What do you mean by "work" ?
They are just a fender...YES they are stronger, not they do not give you any more clearance than a TJ flare. I wouldent have tube fenders on my Jeep if I dident crush my old ones.... not to mention they were rusted. ------------------------------  93 YJ, 35" MT/Rs, 5.5" lift, HP D44 front, D44 rear, 4:1 tera low, locked, geared, dented and scarred.06 Ranger 4x4. |

DangerMan, I do not have the tools to do this. I saw in 4wd.com that the fenders need no fender cutting needed. It seems that Smittybilt Rock Crawler Fenders already have the skirt(?!) If this is correct, HOW CONVENIENT!
Renegade, what I meant by 'do they really work' is are they really "tough"? (anyway, you answered my question). I have a YJ, can a TJ fender (more clearance) fit my YJ? What brand did of Tube Fender did you get? Jecr |

a TJ tuber fender and YJ tube fender offer the same amount of clearance. Also a TJ fender wont work on a YJ.
I have Rev1 fenders:  ------------------------------ 93 YJ, 35" MT/Rs, 5.5" lift, HP D44 front, D44 rear, 4:1 tera low, locked, geared, dented and scarred.06 Ranger 4x4. |

You can easily make some just may not want to make them like mine. I did mine to cover the tires and keep down the mud and water on my mirrors and windows. So far they have held up.

Renegade,Upnover,jeepweezer, did all of you guys cut your the whole upper plate of the fender and retained the wheelwell only? or did you retain a small portion of the upper plate(just like how Poison Spyder described).
jeepweezer, that's really a biggie! aren't you having difficulty in the curves or tight turns? Jecr |

Mine (Rev1's) are a full replacement fender. Just un-bolt your new one and bolt on the Rev1's.

I just received a set from Poison Spyder w/ the flare. Very heavy & strong - nice welds too. I'm very happy. I haven't had a chance to install yet, but looks to be fairly straight forward.
