Which brands to stay away from for bumpers and fender flares

[MissTrish]

I'm looking to replace my bumpers and fender flares but i would like to know which brands are best (or worst). Thx in advance!

I have Bushwacker fenders and would never buy them again.

I have smittybilt and love them.

Bushwacker is crap, that's for sure.

I'd also stay away from Shittybilt (Smittybilt), EAG, and any of the other Chinese brands.

The only stuff I would run would be from GenRight, Savvy, JCR, Clayton, or other AMERICAN MADE companies.

In addition, I'd never run a bumper or armor that wasn't aluminum. In your case, I'd go with a GenRight aluminum bumper and GenRight aluminum fenders.

Thank you, Chris. This is the exact answer i was looking for. I'm so glad you mentioned American-made because that's exactly what I'm looking for.

Genright and Savvy are the cream of the crop. Buy once, cry once.

Take in consideration the JK/JK could really benefit from a healthy diet of aluminum...just sayin.

I have these Warrior Fender Flares on my TJ, and will eventually get them on the JK as well.

100% USA Made. They are Vet owned and hire military vets as often as possible.

I can 100% tell you, the flares on my TJ are rock solid. They are steel not aluminum, but I stand on them toget To things, and they are solid!

Nemesis has some very nice parts.

My AEV bumpers are stout, but not exactly, um, "svelte" on the scale.

I bought Smittybilts and the rear ones don’t fit right... waste of money

Thank you. I have been looking at the options and would rather spend more $ to buy American and avoid the crap from China.

Yep, avoid all the Chinese crap if you can. Some stuff they make okay (i.e. electronics), but when it comes to bumpers, armor, suspension components, etc., it's crap compared to the good, American made stuff.
