Any pics of the ares ones out yet? The rustys would never pass inspection here they don't cover enough of the tire. on 33/12.50's with 3.75 backspace my bushwacker flat flares are perfect, would like a set of steel though down the road

I have the same wheel/tire size as you and can tell you that the **** fenders cover perfectly. Not sure about Ares though, would definitely want to see someone order and take pics

Can we bump this up, it seems that there are more than a few people looking for the same thing. Did anyone end up purchasing Rustys? Has anyone heard from Ares to see what he charges. This will be my next purchase and I would really like some more real world experience before dropping $800.

That's the link to the AresFab armor. He has a few different options, I don't have any however I did just receive a bumper from him and I think it's pretty great.

i've been running them for about 8 months.....pretty easy to install. rear ya have to do a little "coercing" on the lower side to suck 'em in towards the body but no problems really.. some of the rear's bolts can be a biatch doing the job solo but i was also able to eliminate a couple of the riv-nuts from the program.
i'd originally looked at a couple of the other manufacturers, but i didn't want to wait out their "build-time" and the rusty's were on the shelf ready to ship so.... wasn't sure of the squared fenders at the beginning but now i'm really digging them, seem to suit the boxiness of the cherokee nicely
