Does anyone make Aluminum fender flares or Fenders? I need some flares but don’t want to ad weight. I am considering fiberglass fenders but I could crack them on rocks l mostly wheel Tahoe National Forest.
I have not seen such a thing. I suspect you will have to get someone to fabricate them.
One word of warning--don't mount them directly to the sheet metal. Go look for images of rust behind the aluminum insert panels on a '57 Chevy Belair. Just add water and you too can have the same picture. You can mitigate this however. Space the aluminum from the body using 1/8" thick rubber and use stainless hardware. The rubber can be as simple as washers between the body and the aluminum panel

If you *know* you're gonna be scraping rocks go with steel. Steel vs alum flares will have a negligible weight difference and alum fenders, if you can find any, will be $$$$.
