Genright off road. They make some really good stuff.

That's what I thought. I really like those but the girlfriend has her heart set on the Poison Spyder Defender flares so I think that's what we will be purchasing.

I looked on Poison Spyder's web site and did not see 6" fenders so I went with Genright

@ wayne they don't cover the whole tire as you can see. Check out Genright Off road. if you hit a tree with them shame on the tree

@ patrick don't know the brand of the old flairs were on it when I got the jeep

Wayne, we will be building the tube fender front that covers. Gotta keep them covered here too. I am not sure wide fronts exist on the aftermarket

I seem to have lost the pic I had saved to work off of. But the question is if we want the rear of it to cover too or taper back to the bottom.

Got the rear body armor and fenders mounted for a test fit. Now got a bunch of holes to drill and off to the powder coater they go. Should have it all back by the end of the week. Next pic will be the final install.

Not a whole lot of progress has been made sence my last post. Was hoping everything that was sent off to be powder coated would be back this weekend but it's not going to happen till next week. But I did install the inner fenders. Seeing as the inner and outer fender on a TJ are one piece I opted to get a set of Genright inner fenders instead of cutting the inner fenders off the old fenders and making them worth less (hoping to sell on CL) to re coup the cost of the new inners.

I'm hoping my next post will be the completed project.
