Wrecked

I just got a new quadratec catalog in the mail and on the back cover there is an advertisement for a set of flat fender flares by bushwacker. Up until now all I had seen was there pocket style cutout flares. The flat ones look really good but I was wondering if anybody has seen them in person.

They look good on a Wrangler, My brother's has them. I still prefer the other model on an XJ................................................ ..........................................JMO!

Hey guys the Jeep belongs to my cousin John. I'm going to go look at it today. My cousin john has a rare blood disorder that doesn't have a cure yet and bushwacker built this Jeep for him. The paint is what comes on the new Rubicons with just a slight differennce.

They are not out yet. This has been posted on every Jeep forum under the sun, haha.

They look nice but just not a fan of the plastic flares, seen too many busted on the trail but for a DD/Mall Crawler they would be great.

Not everyone's trails are the same, what might not work for you might work for another. The whole mall crawler mentality is overrated. Sorry but its annoying to see this comment over and over again. I enjoy a good discussion but opinion and sarcasm do not add to the topic at hand.

xjoffroad

how is that his opinion? its true. I have seen numerous BW destroyed all over the country. no sarcasm there, its called real world experience.

xjmarc

No sarcasm intended. Some people build for looks and some for function. I see a ton of lifted 4Xs around here with 40+ inch tires that will never see a dirt road much less a trail built simply because they like the look. Kills me that they are ruining a $300 and up each set of tires on the street but to each his own. Never understood anyone wanting to run a Bogger on the street but see it every day. I didn't come up with the name Mall Crawler but most times it fits. People call mine a beater which used to bother me but now I consider it a compliment.

Sorry I forgot you have seen everything. My mistake, I will remove head from sand before posting next time. Reminds me next time I go out I better watch out for that mud, it might jump up and break my poor plastic fender flare.

Now your thinking! Always good to protect you $350 plastic investment!

I know, thats 90% of the trucks in Cali, my second home. Some even embrace the mall crawler thing, seen the sticker, didn't mean to be a buzz kill. Its just not everyone has the fab skills to make a metal set so they want/need an alternative. Which is what BW are.
