For the love of God are there any tube fenders out there that are flat across the front? The closest thing I can find are the fenders by Pure Jeep but they still have a gusset welded in.

 

I don't know that I've ever seen tube ones for the JK. BTW - MetalCloak has some similar to the ones you posted (Still have an "M" gusset) but look better in my OP.

 

I think ace engineering does.

 

ACE fenders look good but still a little to flying nun for me. They are in the running though because of the great quality and one hell of a price, I think all 4 is under 700.

 

I just installed mine from "Warrior"!

 

I like the look of those and considered something from warrior but heard they only attach to the sheet metal? How sturdy do they feel/seem? Just curious.

 

Not sure if this is what your looking for, but I love my river raider fenders





This is my 3rd set of aftermarket fenders btw and these are stayin. I had the pure jeep ones and didn't like the look once mounted. evo tube fenders are pretty rad

 

They use 9 bolts/washers/nuts for each fender, which makes it as strong as possible short of welding. The one's with steel on the top support a 300 lbs guy. Check their video :-)
I have the aluminum tops, which is not as strong, but I am not planning on standing on my fender LOL The actual frame is the same for all options.

 

These are look really good but I am looking for some that are horizontal across the front and do not dip down at all. I am also considering the Smittybuilt XRC fenders anyone have experience with the installation of those?

 

Those River Raiders are sweet but for the price I would go with Metal Cloaks I like how the front fenders are two piece and you can remove part of the fronts to make them skinny or remove the rear fenders by removing a couple screws. Pretty sweet design...
