Tube Fender Flares

I have searched with no luck....im in the process of building front and rear bumpers for my WJ...since i have the Rock sliders already on i have been thinking of making tube fender flares that tie into the bumpers to the sliders...seeing as how the body seems to be a magnet when out on the trail....has anyone on here done this already? im basically trying to run a 285/75/17 with only a 3inch lift...i intend on cutting the wheel wells and adding in the flares...but no one that i have found makes anything structural...im not trying to have it strong enough to lay it on its side and take no damage...but maybe rub a tree or an embankment with it not crinkeling the fender or quarter...ideas? pics if already been done?....thanks
