Personally I think they should have ditched the LED fender strips and went with a high flatter fender like on the Jeep Safari concept.


I'm gonna go ahead and assume those flares are going to be a variant of the TJ ones, with the black piece that is below the lights extending the outer length of the flare to create that crease.

The led fenders are a bad idea that also look stupid. Many other safer less ugly places to put that stuff. I bet I've ripped off ten fenders in my twenty years of jeepin

I'm not a fan of the LED lights in the fenders either, but I'm not worried. The aftermarket will take care of that in a heartbeat.

JL Rubicon on order
I'm gonna reserve judgement until I see the reveal. But if it's as fugly as you think it will be, there's as good a case for blacking out the light as I've ever seen.
Blacking out these lights could be one of my first mods based on what I am seeing.

I guess it is also somewhat safe to say that the amount of people trimming JL fenders will be rather small.

I don't foresee many people sawing their LEDs lol.

In all for an LED strip and turn signal on the fender, but for god's sake can they make it look like it's from 2017/2018 ? This looks like it came off the front bumper of a 1989 Oldsmobile Eighty Eight.

Agree. But it won't happen. Most states have a legal requirement that the fender flare covers at least the tread or full tire.

Looks like fender MOD City for me if I don't want the Doc Brown Delorean look on my fenders.
