I'm debating between the Xenon narrow or the Bushwacker flat flares.

The Xenons seem to be smoother from the flat surface all around through the edging and the Bushwackers seem to have a more pronounced rounded edging.

I feel like I'm leaning towards Xenon for styling--they just seem to blend in better with the factory lines of the JK.

Does anyone have any thoughts???

Thanks!!!

 

Xenons sag...
The bushwackers use the stock insides of the fenders so you dont see into the engine bay.

 

I'm looking at the same decision this week, although looking at the Xenon wides or Bushwackers. Just don't want to be spraying as much junk up on the other motorists sharing the road. I have also seen some Xenons sagging in the middle of the front fender. Not sure how that happens, be it trail damage or bad install but it does give me some pause with my considerations. Also the Bushwacker flat flares look like a pretty refined finished product as if they came from the factory. Curious to hear what the downsides might be.

 

I was under the impression that Xenon now includes a brace in the middle that eliminates the previous design sag.

Also, couldn't you reinstall the stock fender wells with the Xenon (with some trimming of course) like you do with the Bushwackers?

Are the Bushwackers really better?

Definitely appreciate the comments!!!

 

The stock fender wells are used with the Xenon flat fenders. You do have to trim them though.

 

OK, sagging Xenon issue addressed, both have limited life time warranty which suggests aesthetics/size as a purchasing decision unless there are some additional attributes or concerns with one or the other.

 

IMO, The bushwacker's look much better. I do not like the mold of the xenon flats nor the smooth finish.

 

I loved the Buchwackers over the Xenon's until seeing the Xenon's on a couple of Off Road Evolution built rigs. They both had the fenders painted to match the jeep and looked awesome and from an asthetics perspective. IMO I don't think you could go wrong with either brand...would love to see how the Bushwackers look painted cuz the Xenon's look like they were there from the start versus a bolt on.

 

I saw one of Camp Crocker's jeeps on Exreme 4x4 on Powerblock TV April 4th and it had painted Bushwacker flares on it. The jeep was white with white flares. They looked really good. As a matter of dfact I think that show helped me decide to get the Bushwackers.
