Title: Tj fenders
Post by: Chris.F on September 01, 2014, 03:21:15 PM: Just got a 2006 Tj and I'm looking to get fenders. But I don't know whether to get Poison spider or Smitty built. Any opinions?

although I don't like the way they look, but they are growing on me.

Functionally they rock.

No with saying that I probably wouldnt buy them again. Just too much money to mess them up so easily. Granted learn to drive but you can always slide on a rock and smack them. I would rather go with MCE or an even better idea is Jimmy 4x4 or Campbell Enterprise fiberglass hood with the fender molded in. Hoods are only 400. Lighten the whole front end up and help with heat soaking.

The actual flare is seperate, and can be replaced or swapped for a flare with less/more tire coverage. I prefer them like Jeepson33s did. The flare will take the hit and the painted part is alot less likely to be damaged. BTW nice rig!
