I do like my quake fender chop led’s, they have been solid so far. And yea those are the rugged ridge rear li era that I am using. I went that way versus aluminum due to me installing a rock jock anti rock rear swaybar.
Can you post some close up pictures of the rugged ridge rear fender liners those are the ones I will probably go with I am not real crazy about the aluminum inner fenders are they pretty easy to put on and how’s the fit

Going to be doing the Quake LED Chop this weekend actually but with the thicker ones. Once i get them in i'll post some pics, but I really liked the look in person when I saw them in person at jeep beach.

I’ve been eyeing this version too. Everyone has the other Kind plus I’m not a fan of sequential signals. Let me know you how like them!

I think it’s interesting that AA Labs made such a big deal to me about how none of their components are made in China like Quake yet their quality issues are abundant. I went with Quake due to lead time and have none of the issues I’ve seen with AA Labs kit

Way faster to install the rugged ridge rears than to remove the oem inner liners.

Do not chop. Get a proper lift and fit 37’s easily. Going the chop route makes your fenders and wheel well liners look butchered and the accompanying spacer lift is not the right way to gain clearance. For a level it’s fine but if the goal is to fit larger tires, get a legit designed lift kit from a reputable company. It never ceases to amaze me how folks drop $50k on a JT but then baulk at doing the suspension the correct way, imho.
Different strokes for different folks. I have 3.5” lift, 3” bumpstops, and my 35s would still alleviate my fenders of their duties if I had to cut the wheel at the wrong time. That, and I’m already burning almost an inch of uptravel. Def a fender chop in my future.

Who’s lift do you have? Companies vary greatly in terms of how much lift (and flex) they provide in the real world. I have an acquaintance running 40’s on a 3.5”Clayton off-road plus lift. I’m sure he could rub if he really crossed it up but 35’s on his rig would look like someone skipped leg day.

Bad pic but I did a fender chop with Quake lights and custom inner fenders.
That’s sharp I decide on the quake fender chop kit lights also I am in the process of getting everything bought

Awesome! I was able to do it all by myself but did hesitate to take a razorblade to the tabs on my fenders. Could've done a better job but you have to look really close to see it!

After I cut the tabs off I took a file and smoothed everything out I am not using the fenders on my gladiator they are the black textured fenders I have another set of fenders that I am having painted to match my Jeep that’s the set I am using for the fender chop

Don't know if you have found the ideas you are looking for @tbaker but here's my budget ($40) chop so far. Only left that I'm doing tomorrow, is taping off and spraying the white stuff that I don't like, BLACK
Below is Oracle pod light for DRL/turn signals

What did you use for the fender support on the front fenders that all looks good

Thank you. The supports are just some scrap nylon 1"x 1", cut to length and bolted in place from underneath.
