Fiberglass looks good but won't last long off road. Next ones I buy are gonna be flex no doubt!!

BTW look over in the thread "what have you done to your Bronco today" and last week or so member on here Mikkee73 just put some nice looking ones on his;)

I went with a pair of fiberglass ones recently from Bronco designs. They were 100 percent better than the other ones I had bought from the bronco hut. No bash here. I really like the bronco hut. but for fiberglass bronco designs is a way better product. I do know the crazy horse flares are no longer produced.

Just did my WH Warflares. Love'm.

Get you some. You'll be glad you did.
Just ran mine through a ton of brush in the Ocala forest. You can't even tell. They do not have a single scratch and they were tugged and snagged at all day Saturday.
If I was still running the fiberglass flares they would have been shredded.

Does anyone make a steel flare that can be welded in on the rear to match the front? I've seen the the threads that talk about cutting front fender apart and adapting to rear, but that's not easy when you don't have an abundance of EB'S around and don't want to buy new to just cut it apart. The rear quarter panels are 495 a piece. That's out of my price range.

Cutting them out of front fenders or the BAB quarters are the only way right now. I wish someone did make them but it would be pretty tough to make a one size fits all as there are multiple sized flare cutouts and positions.

I wish. If I could buy a steel flair that looked like the fiberglass flair i just bought there would be no question about what I would buy. I tried to build them once and they would cost too much . I was trying to built them as a full qt panel but a graft on flair would be a better way to go.

No metal flares for me. I like the fact that my flares flex out of the way rather than scratch and dent.

Well with that said I'm looking for a passenger side front fender with a good flare to be cut off.

I'm planning the WH Warflares. They seem to be the best bang for the buck. I have a long history of tearing up fiberglass stuff...

Ok first off I know there a lot of flares out there lookin for pics and the pros and cons of them

Well i've had a few nego comments on my gorilla warfares but the options were few for my application. I can say you don't have to stay with the correct shape for the warfares, there very flexible! I made mine work with some creativity---so I was happy with that. The positive Is you can't jack them up, there so flexible. I personally think the warfares and the bushwackers have the best look. Durability speaking warefares win! Just my 02 cents
