Got in a wreck, getting tube fenders, recommendations?
I recently got in a wreck and now I need a new hood, grille, and fenders. Since the average tube fender set ($500) costs half of new stock fenders from the stealership, why not upgrade?
![]() I have been looking at TnT custom's tube fenders. They look like good craftsmanship and looks like a complete kit, minus the CAI. But I have that taken care of. If possible, I would like to keep my side markers on the fenders because drilling the grille doesn't sound appetizing to me. Ideas? ![]()

TNT's fenders are awesome. They stuffed 35's under a stock YJ with them. They are one of two manufacturers to actually fully replace the inner fender. Which means you can either keep or sell your old fenders. Most companys (Genright included) use part of the inner fender, but in the long run it hurts more than it helps. You don't get as much clearance that way. I was going to go with Genright until I saw that and talked to Bob at TNT. Bob is the man. If you have ANY questions, give him a call. Or his daughter who usually answers the phone. She's pretty knowledgable as well. I vote for TNT. I'm doing them all the way around!

Metal Fusions tube fender kit moves the side markers to the front and uses them as turn signals.

I'm not dropping $2,000 on the AEV highline. I just want full fenders, inner and outer. I need to be able to mount everything on them.
Who is the other manufacturer? I thought it was Gen-right

AEV is the other manufacturer to actually give you a whole new inner fenderwell. That's because the guy at AEV has a lot of ties with Chrysler. So, he stamps new ones. TnT is the only company that actually manufactures an entire new inner fender. You might have to lose the stock airbox, but it's a small price to pay for all that extra room for new shoes. Did you miss the part where I said they stuffed 35's under a stock YJ with their REGULAR tube fenders? Now imagine if someone actually made highline tube fenders the way TNT makes theirs. You'd be stuffing 40's under there with 2 inches of lift LOL. I like Genright, don't get me wrong. But I can do the same thing with TnT that I was going to do with Genright, for cheaper.

Depends on whose you buy, as was previously stated TnT (or Treks as I believe they are now called) is a complete replacement, meaning you do not need to reuse the inner fenders of the stock fenders.

I like my PSC tubes, but you do need the stock inners for it. you cut away a lot of the stockers though, how bad are yours? there are a few sewts of stocks always for sale here in denver for about $150. i got my set for $125. anyways, for the signals, i didnt want to cut the grill either, so i used LEDS and flush mount motorcycle lights on my fenders:

some pics of my TNTs
![]() ![]() ![]() and my favorite pic of the tire stuffed up into the fender. Notice how the tube is only on the outer section of the fender. This provides more room the the tires. ![]() The rig has stock control arms, stock bumpstops, and OME ZJ springs in that photo. That and 37s. |

i dont know if this has been said but make sure you get one that replaces the whole fender, and the inner wall, so that it actually gives you more space, i have TnT's and absolutely love them you can look at my build thread for pics
