How ell do fiberglass body parts hold up to rockcrawling? I am thinking of putting on new fenders on the bronco and I was considering using fiberglass front fenders and grill, anybody have some insight?

i'd guess it depends on yer drivin style:D i've cut on my jeep and covered whats left of the tub with diamond plate cuz i use the body for pivot turns. If you drive a bit more technical, they hold up pretty well. I don't know 'bout Bronco parts, but the glass jeep ones i've seen have been all up and down the quality scale. Some looked perfect and strong, others wavy and thin.

Works fine if you have an external cage.
