I was strongly considering those, for both paint/body protection, but also thought it might clean up the exposed look in that area.

Have a pic a bit further away?

Changed my oil today. I used Pennzoil Platinum 5w30. Zero W does no good down here, the 30w is extra protection on 100 degree plus days that we are already getting.

XR fender trim extensions installed.

You know at first when I saw these XR extensions I thought they were terrible, but now I'm not so sure, so thanks for this shot!

And I wonder if they'll cut down on all the crap that gets thrown at my rear fender flares. Mine are so pitted from all the rocks and stuff

I think they will help with the water spray, but I'm not sure about stones hitting the rear fenders. Mud flaps would work better, or a set of step/sliders that go out further?

I would go with the ARB sliders. Before doing the fender chop, I was going to do the XR extensions. I still think it would be a great combo.

Yeah, not a fan of mud flaps. I'd much rather have the pits, thank you ;) This is also why I didn't go with painted fenders. I'll just replace or remove eventually. You're right on the spray I think, will help in the winter. I always have a giant triangle of slushy salt crap on my doors until I can convince myself to go freeze in the self serve car wash to get it off, which happens less often than it should.

I did end up getting the newer Mopar sliders which do stick out a bit more than the original stock ones, so that helped me some.

Those do look nice đź‘Ť

:fist bump:

Not a fan of the mud flaps either, but these didn't look too bad so if they help great.

There have been many times that I lament not getting the painted fenders. I think they look great. Just need to put some heavy clear bra on the leading edges. My black fenders have rubbed a number of times though, so touchup paint would be required.

You can't tease us. We need different angles of this thing
Lol, I had every intention on washing her and taking some better pics when I got off work but I forgot I had practice tonight. It's 99.9% stock right now. I've been buying parts since I picked up my JLR about a month and a half ago but with delays and backorders it's gonna be a wild stretch because it looks like a bunch of stuff is going to come in all at once now.
