Anyone installed Rubi front fenders on Sport?

Anyone swap out their front fenders on their sport with Rubicon fenders?

Pics if done and any comments.

Pics will just look like a Rubicon....??

Oh and these SHOULD actually be cheaper at the dealer due to shipping if bought online

 

[Willys2Gladiator]

Do they come with the inner liner or do you swap over the sports? I assume the lights are a direct swap over.

Any other items to take in concideration?

 

[BigRed97]

I believe the front inners are the same and back MAY be different but I cannot say for sure.

They don't come with inners as far as I know

For lights if you get the LED you have to enable them with Tazer or similar, or have the dealer to it

I think it's more complicated than this. If you have the existing halogen DRLs (max tow does), the light harness is plug and play but you need the tazer to enable the LED DRLs, dealership is not able to do this as far as I know. If you have a non DRL model, wiring may be more difficult as there is not an additional wire in the harness for the DRL.

Wasn't aware, thanks for the correction

Mine is a Max tow so I just threw the leds in and set it for led with the tazer

Are Rubicon rears also higher than Sport?

Also interested in this. Haven't been able to find much on the Gladiators. I know on the Wranglers they are.

Yes, the rears have more clearance on the rubi flare. The top of the flare might not sit any higher relative to the beds top, but the flare itself isn't as tall/thick. You can see this difference on the jeep build site

Ok. I think the Juice isn't worth the squeeze on this mod.

Thanks for all the input.

So, it might look odd to have different clearances front to back, i.e. need to replace front and rears together.

I doubt you'd notice much to be honest. Even on the Rubicon the front flare openings look quite a bit larger than the rears due to the massive amount of flex the front axle has with the sway bar disconnected

I was looking through a thread on here a couple of days ago and someone had a max tow sport and got the Rubicon body color fenders on it. But I tried to find it and couldn't.

I have some rubicon fenders on the way with led lights in them. Plan is to do the American adventure labs chop at some point. So might just see if the halogen lights will fit in the rubicon fenders.
