    JB's TJ

    97 TJ. Bought Thursday, rolled Satruday. I already have it all torn down and ready for new parts.

    Need tube fenders. I am pretty overwhelmed with the options out there, but I think I got it narrowed down. Biggest choice is either the stock location fenders or high clearance fenders. The stock height fenders still get you 2-3" of extra clearance, but essentially take up the same space. The high clearance fenders require cutting 3" out of hood. Plan is to keep Jeep as low as possible, so I am leaning towards the Hy-lines/Hy-fenders/XC etc. style

    Pictures below are TNT Customs. These are the nicest, as they come with inner fenders. They are also not cheap. All of the other brands (PSC, Rockmen, Gen Right) sell the inner fender kit seperatley, stating that you CAN reuse the stock inner fenders, but you have to hack it all up to make it work. I will have to see how they attach when I get back to SA.

    Wow, I didn't realize tube fenders cost that much. I would go with the high ones that require cutting the hood. As for the inner fenders, any pictures, does it look like a hack job?

    I would go with the hi-line fenders and something with some sort of a flare.

    I really like these

    I got a free windshield frame with broken glass in much better shape then mine. Kid down the street has a TJ and had an extra. Got that done. Just need a hood now. Going to take the body lift off next week and order some fenders.

    Thoughts on putting plexiglass in the window instead of glass?

    It'll get scratched and faded and probably just end up pissing you off.

    It also won't break in a roll over and you can replace it every couple of years...

    plexiglass can be fairly scratch resistant, at least when compared to lexan, but I think it would still break in a roll-over. Also scratches in plexiglass can be sanded and buff'ed out.


    Lexan is much stronger if you are concerned about roll-overs, but more prone to scratches and dis-coloring. Pretty much the only reason race-cars use lexan is the strength.
