I do wonder a little if im not happy with the BW, how difficult it would be to swap the fenders themselves to the RR Max Terrains and just keep the BW lights since they use the same form and fit.
Thats exactly what i did. Looks the same to me, im just struggling lining up driver side gaps on light
Now that’s incentive enough to stay Bushwacker. It’s strange that the Rugged Ridge are actually (nominally however), more expensive than Bushwacker setup. While many of you probably don’t know this, the AAL and BW lighting is a diffused setup and has a more functional sequential style while the RR is more noticeable and shows dead spots between each of the LEDs. That little bit of detail makes them stand apart.
There may be an indication as to why places like XT and Off Road Elmer’s have plenty RR available and abW is consistently sold out or backordered. And while those of you with Max Terrains swear by the fact they are more impervious to rock and less prone to breaking under stress (not including the shared instructions), you still have to buy replacements while BW guarantees a limited lifetime warranty and will ship out a replacement set without question. Sometimes knowing a company will go above and beyond is an indication of them standing behind their products. Should I mention too that BW has been in business since 1967 while RR has been around since 2005?Now that’s incentive enough to stay Bushwacker.

i agree but hopefully i get to continue the BW warranty even tho they replaced my Bw’s w/ RR’s ?
Who swore by? I have Max Terrains because the Hyperforms had a lead time everywhere. Pretty sure they are the same thing in a different box.
Side topic… how do you like your Nittos? I was struggling between Nitto Ridge or Recon versus Mickey Baja Boss (35x12.5R17, coming from 32x10R17)… there was a noticeable difference in ride quality and road noise. Love my Mickeys but they’re not necessarily a budget build tire. Keep in mind, I am already on a 4” TeraFlex lift… this is why I have been sitting on higher fenders versus going to a 5-6” Metal Cloak lift. Here’s before and now…. You can see why I opted between these 2 fender brands. ?Here are the RR’s installed on the BW brackets and lights. Im still at work and jeep looks like it should 20mi dirt and 200mi/day week ?
This is my first set on the jeep but I have had great luck on my F250 w/ them. These and Toyo RT I have stretched out to 80K mi on a set rotating/bal at every oil change. They are quiet and i dont see many flats if any. The downside on a jeep is they are pretty heavy. Went from BFG KM2 35x12.50 to these Nittos and had a immediate drop in mpg’s and OD is only off a smidge. They are alot heavier.Side topic… how do you like your Nittos?

Are the RRs more durable than the BW? I'm looking for that exact look, trying to decide whether to get RRs, BW, or mopar high line and chop them.Here are the RR’s installed on the BW brackets and lights. Im still at work and jeep looks like it should 20mi dirt and 200mi/day week ?
Nope, they’re the same garbage plastic. I want to do the the mopar oem rubi flares but cost to buy is kind of high, and hard to find second hand. plus the cost of the chop.
