Someone posted this on my other club's site and I thought I would share. Interesting product.

I know what I'm getting for my birthday.

I read that thread on JU the other day. Nice idea. I am going to wait for a flared version to come out though.

Great idea! I didn't see anything on thier site about how they hold up in the cold.

So I sent them an email

I'll post up the response when I get it.

they only show a TJ application....bah

I wish they had options for different flare sizes. I wonder if the police will give me a hassel here in New Mexico even if I add the turn signals. What do you guys think?

Responce:

Hi Randy,

I apologize for being late to reply. Thanks a lot for your interest and compliments!

That is cold! We have tested the elasticity to as low as the upper 'teens - lower 20's temperature wise. Attached is a picture of a top piece at that temperature being flexed by hand, and the fender did pop back to original shape. That is about as far as I would want to push it though.

I would be curious to see how they would hold up in sub-zero temperatures though! Do you have a TJ that could use a free set of fenders in return for a small test with pictures? (You wouldn't need to actually destroy them, just flex them up and down and make sure everything is ok.)

Thanks,

Mike

DID YOU READ THAT??? Free fenders? Hell yeah!

Problem: I don't own a TJ

Solution: Asked if they'd fit a CJ

And offered up my buddy Jeeperwilly from my club to test them.

Damn me anyway, I should have offered up one of our MJ guys in AK!

Well, we'll see what happens.
