I want some poke on my bronco and don’t want to go wider. Can I bolt some standard fenders / quarters and squatch flares on a raptor? Would the tires crush them?

The Raptor quarter panels are different than the other Bronco models. They did that to accommodate the bigger fender flares and how they had to be mounted.

Is that vendor any relation to the hardtop debacle ADV? Not sure if they're still around.

I always thought the wider fenders on the Raptor gave room for the long arm suspension travel, but I don't know that for sure. Plus the axles are actually wider right?

Yes. Don’t buy anything from these crooks.
The axles and much of the suspension on the Bronco Raptor are the ones that the F150 Raptor uses. They are definitely wider than the standard Bronco axles.I always thought the wider fenders on the Raptor gave room for the long arm suspension travel, but I don't know that for sure.

OnlyFans, $39.99
They’re still in business. Hardtop division is not. Just bought another set of fenders from them for the long travel build. +8” this time.
Quality is still excellent. Turn around time still great. Customer service on point after we lost one piece of the +5” kit experimenting with extending the wheelbase an inch and the tire hit it.
Looking at as much information on the hardtop debacle as is available, it is my opinion that ADV was also a victim in this. They hired APG to build the tops, in the US, and gave them over $4M as APG continued needing funding for the project for “tooling” and materials. Then randomly APG says the tops need to be manufactured in China as they won’t be able to do it and turn a profit. Where did all their tooling go?! Coincidentally, they also bought several broncos and developed their long travel setup, and partnered with an onlyfans influencer to push the new ultimate platform. This whole time ADV is giving full refunds to every customer that asks. Not even taking back the credit card processing fees and taking a loss on every refund. For comparison - If you order a top from Armadillo, and cancel the order, they keep something like 20% of your $8000 top.
Fast forward and APG pulls the carpet out from ADV. They said they owned the patents and are cutting ADV out. After being bled out from both ends between refunds and “tooling” ADV hardtops were over, and as horrible as it is, stopped providing refunds. Much anger follows, including quite the thread on the forum. APG actually came on to the forum to state that they never told customers to put deposits down as they isn’t how they conduct their business. (Paraphrasing) When the screenshots showed up from their own account that proved this to be a lie, they scrubbed everything from their threads and went quiet. Not exactly behavior of the innocent, in my opinion.
We’ll see what happens with the lawsuit ADV is currently engaged in against APG.
And just to reiterate I completely understand why people are upset with ADV with this whole ordeal, and wouldn’t hold any ill-opinion of them for being beyond pissed off receiving no hardtop or refund. I’m simply providing a perspective that is an attempt to look at the whole scenario without bias clouded by a huge financial hit.
