Fender smack down! Tube fenders compared on a real Jeep

[someguysjeep]

35" wheels homemade HL's and GR inners

the wheels 7" off the ground. see the fender i raised and the bottom fold i flatted out (my patch is missing i'm doing some rework). the span at the bottom went from 5" to 3.25".

never heard of Nemesis. those look to be pretty narrow at the bottom, maybe the narrowest i've seen yet. the way the rear wall is so vertical might worry me about battery space.

Does anyone have nemesis fenders ?

They claim “Gain 4 inches of clearance above and 5 inches of clearance behind the tire (with axle in the factory location”

So that’s beats Poison spyder and Genright with 5” of clearance behind the tire with the axle being in factory location.

I wonder if their design has changed at all. In 2010 these HL fenders were not usable with a stock air filter. Back in 2010 nemesis said to cut the factory intake air tube and install a K&N filter. Blaine quickly told them why that was a bad idea. Nemesis said they were working on a way to change that but never updated. One thing I know it was $999 in 2010 and it’s still $999 in 2020.

“For the $1000 you are actually getting the fender, inner fender, new battery mount, washer bottle mount, horn mount, EGR mount, cruise control mount, and a fuse panel mount. I don't think I left anything out. We also offer charcoal cannister mounts for a 97, 98-03, and 03-06 to make the install even easier. The best part about this kit is that it requires no drilling, cutting, or welding. It is 100% bolt on.”

PS supplies new fender hangers with a HL kit.
GR sells them they are not included. all require new air boxes and smaller washer fluid jugs help too.

again with the info that the factory fender is 5" wide at the bottom you can look at almost any of the fenders and have a fair idea of the real room they move the back wall.

a fender that gives an extra 4" up in the top corner until we run square wheels it's moot. it's that bottom foot up that's the key area.

this all needs done by cycling the suspension. lift height and link length will have differing effects.
