I thought I saw a post yesterday with a pic of the Bushwacker flat fenders on a JL at a meet, now I can't find the post...

Right on man, thank you. I put an order in today for them from CariD. Suppose to ship by Friday or Monday. Everyone else online says a few weeks and Bushwacker just want you to leave a message and have not yet responded to my email, but CariD put me on hold and said "I called Bushwacker, and we will be able to drop ship within 5 business days". I'm not holding my breath, but we shall see.

Wow! I would be surprised as well. I didn't realize they were listed for the JL yet.

The bumper is supposed to be released mid September

FWIW, I asked about the lights they had installed (because I didn't care for them) and was told they are easy to remove and would only be one hole (if I recall correctly). It seemed easy to add whatever lights you want.

Are they wider than the stock fenders for more coverage?

here's a view from the side. I think the tires were 37", so not sure how much wider they are than stock or 33'.

In that view, it almost looks like the rear is wider than the front, but the damage from rocks would mostly be from the front. The backspacing could be way different as well as wheel spacers making the tires stick out farther too.

That stinks. I was hoping that wasn't the case. It seems to be around the same time that the front and rear bumper will be ready for purchase.
