DeFender XC Flares

Poison Spyders DeFender XCs provide extreme Clearance for big tires without having to install a tall lift, maintaining a Low Center of Gravity (LCOG) and the performance benefits that come along with it. The XCs are constructed entirely of CNC laser cut, brake-formed 3\/16 plate steel for strength and style that old school tube fenders just cant match. The wheel opening on the XCs is 3 higher than standard DeFenders, providing Massive Tire Clearance with minimal lift! DeFenders are the next evolutionary step beyond tube fenders. They are fabricated entirely from 3\/16 plate, heavy duty P&O steel. CNC laser cutting and precision brake-forming yield a stronger, more functional, better-looking fender. 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. The DeFender XC with Negative Flare provides the maximum clearance for tire articulation and tight trails. We call it the Negative flare because it actually subtracts from the stock fender width, tapering inward to closely hug the edge of the Jeeps hood, leaving just enough of a fender edge to mount the hood latch and provide a beefy steel rub rail to protect the side of the hood. The Negative Flare is a great way to allow full suspension articulation while still having a beefy, armored non-highline fender. All TJ\/LJ versions of the DeFenders come with a custom bracket for lifting the stock battery tray higher, to provide the extra clearance necessary for the Defenders larger wheel opening. This bracket is CNC laser cut brake-formed and fixture-welded for an easy, clean installation.
