I bought one of his first prototypes off Ebay for $300 shipped. I think he's trying to keep the price around there.
My vid on that link shows how tough they are. I'm very impressed. I caught the leading edge of the rear one on a tree, pushed it back 3/4" and it didn't break.

Thanks! Yeah most of it was unintentional. That was the maiden voyage and I'd never flexed it out fully and had stock bumpstops, but they took it all day, so I was happy not to find pieces in the trail.

Here's a few shots of it after I did some more trimming at full stuff:







Don't pay attention to that temp front bumper. I've got a winch bumper in the works, but needed something so I could wheel with the club. A few cuts with the bandsaw on some channel, weld the brackets on & voila!

Thanks I really like them so far. I was debating on the Rusty's flex flares, but I'm glad i didn't. I wheeled with a guy 2 weeks ago who had ripped one of his rear ones in half. I was also thinking about the rear TJ flares, but saw these & pulled the trigger. Doug is great to deal with. He asked me a lot of questions about fitting them and truly wanted to make instructions better, etc. Good guy to deal with...
