Price: $218.00
Pros: Look Great!
Cons: Needed to drill a lot of holes.
Recommended? Yes

Comments: Very few holes lined up. On the rears only 3 of 8 lined up (and 1 of them had to be forced). I did not like the mounting hardware that came with it. It did not seem like it could take off-road abuse. I went to Home Depot and got larger allen bolts with locking nuts (they now match the hardware on my rocker guards).

Having said all that. . . . . I do like them and they look GREAT!!

Price: $240.00
Pros: Cheap for 6" Aggressive Look
Cons: People say they break easily, Brittle
Recommended? Yes

Comments: My front left fender was broken, so I opted to replace them all with these 6" flares. Plus my 31x10.5" tires were sticking out of the stock flares, so I figured it was a win/win.
These are flexible ABS plastic and look pretty much exactly like the Bushwackers. I hear the Bushwackers are a little more durable and less brittle. Mine are glossy black with texture. So far, I have had no issues with them, but I only do mild off-road stuff.
My installation kit was complete and needed no modification of any kind on my 1998 TJ.

Price: $200.00
Pros: Looks good.
Cons: Cracks easily. Exposes scratches.
Recommended? No

Comments: The flares cracked within two months of use and I don't go searching for rocks to climb or anything like that. The factory flares leave big scratches as well and these flares do not cover these marks entirely.

Smittybilt Pocket-Style Fender Flares
Price: $220.00
Pros: They look good, But
Cons: busted easily
Recommended? No

Comments: I went mudding and got rocks in the tires. Pulled onto the paved road, a rock flew off into the fender, breaking it. Next time I will go slower at first. I did get another flare sent free from Smittybuilt after a few phone calls.

Recommended? Yes

Comments: They're the same thing as the Bushwackers, for half the price! I highly recommend coming up with a quick disconnect system for them if you plan on crawling in tight spaces. They will rip right off, really easily. Even the Bushwackers will.

*****UPDATE*****
These P.O.S. flares are disintegrating before my very eyes! Can't wait to replace them with Warn Trail Flares.
