Flat fender Jeeps starting the off-roading craze over 75 years ago. Since then, these vehicles have been fully restored to stock at one end of the spectrum, and completely modified with tube chassis, coil over suspension, and V8 engines at the other end of the spectrum. Recently, there has been a resurgence of interest in wheel stock, or near stock, flat fenders. Are they as capable on the trail as a new Jeep Wrangler Rubicon? Nope, but they are arguably more interesting, and they cost just a fraction as much as a new Jeep or UTV. You could make an argument that flat fenders are the original side-by-side… and in fact this one rides on 32-inch Nitto Trail Grappler SXS tires!
