Repair or replace

[Alski]

It’s time to repair the MINOR body work on my TJ fenders again. (Every 3 years or so) Curious if you guys try your best to stay on top of it - or just replace them? I’m not a fan of the flat style, I like my pocket style Bushwackers. I have no problem doing the bodywork and making them look nice again. I’m just wondering if the majority do the same - cheers.

Are you asking about rusted fenders or faded fender flares?

Rusted fenders. Goin flat style would eliminate the issue permanently but not a fan

I replaced and fixed the root cause of why they rust.....put generous amounts of seam sealer in all the right places on the underside of the fender.

The first time was the factory's fault.
After that, it was on you.

My time is with something. Replace within less rusty option and powder coat, fluid film, POR 15, whatever. Rust sucks. So does body work and paint.

It depends on the size of the repair for me. I had a dime size spot start 5 years ago. I just fixed it recently and sealed the brace underneath.

Fair enough. I let the first time go a little bit. I’ll send a pic. It’s not that bad but thinking it’s time to remedy this issue.
