Rubicon fender swap

[Brfertig [HACKED ACCOUNT]]

Just to clarify this, the are NOT OEM. They are aftermarket reproductions. I looked at these before I went with the factory kit. I messaged the seller directly.

I just ordered the 82215985 kit today. I am buying authentic mopar.

Now about your comment.

What you have to ask yourself is where are the reproductions getting the molds? How are there knockoff fenders, wheels, bumpers, etc. Much of our jeep has chinese parts assembled in America. You will find China stamped on your wheels, the center caps, the fenders, the steel rubicon bumper, and many more parts. Then right next to China is mopar or the pentastar mark. Don't be naive. Its an international supply chain and lots of your Jeep is made in places you don't want to admit.

I could careless where jeep/ Mopar parts are made in this context. Obviously parts are made globally for every auto manufacturer.

I was simply sharing info that i got DIRECTLY from the seller, that these are not Mopar parts. Whether they are using the same mold or not is only known by the company producing these flares. Not you, not me, not the other member that was asking about them.
You really seem to over share your self perceived knowledge ....maybe try to keep it to helpful answers and not rant about what you feel you know

Ebay fenders should work. They are the oem just not assembled. Make sure you get the lights for them. The sport s lights won't work.

why won’t they work?

 

[BigRed97]

The standard sport(s) (non Max tow) have a different size/shaped light. They won't fit with max tow, overland, or Rubi fenders

will max tow fit? That’s what I have

 

[BigRed97]

Yup they are the same light

So now there’s a conflict. 1 person saying sport S doesn’t fit, another saying they do.

There is no conflict, the Max Tow, Overland, Rubicon use the same lights. And to further blur the difference, the color-matched use the same lights too. Regular Sport and Sport S with black plastic flares use a different light that will not fit that flare. You have a Max Tow so they will fit.

@BigRed97 do you still need the tazer if i switch over to leds? i have the max tow package as well and using led bulbs currently to match my JWS headlights.

My end goal is the chopped rubi fender w/ the slim led kit.

Not sure what you're asking...

Are you asking if I'm selling mine? No I am not

@BigRed97
If i switch to led DRL, will i need a tazer?

 

[BigRed97]

@BigRed97

In general yes, if you don't want the fast flash/bulb out. If that doesn't bother you then no. I already had the tazer to do my tire size

But apparently If you get new version of the mirimoto light I guess you don't(built in correction)

So. If i get a Sport S with color matched flares I can plug n play lights with rubicon fenders. Will the sport liners work with Rubicon flares? Rhank you in advance

Are you asking it the flares will swap(if so yes) or just the lights? I can't answer on the color matched flares as they are a newer option and I haven't seen them up close.
But for the regular sport & sport s flares, NO they lights will not swap. Only the max tow, overland and rubicon use the same style lights
