First off, thanks for all of the replies and kind words! Thanks also for chiming in Scott, the RADS look great in the '6 wheels. We do have more things in the pipeline in terms of lights, hi-line, tire coverage, etc.

Here are some quick pictures that we took today in the driveway of how the OE fenders match up. This was something that was critical to us when we designed the fenders.





















Thanks, and thanks again Jerry for all your time and effort!

Jason and Mike @ MCE

Hey Jason, do you know Tim the Jeeper in Bothell who hangs out over on JU & JeepBBBs?

And you're welcome, thanks to you & Mike for inviting me to take part in your company's intro. Good luck with it, your first product looks like it's gonna be a hit!

Do you think it could get brittle in the cold?

EDIT: NM Flares obviously don't, so these shouldn't either

Looks great!

Nah I doubt it. It got all the way down to 53 here in San Diego & they were still flexible and fine.

Just kidding... ABS does not have a problem in cold weather as near as I can tell. At least GE uses ABS plastic liners for their freezers & refrigerators. And ABS is what football helmets are made out of. Must be pretty tough stuff.

I see you had your sliders off when you did the cutting. Didn't look necessary though. Or was it necessary?

Edit: Looked at pictures again and maybe they do need to be off. What is it?

Sure glad I don't live in a place where wheel coverage is required (or at least enforced)...No offense to your product intended AT ALL, but gawd, that's horrific with the cut up stock fenders slapped on the outside.

I can't wait to see some for a YJ, and matching rear flares would be great

Looks like a good, clean product that will fill its intended niche very well

Thanks for the write-up Jerry!

Great write up Jerry, and a super nice product for a great price. I think I will be replacing my steel flat fenders I made with some of these.

Easily removable flairs would be a big plus. Keep the flairs on when on-road; take them off when hitting the trail.

i really like the look of these, but one factor is gonna stop me,
Jerry, are they gonna sag in the hot SoCal summers?
sitting outside in 120 heat is gonna do something to them...
