Aftermarket Fender Flares for JL Wrangler?

[Mr. Beef Chief]

Dude you are the one who chimed in claiming they work. Did you specify what vehicle you had at first or what lights? What are we all psychics?

If they "work for me" you should assume that I don't have the LED package. Also, you don't have to be a psychic to figure this stuff out..

my vote is for the Road Armour out of all the ones so far. I would be fine with the stock ones but if you look at them wrong they fall off. knocked off one of my rears already and hardly touched it. The clips are a nightmare. I have a rubicon so the led thing is an issue for sure although I do have a JL tazer and you can choose what type of fender light (led or halogen) you want to use so that might be an option. I guess I'll stock up on the shitty clips till theres a good option. My other issue with the stock front fenders is all the little rocks and mud that get wedged between the fender and the body.

GOOD NEWS** New JL Fenders

DV8 Off Road has released a set JL Slim Fenders. They have an integrated turn signal and they are made from steel. I think like the clean look. I have a shop in South Florida that will be getting them in next week, planning on picking up a set from them. LMK what you guys think about these.

This looks great and complements the exterior. I need to look for something similar to this to replace the bolt style I got from 4wheelonline.

Spoke with a rep on Instagram today, said they should be coming out in a couple weeks. Guess we'll see

Iron Cross Automotive has some pretty mean fenders with an expected release date sometime in late September. I'm leaning towards these or Fabtech's set, that is if they ever announce a release date..

Yeah I’m doing Iron Cross. My main thing is the price point. In the mid $600s so when some better comes along a year or two from now, I won’t feel bad about replacing them. Plus that granite/black combo looks great! I just know it will look nice on my Jeep with the fenders coated the same black as my rims and bumpers!

Yeah they will look amazing on your set up

Personally I want Fabtechs. Great look and price. Would love an actual release date though

Iron Cross isn't releasing their fenders until SEMA at the end of October

Here's a first look at our JL Narrow Fender prototypes. These have running lights and turn signals integrated into the design. No ETA yet, but they are one of the top priorities on our new product list.

Thank you.

Those are going to look pretty sweet but also not for me. I actually want something wider and set up high like the Rubicon fender flares.

Thanks! I don't know that they sit higher than the top of the Rubi Flares, but they do offer more tire clearance than stock Rubi's. Once we have these narrows nailed down, we'll move to a stock width version.

Thank you,

That's a good point.. I was thinking of the height from the top of the stock fender.

Prototype Version 2.0 of our JL Fenders are finished and on our JL Sport. We're getting closer. Here's some pics:

Thank you,

Looks good, but what's the purpose/advantage of the goofy cut out on the rears? Looks uneven all the way across. Also, you could make the fronts have a slide bend to them in the middle, maybe give a tad more room when flexin.. just an idea..
