x2 Easy to assemble, fit well, and have held up to abuse.

I have the 4" GenRights. I've been happy with them, but I did bend one of them that day on Otters. Note that they don't give you any more room behind the wheel. With the shackle reversal, I'm always rubbing and the bump stops don't help back there. The Metalcloaks have their own inner fenders and open up the back as well as the top, but they are really pricey.

I'm a big fan of flat fenders. Real flat. Those kits sound pricey to me too, but I respect that they've done a lot of work to design and produce that stuff. Tubing and sheetmetal are cheap and plentiful, and for me, anyway, the making of the thing is a lot of the fun of it.
I made mine with bolted on fender panels so there really wasn't a ton of welding. I can change them out for smaller or no sheetmetal at all. I used some 1/8" poly sheet for the fender well, screwed on with the old self drillers!

Beautiful work, Andy! Steve, if you go GenRight, you may be able to get them from Quadratec at a discount and maybe even free shipping.

If I were to go with flat fenders I'd look for something with room behind the wheel well as well, like WILLYN had done. But if it's a kit that you have to weld up you should be able to weld it up as you like.

Mine went through inspection okay with the 4" flares and 33 X 12.50s, but I still had the narrow track axles with 1.5" spacers. Wide track is a little wider.

Not sure if going 6" is too much flair, but with Scout Dana 44s and 35s , Im sure 6" flairs would cover well, but be more vulnerable off road., 4" would be better protected , but I may need to extend a bit of coverage to pass inspection.

Thoughts?

What rim width are you running? Not sure how wide my Bushwhacker flares are but they cover my 33 x 12 on 8" wide rims perfectly. The 10" wide rims were fine but they did stick out a touch. Not sure if your Scout axles are the same width as my Wagoneer axles.

Just out of curiosity, which jeep is it for? I may have missed it.

Those are gorgeous. I'd love to learn to weld just to see if I can develop skills to do something even close to that.

Those genrights look really nice. Seems like a good price for that much product. The vent is awesome for cooling too. The compound curves look pretty slick. It seems like half of any jeep build is waiting for UPS!

Thanks, JMack
I'd love to learn to weld too, I'm tired of grinding! The tubes in the pictures had to be cut apart and rewelded because the bends didn't happen like I wanted. I'm not really that good, just persistent!

What type of bender did you use to build them?

I have a JD2 model 3. So far I've got dies for 1-3/4", 1-1/2", and 1". It works pretty good, but it may take me a while before I'm any good with multiple bends on different angles.

What size tubing did you use for the fenders? 1"?
