I was thinking of converting my fenders i have now into tube fenders. i just want to know how the steel of the fender holds up, it feels sturdy but when you look at a cut fender people make on there own also, the fender ends up looking flimsy, but im just wondering how it will hold up with the cut, i just dont want it to be able to bend easily meaning that when i put the tubing on the outside it wont bend a little bit. If this helps at all my jeep is a cj7. I feel it will defiantly be strong enough but i want to be sure and here what people have to say with there fenders.
