Tailgate Fail. Can’t believe Jeep doesn’t have an embossed tailgate! I had to pull off the cheap stick ons

I’m glad they didn’t go with a bunch of alignment holes. I appreciate the smooth tail gate.

I often remove decals/badging from my trucks. This is a good reminder to start doing this with the current Gladiator!

What is that weird thing in your rear fender well?

Yup. I did it in the hotel parking lot and put these on.

There should be 2 alignment holes under the tailgate badge.

OP looks like there aren’t … unless it was a nice fill job or just the camera angle.

I’d prefer mine without the badge but don’t want the hassle of infilling

Yeah I want to debadge once I pick mine up

I believe that is the aftermarket fender flare extension. I have thought about these however, haven't pulled the trigger on a kit yet. If I'm not mistaken, they are technicallyonly designed for the wrangler, no JT kit as of yet. Most JT owners have made them work one way or another.

Yes those are mopar recon fender flare extensions, made for the wrangler. Unfortunately, if you debadge the tailgate you’ll have to get two holes filled.

If you’re interested in the fender flare extensions there is a thread on installing them. You do need to make some adjustments since they are made for the wrangler but its pretty simple

Is Vermont tough about tire poke or did you put them on to keep the sides of the Jeep cleaner? How do you like them?

 

[OVERLORD]

Very interested in the fender extensions!

I have an Overland, I wonder if they'd fit?

I have a lil push due to my rim selection, and would like the added coverage/

Don’t think VT cares about tire poke. I saw them on a wrangler and liked them. They do seem to keep the jeep a little cleaner and used same plastic that is on the existing fender so looks oem. Here’s pic of left rear
