I like the idea of the trailmods, but for those that have fender laws and can't drive to the trail with them removed - what are your plans for storing them while on the trail?

Banging around in the back?
Hope someone has a tow rig you can store them in?
Toss them in the tent and hope?

Default dumbo wings

I like the idea too, but I don't like the fact that they apparently are 3" wider than stock flares... I think they will kinda stick out like dumbo wings.

Would like to see more pics of them installed and hear some feedback...

Those actually look really good, I like that idea too. i guess that why your paying the big bucks though. The only thing I dont really get is why they would make them wider than stock flares. Its just more unneeded bulk

I need flares that are 3" wider then stock with my current tire width and wheel offset. And I'm going to 14.5" wide in another month or two. I'm glad someone is making wide flares that don't look like Bushwacker pocket flares.

I was gonna get river raider to make me a wide set but maybe these are a good option...

Subscribed. I've been looking at these n Qtec and thought they looked nice. I'm waiting for enough trail stripes on my sahara fenders to order those.

My tires currently stick out 2.5" (1.5" worth of spacer plus 1" outboard of centerline worth of additional tire width) beyond stock, so 3" of additional coverage is just what the doctor ordered. Plus they don't hang out there when you're on the trail, waiting to get damaged.
