Anyone install metal or steel fender flares and then regret doing so later?
I know the plastic ones, both factory and aftermarket, are designed to mount with plastic pins and pop off if you bump something. The metal ones that I have seen are all bolted solid to the tub. I prefer the looks of the metal ones on the market over the plastic ones, but I am concerned that if I bump a rock or a tree I will damage not only the flare, but the tub they are bolted to. On the other hand, I know a person with metal fenders on her TJ and she has flopped and even rolled it and the fenders actually held up great and probably protected the tub from any real damage.
Would just like to hear from folks that have bolted on metal fenders and what kind of issues they may have had.
Thank you
