If you hate the stock fenders go no fender
WTF??? Are you STUPID??? Who said anything about 42's on a D44. How about 37's on a BB. I saw it on their test vehicle. Fully stuffed without rubbing.

i like the fenders, but they need to be wider! if they were as wide as the bushwackers were then this would be awesome!

I think they would look much better for stage 3, but I doubt they are DOT legal.

You need to have function with something that is pleasing to the eye. It very well may look alot better with a smaller lift, but the way it is now, it distracts from the overall jeep. AEV on the other hand has made some products that bring both funtion and looks together. There is nothing wrong with trying to keep your jeep "nice looking" while also adding mods to make it more capable.

Really? I thought beadlocks were illegal on the highways, and that they had to be approved by the DOT.

You can't be cited if there isn't any statute. I know in CA there aren't any laws concerning beadlocks.

Beadlocks are not illegal unless there is a statute specifically proclaiming that they are illegal... You cannot be cited for having beadlocks regardless of DOT approval. There are certain beadlocks that are DOT approved and you can get any wheel of your choice beadlocked from companies like champion. If the inner wheel is DOT stamped and you send it to champion it will be DOT approved. I believe this is what AEV does for their wheels or used to anyways. I think the Poison Spyder ones are pretty cool, but there are lots I like better (Walker Evans or Robby Gordon). Tire shops will mount them if you say they are not for road use .
