Best fender chop kit?

[JD101]

I run quake but still haven't split the fenders and have stock liners . Really cleans up the fenders . Quakes have been great fit and function. The brackets need seasonal painting up in the rust belt.

I did the quake kit. Super easy.

I had Quake slim chopped when they came out and had some issues too. But they will not reply to your IG messages for warranty issues that person is hired for strictly marketing. You have to contact them through the warranty links on thier site. Warranty replies were fast, fill out the RMA forms and send them in. I was able to pay a fraction of the cost to change out to the smoked model by keeping my old brackets and they sent me just the smoked lights to install. But again you've got to email the warranty dept.

I have reached out repeatedly to their contact us function, as well as the email in their contact info link. I am aware of how to go about reaching out re: warranty issues.


The limiting of replies on instagram was just a secondary thought process, though it does still stand out as a big red flag from a company to limit who replies to their posts. That’s usually done to limit the impact of a “oh shit” moment, and not an open policy for social media. I can’t think of another company that I have interacted with that also limits things like that.

I'll be happy to pass this request along to our team!

However, our new Elite Max Headlights include SAE-compliant turn signals built into the Max model.

3:35 - SAE-Complaint Safe Turn Signal Function if running a fender chop

If I use the max headlights on a front fender chop do I need to add any other lighting? Side markers, etc?

You do not! Since our Elite Series Max Headlights feature an SAE-compliant front turn signal, you can chop your fenders and still be within the rules of the road.

Cool idea but not an option for me since I already have the factory LED's. After reading this info I'm going to order the Quake LED lights smoked. The "yellowing" of the clear looks like shit

Thread resurrection…..

Any pics of the motobilt brackets and the small LEDs. Kinda shying away from the quake setup.

Anyone running the rugged ridge set for a while now? Curious how the LEDs faired in comparison to the AAL kits yellowing

Not an exact match, but I've had both the chopped fender kit and the stand alone lights, so this still applies. They use the same lights for both sets.

This is my set of Rugged Ridge LED Fender lights after 2 years of sitting outside in the southwest desert sun, that's over 600 days of sunlight! The only maintenance I do is a car wash with 3 in 1 wash/wax/ceramic from Griots Garage that I buy from Autozone once or twice a month.

No sign of fading or yellowing, and still shine white. My vote is for Rugged Ridge.

Lights off and lights on in the middle of the day.

did you repurpose your factory liner somehow with this or is that part of the RR fenders?

The RR kit came with a set of plastic (polypropylene) rear fenders. For the front's, RR wants you to trim the factory fender liners, but I hated the way they looked unfinished, so I went with Paramount ABS front fender liners, to keep things light and to match the rears as best as possible.

Unfortunately, the Paramount fender liners are discontinued from what I hear.

I did a write-up on the fenders here if you want to learn more about them.

Is this a new partnership and the historical issue with yellowing of the lights is warranted now?
