I with you guys, I like the fronts, not sold on the rears, but there is a ton of rears out there that would still look good with the artec fronts

I don't know of any aluminum rear flares that would match the style besides their own. You'd have to go steel rears I believe if you wanted to match them (at least close).

I emailed Artec and asked if you could use factory inners but they didn't know. They had only installed them with their inners. So if you're using their fenders and inners, there would be no need for cutting up your factory fenders.

I just didn’t know if I would have room for my Evap and cruise control

It appears to maintain the factory mounting locations for those. They're not hi-lines, so everything should fit. I don't have cruise so I don't have to worry about that.

Nice,when mine rust out,will go with these

If they follow the factory hood line you could probably use a stock inner fender if you are willing to cut and weld on them to follow the artec lines.

I've had my eye on these as well. My Chinese flat fenders are shedding paint and I don't want to spend the time to sandblast and paint them

Cavfab, motobilt, both don’t look bad and motobilt is aluminum

The cavfab matches, but the Motobilt don't in my opinion. But neither of those are aluminum. Motobilt only has aluminum fronts. At least as far as I've ever seen and can find on their website.

There starting to grow on me but I wish the rear came down further

For the price for front and rear fenders they maybe hard to beat and there typically on sale on holidays

I agree, this is where I'm at. The price difference might be enough to convince me to just go with them. I mean fronts (with inners) and rears are like half the price of GRs front and rear without front inners. That would cover the price of corner and tailgate armor. Though I don't like Artec's corner armor because it's cut out around the hinges.

I also agree with you, I’ve had the whole genright set up in my cart forever just never pulled the trigger, I curious after he installs the passenger side how the install was and his thoughts

It can possibly work but I don’t see how you will be able to tie in factory inner together with the artec outer fender. Artec ties the inner fender and outer together twice.

There’s three holes available at the top. One them is in the right spot to bolt down my washer fluid.

What is your initial thoughts on these? How’s everything line up?

Cut and welding will do it but the inners are not that expensive

I went with flux off road corner armor

I probably won’t get around to passenger side until 2 weeks from now

@06TJ35's , what intake are you running? I forgot that Artec also couldn't tell me if a stock intake would work. I'd like to eventually do an aerostar but would like to run the stock for a while.

I like them. Something different that doesn’t break the bank!

I wish they came up a little more. It looks like I’m going to have a gap compared to the stock flares.

Stock. I’ll post pictures when I get to the other side. I suspect them to have holes for everything. Hopefully.
