Hi all,
So at my local car wrecker who buys jeeps, they are buying fenders for Tj’s from somewhere which is much cheaper. I have a feeling is alieexpress or somewhere in china. They aren’t crown or another known brand. They use these to rebuild jeeps and after handling them they are perfect.

Does anyone know a good source to get cheap parts from elsewhere? The wrecker wants 250 per side (Canadian) so I’m sure they get them much lower.

Thanks for the ideas ahead of time.
 
Are you absolutely positive they aren't just any brand that makes OEM style flares? Crown, OMIX, Rugged Ridge... I don't know that they would have any discernible markings on them. All of them run around $120 (USD) for a set of four. If they're actually getting away charging that much that's crazy.

Positive. Next time I’m there I’ll take a picture of the box but yeah. And they are identical to the ones by crown OMIX, etc.
120 for a set of 4? I believe you are referring to the fender flares. I’m talking about the actual front fenders.

Just realized I wrote flare in the title. My bad

Ahh okay, makes more sense now. Honestly that's pretty good price. There's this thread from a few years back where someone was able to find replacements for 130 each.
