Thanks all! Any of you running Bushwacker Flat fenders? Feedback? I like the look and have read mostly positive reviews but hard to believe in reviews these days.

Welcome to the Dark Side and congratulations on your new Jeep! You've made a great decision. Do you have any particular mods in mind yet?

Was thinking of the following in this order.
-Flat Fenders
-Rock Krawler 2.5 Expedition
-1.5 Spydertrax
-35X12.50X17 M/T MTZ on the factory wheels
-Front and rear bumpers(not sure what yet but leaning towards Poison Spider front)
From there I am not sure...

My bushwhacker flat fenders showed up this morning. Pretty stoked to get those on but will have to wait. I don't think the factory tires will look good with all that space around them. I also bought a set of SpyderTrax 1.5 spacers so now have to buy the 35's to put on as well...

I installed the BW flat fenders, SpyderTrax spacers. Leaning toward the TuffStuff Rear Bumper because of the Single action it offers.Click image for larger version
