Both of my front fenders had some trail modifications so I decided to build some 'armor'. Could I lay the jeep over on these? No, but they are a heck of a lot stronger than stock and I like the way they look. I got in a hurry trying to get them on before the JK jamboree, so right now they are just on with sheet metal screws. I will be swapping them out with button heads or rivets soon.

Prolly not the greatest in protection but they look good!

they are 10g steel, so like I said, I will not be laying the Jeep on them, but its a lot better than the stock sheet metal and plastic flares.

Been thinking of making my short corner guards into full guards. Not sure it is worth the trouble though...

Fenders are on my to do list. Would have saved me from some damage at Smorr on rattler.
