Front fender armor?
I just bought some JCR rear corner guards, want something to match in front, does anybody make something like that or will I have to make it?
If I do make it im thinking just take some 1/4 inch plate and bend it a hair by hand to match the curve of the fender, cut it to whatever shape I want the wheel well to be, then weld that baby on there. I dont want flares, just armored front fenders.
Any Ideas? Anybody ever make on of these?

1/8th is too thin i think. It bends to easily when its a large piece like that. Trust me i just built a gas tank skid out of 1/8in diamond plate and it bends fairly easily. now i have to reiforce it with metal strip
