Our latest trip to the desert we flexed enough to break the clips on the front fenders, not a big deal really as I figured it was likely to happen after moving up to 37’s from the 35’s we had before. The 35‘s rubbed at full flex but the 37’s rub before full flex.
But before our next trip I would like to get a little more clearance and not spend much.
I have ’20 Max Tow, Mopar Lift with a 1” spacer up front. 37” MT’s
I found these Rubicon knock-offs on eBay and was hoping someone here had some experience with them, as in: Will my stock lights swap over and fit easily? I dont have the LED package.
It looks like they will but just hoping someone here has done the same and has direct knowledge.
Here’s the link:

Thanks!

Those look completely smooth which hides nothing, and I'll bet the plastic is either hard or cheap meaning they'll either crack easily or scratch easily, respectively.

Pretty confident if you wait and look you will find JTR or JLR fronts off factory trucks for same price

I don't have these fenders but bought cheap knock off plastics at one point for my old Tacoma.

You get what you pay for, the plastic faded in about a year, not really worth it.

I would keep an eye out for take off fenders or upgrade to one of the many flat fender options.

Appreciate the replies. I already know their cheap, they‘ll fade, crack and look like crap. I just need the fronts as a temporary fix to go wheeling over the course of the next few months without ripping them off. The design is close enough to match the rears without looking weird.
I’ve looked at offer-up, Craigslist, here for the rubicon take-off’s, no dice as of the time I began my search after last weekends desert trip.
When it comes time to do fronts and rears and inner liners these will be removed and sold or trashed.
I’m specifically seeking someone’s actual experience with them for stock light fitment, if they’ll fit or not or need minor modification.
