If you NEEDED to replace your fender flares to metal, what did you choose?

and Why?

I recently went to the 'Gateway to the Cumberlands Jeep Jamboree with a Mojave. (not Macks Toe)
While navigating the Moonshine Trail, I went through some very tight pine trees, and broke my front left turnsignal, the white rectangular DRL (If thats what it is) off the fender. The next day I knocked a clip loose on the right rear fender.
Instead of replacing them with the color matching, vulnerable plastic parts, I am going to use a Fender that is metal, and the front fenders have the same lights.
This limits my choices down quite a bit.

Items I am aware of that fit the bill are made by Metal Cloak and Barricade.

If you have experience with metal fenders on a Gladiator, please share your notes from install, how well they fit, how sturdy they are, etc.

Thanks for anyone that replies.

I hate to be 'that guy' that responds to your post without answering your question, but just be aware that metal fender flares will transfer impacts to your fenders and bedsides, possibly damaging them.

JCR. Classic style, minimalistic lighting. Some of the ones out there look just stupidly hideous. They have aluminum versions now too I believe.

Thank-You for your reply. Perhaps I mistakenly thought that some bolt to metal attached to the frame. I appreciate you sharing that with me.
