Re: Best FENDER FLARE ??
Those two are great choices. If you go with the Bushwacker Pocket
flares, buy some real stainless hardware seperately. Theirs is cheap
plated BS. Once you screw them in during installation, you breach the
cheap plate and they begin to rust.

Re: Best FENDER FLARE ??
I see and have Bushwacker flares (the Pocket style) installed on client
(new Jeep dealers) Jeeps all the time because many of my customers like
their looks. But in my opinion, they're the cheapest made and the most
likely to break of any of them. I've had Tera, Bestop, and Warn flares
on my own Jeep and would use any of them before Bushwacker. Warn's and
Tera's (not sure if Tera still sells them though) are the same exact
flare and are the strongest of them all in my opinion.

Re: Best FENDER FLARE ??
Guys, thanks for your input and Jerry nice to "ear" from you again.
You know, here in Portugal is very difficult (and expensive) to get all kind
of goodies for my TJ, so I need all the help I can get from the group.
In fact I have the same opinion about the Bushwackers: the look is great but
it seams that they'll break if lean against a tree or a rock, so I'll try
to take a look on the Warn or Bestop ones.
Thanks and drive safely,
