Urethane Flat Fender Flares

[chudlet]

I’ve smashed the shit out of mine and they bounce right back. Don’t see a benefit running steal in rear. If you don’t like the rears run naked … leave them off

Can I ask why you changed from the 6" Xenon to the 4" KBD? Seems like the Xenon would give you better coverage. I wouldn't mind less mud down the sides of my Jeep. Now that you have had both, pros and cons of each? Thanks.

I really preferred the shape of the Xenon. They have a more squared off end instead of slanted points of KBD. If they still made the 4” I’d have those. Coverage was a little better with 6” but every time I looked at Jeep it looked like it had a skirt on.

The red circled part is what I really liked about the Xenon, the KBD come into a hard slant, you lose 1/2 the fender. That being said I live in snow and mud is common… haven’t had a problem at all. Jeep is always dirty anyway and 4” is enough to keep mud out of cab

You still got those Xenon flares taking up space in your garage? The 3.5" stock ones I currently run just are not doing the trick.

Wanted to share in case anyone else was looking at these. Fit was great. If my body wasnt so nice i'd chop it up and do true flat fenders but i'm happy with this look.

Could you send me a pic straight on? Want to see how much the tires poke out, and what size tire and wheel do you have? Thanks!

I might consider these. I like that they line up with original mounting holes unlike all other aftermarket flares.

Are these 33" or 35" tires? Tried to make it out from the sidewall, but the text got too blurry.

Received my KBD flares about 4 days after ordering (the factory is about 30 miles from me). They are heavy and tuff feeling. Soft enough to flex some but I would recommend using larger washers under the screws. The fronts went on with zero drama using the factory hardware. The rears were a bit more work to get the old ones off. The rear also uses plastic panel clips to secure all but the lower few holes which have factory Riv-nuts. We'll see how they hold up.

Looks really good! Are you going to paint them? Mine are on order. I have an 04 TJ same color.

 

[HoosierUnk]

Looks good. Did you install the factory side markers or leave them off?

Got my rears installed yesterday. Will work on the fronts tonight. It looks like most of you all are just installing and not painting? I painted mine with some rustoleum bedliner. Its a very durable finish that has a much finer texture than what you'll normally find with something like Upol Raptorliner.

I will say these were inexpensive and they serve a purpose to me. They needed a LOT of work to get them ready for paint though. The parting lines were really bad and required some grinding to get them smooth. They also have lots of pin holes near end of fill. Most of them were on the underside and I'm not looking for a show car finish here, so I left them...but If I were trying to body color match like a Sahara or something, I'd have been pretty ticked. Finally, it took a TON of effort to get the mold release off...Lots of scrubbing. But...for half the price of the Xenon flares that are the same style, they work. They do fit pretty well and they are very flexible, which will be nice for their inevitable encounters with rocks, roots and trees.

Very nice! I just ordered a set after seeing your pic. I have an 04 tj light khaki metallic. I’m trying to decide if I’m gonna paint them. Are u happy with the bed liner paint so far?

Yes. It’s been what, 3.5 years now? They still look like they did when I installed them. I’ve rubbed them on trees, filled them with mud, even crunched a front fender and they are no worse for wear. The paint has held up well too. 1 spot is rubbed off where I got a tree (the same one that crunched my fender)
