Thanks for the review! I was looking for fenders and saw the KBD's and then found your video. Apparently these are made (injection mold) right on premises at KBD in Chino, CA.
I appreciate this video so much! Ordered 2 sets after watching this. Was looking at these fenders for mine and my girlfriends jeep and your the only review with them being so new!
Just got mine yesterday. Did you have the inners on first or do you think it matters? My inners from Ace aren't here yet so wondering if flares should go on first or wait for inners. Thanks
@@jrlaflame6572 Hey! They are okay out of the box, I would recommend plasti-dipping them or coating them in something! Other than that, I would recommend them!
The KBD are the best Jeep fenders on the market, indestructible on the trail. They make them for the JK, JL and the Gladiator will be released anytime now. All USA made too!!!
These look nice wow. Sure plastic, but actually reading that the metal fenders big issue is that if they absorb enough of an impact, they;ll distribute that impact to that sheet metal they're attached to causing major body damage. So then you have damaged expensive metal fenders to replace, and now body damage to deal with. With these, they'll get scuffed and break, and ya you can just buy new ones. Prob need to go through 3-4 sets of these to match the cost of 1 set of poison spyders, etc.
FYI...you probably cut it off already, but anyone that buys these: That section he talks about cutting of, is for mounting an LED side marker light. In some states you have to have one to be legal.
True. For me, in SC, its not a big deal. If I were to mount a side marker I still think I would rather mount it somewhere else. Probably on the inner fender somewhere. That little peace bothered me to much to leave it.
Sorry I’m late to ask a question, I’m wanting to order them tonight... do they require any drilling or do they use holes from the original fenders? Thanks appreciate it 👍🏻
also when you pull out the stock fenders does the inner fender come out with that too? Do you have to put the inner fender back on if that is the case?
Top is a Rampage tonneau top. I've had it about a year and have been very happy with it. It leaks a little but I've had 13 jeeps and they all leaked in some way.
Nice build! I have a 2016 Hard Rock Rubi that looks almost identical. I was going to go with the Rough Country steel tube flares, but I like these better and my wallet will like them too. What brand of shelf is that in the rear?
The rackbis from Rusty's Off Road, I really like their products. These flares are holding there shape well but they have faded. I'm thinking about "rhino" lining them.
I’m going with these! Thanks for the review. What brand side rails are those?? I’ve been looking for some nice ones and you have exactly the look I’m going for!
I would not recommend painting them, I tried at a paint shop, said they were one of the hardest things they have painted, soakedup paint like rubber and have lots of air bubbles under the lip
I still have them on the Jeep. They faded, and I sprayed them Herculiner, but I still have to keep some form of tire shine on them. They have kept their shape well, tho.
Yes, it has a 3.25 Rusty's Offroad lift and 37" tires. Stay tuned for an update on these flares, I sprayed them with Herculiner because they were faded.
