ok. im looking at buying fender flares, I've got a loan on my cherokee so it wont get any rock rash or trees rubbbed down the side of it but I do use it off road. Mainly exploring trails or running from town to town thru the woods or taking the woods when theres a fatal crash on the main road to my house. which is about 1+ per month it seems like, but my question is..

DO YOU GUYS/GALS PREFER THE BUSHWACKER OR THE NAPIER FLARES?

im looking for tire coverage and extra clearance this pic here is the same set up i have lift/wheel/tire size with bushwacker flares

I would assume they're pretty wide. They say if you cut everything inside of the flare you can fit 35x13.50 on 4" of lift.

i have no regrets with mine... bought em used but still in excellent shape. I use my jeep in the same aspect as what you described, offroading but nothing extreme. I like em cuz they keep the $hit of the side of my jeep.

dude youre like the guardian of the threads or something. those are the characteristics of a troll..
I vote no fender flares. or fab some as part of your exo. but those iceland offroad ones look pretty sweet as a second choice though

I'd have to go with no flares also lol. Anything the tires sling around covers up the rust!
If I had to buy flares though, I'd buy bushwhackers rear and rusty's bulge fenders.
