Has anyone seen the off-brand fender flares on eBay that look just like the Bushwackers but ship in from overseas at about $220? Anyone know if they are any good...if they are the same thing...if they are a waste of money?

I've heard mixed reviews about the Ebay ones.. some say they are great, some say they crack in the cold or brake on impact. I don't run them so I can't really say one way or the other. I run Rusty's flex flairs and have no complaints except they warp a little when its really hot (to be expected I guess considering you can twist them like a pretzel).

They're like those but even cheaper. About $220 shipped but coming from overseas...still, half the cost of the Bushwackers and they look exactly the same in the pictures.

Jmb54, Sound like the same complaints people have about the bushwackers.
Thanks for the input guys. If the Bushwackers have the same problem with the seasonal changes, I might just go for it and hope for the best.

Ordered the Napiers. They're running about $90 cheaper than the Bushwackers right now with the Cherokee Forum discount code. They also appear to be a lot stronger...they're 3/16" thick.
