That would be amazing if you still have those!

Well I tore the garage apart and no sign of them.

One can assume it's somewhere sitting with my missing ratchet, 15mm socket and right sock. Maybe I should be checking my dryer as I think it leads to The Dimension of Missing Things.

Thank you for looking and no worries I’m sure someone will stumble on this thread and might have one you might find it along with your 15mm.

Somebody needs to get a pair of those things and scan them so people with 3D printers can make them on demand. When mind broke I was able to repair it using some of the "plastic welding" techniques found on the interwebz. Soldering iron, steel wool, lighter, zip ties, lots of patience...

Are your fenders chopped? I found a set of Rubi fenders, did the chop and no longer needed those supports.

yea the brackets arent 100% necessary but some people dont like the floppy fenders or think they are gonna break. I can see the painted version maybe start to crack the paint but very unlikely.

That's fair. I've never noticed them flopping around but I do have the AAL fender bracket in the front that seems to keep it pretty stable.

Yea mine doesnt flop either unless you push on it, but I can see some people being paranoid. Like all the people freaking out about dragging under parts in that stock rubi on cliffhanger thread lol

If I remember correctly Benny from @AllMoparParts.com had confirmed it was not available separately. But you could double check with him here if you haven’t all ready.

When I chopped my painted fenders I did modify and keep the bracket because @Roky who’s one of the cool kids and @Headbarcode who‘s cool but seems to be MIA both did. I probably do lots of unnecessary things. But my Jeep is fast…like exceptionally fast I’m told and I was worried about aerodynamics and fender flutter. Now I feel like you’re implying my Jeep isn’t fast.

For real someone needs to.

The mistake I made was sticking my head out the window and watched the fender flop around like a fish outta water at 75-80 mph….And, with my OCD, I had to shut that shit down……. Put a brace in, don’t put a brace in, I don’t care, I’ll back you either way….
