Poison Spyder, Defenders Zero Flares, Front, Steel, (Pair)

Product Overview:
Poison Spyder raises the bar for Jeep fender armor"DeFenders are the next evolutionary step beyond "tube fenders". CNC laser cutting and precision brake-forming yield a stronger, more functional, better-looking fender than the tired, out-dated tube fender design. DeFenders provide protection to your Jeep during hard core trail use as well as increased clearance for larger tires and suspension articulation. The wheel opening is approximately 4" wider than the stock Jeep fenders, and about 3" wider than old school tube fenders.

Zero Flare:
Zero Flare DeFenders match the exterior dimensions of the Jeep's stock sheetmetal fender (not including the stock plastic flare). It has a straight edge continuing forward from the rear edge of the DeFender The Zero Flare makes a great match with non-flared Crusher Corners in the rear, to provide full-wrap armor protection without protruding beyond the edges of the Jeep's tub.

Steel or Aluminum?
DeFenders are available in either heavy duty steel or light weight aluminum (both 3/16" thick). We recommend steel for those Jeeps whose fenders are frequently in contact with the rocks. For those needing a great looking, light weight fender that's strong but not necessarily as hard core as the steel ones, aluminum is a great alternative.

Solid, "Tubeless" Construction:
DeFenders are fabricated entirely from CNC laser-cut, precision brake-formed 3/16" plate, either heavy duty P&O steel or lightweight 6061-T6 aluminum. Only one competitor manufactures a fender that's anything like the DeFender>"fabricated entirely of plate with no tubing"but their design leaves a vertical edge of the metal pointed downward, right at the tire. The DeFender has an extra "return", or lip along the underside of the fender, which provides better protection from cutting into a fully stuffed tire, while also lending extra strength to the outer edge of the fender, where it is most likely to come in contact with rocks, canyon walls, trees, etc.

Increased Front Tire Clearance:
Even on the non-highline version, the DeFender provides a much larger wheel opening than stock or some competitors' tube fenders. The back of the wheel opening, where larger tires tend to rub when the steering is at full-lock, is approximately 2" further back compared to typical tube fenders, and about 4" further back than the stock Jeep flares.
