I agree I removed it as well. I also noticed after I washed stuff would stay in the folds of rubber. Looked horrible even after washing it. Now I just my air hose or pressure washer to get stuff out. Works just fine without those silly rubber hoses.
Thanks for the feedback guys! Thought we had an option for that - dang.

Be careful the fixture Sockets (tombstones) used in T8 fluorecent fixtures are not rated for line voltage you need to replace those as well, it is a potential fire hazard.
Can you explain? The LED tubes have their own LED drivers to regulate the current.

I have done more than 100 miles of gravel roads in the last 2 weeks, not a single rock or pebble in the
Waste of time and money. I had driven over 100 miles of gravel roads in the last two weeks my seams are clean (except dirt that washes out), Like I said I installed the rubber last year it lasted a couple months before it started coming out. I removed the rubber 2 months ago.

You have a Sahara, right? Did you install the Rubicon fenders or something? I don't know why a non-Rubicon would need the seam filled.
Why would that make a difference? I get pebbles stuck in the fenders on my Moab all the time, I just power-wash them out one in a while.

I CANNOT wait for the dip spit picture! :LOL:
I posted it above! You can’t even see it, only the mysterious blue ink that I guess was also in the cup with the spit. It definitely wasn’t bleed off from my jeans; I haven’t worn jeans in my jeep in weeks or anything else blue. Also, there was so much blue ink that I could sop it up with a towel. It definitely came from the cup I spilled, I just don’t know what it was.

The overall shape is the same the flair bends down just like the Rubicon does, it is the same senario on both there is a wedge gap where flair meets fender.
Please explain why only a Rubicon needs the wedge.seam filled (are rocks more attracted to the Rubicon)?

The only difference ( if I recall correctly) between flairs is the Rubicon sits 1.25" higher so it has a deeper indentation for the hood locks the rest of the shape is basically the same including the "V" of the seam. Keep in mind that Only applies to the fronts rears are the same on both

Thank you. Yes, I've been studying your and someone else's EAG Door thread. I will add your advice above, to my pile. :) I might ping you if I run into issues.
No problem, feel free to send a PM. Glad to help if I can. I learned a lot from @swimman from my thread, a good dude for sure.

I get rocks in my rears all the time. Annoying. And OMG it’s not a Rubicon! Imagine that shit..

Rear flares are not the same on both.
