hey! be nice to me. and all of the above. i like their idea of the arched fender flares but i do not like their idea of pricing. i tend to be brand specific so when/if i do all my body armor the flat fenders, sliders, and corner guards will be from the same company. i'm up between metal cloak and poison spyder for armor. but i do think i'm going to get metal cloaks front bumper set up.

My homemade bumpers do pretty well.  I am now running a set of Smittybuilt sliders.  I have beat on them pretty good so far and besides some missing paint they are good.  I picked up a set of Warrior black corner guards, but I havnet got around to cuting them up to work with my flush mounted tail lights.  If you are thinking about going with Poison Spyder, make sure you check out Northridge 4x4.  They have a ton of stuff and free shipping when you spend $200 or more.  Don't forget that Armor adds a ton of weight.  Might want to check out Undercover Fab works since they make a lot of aluminum stuff.

I kind of like the arched fenders, but for them to look good you need to fill the wheel well. I've seen them on Jeeps that don't have large enough tires and all that extra space looks ugly. I'm not particular to a certain brand when it comes to armor, bumpers, fenders,etc. I look for what is on sale and what I can get used. I think they can all be mixed together and have a great look, but if you want to be brand specific that is up to you. Either one of those companies have quality products and you'll be happy with them, except for the drain on the wallet when you buy it all.

i've had poison spyder products before on the LJ and loved them. but i also like the idea of being able to run 35's with a 2" lift that metal cloak claims while running their armor

Or some really tall gears.  Something in the 4.88 or 5.13 range.

taller gears are another option but more motor is more funner

[reptile610]

agreed. with the bigger motor and taller gears. i still am thinking about an AMC 360 but a chevy 350 tbi is looking more practical
