WFI Fender Flares

[imallcrawl]

Has anyone tried these RC fenders? The turn signal slots are much smaller than OEM, but it doesn't look that bad and it gives about 3" more clearance. Just curious on quality and how it would look on the Gladiator. Thanks in advanced!

Do these allow the stock turn signals to be installed into them?

Yes..........

..............after breaking out the death wheel and modifying your lights.

Actually I won't need to modify my lights because I'm going to use these spare ones I got for $20 off of Craigslist. I want to keep my painted fender flares in top shape just in case I switch back or sell it.

Yes it does, but as @Thunderspud pointed out, you will definitely have to modify it.

How do you like the RC flares? What’s the texture/finish like on them? It’s so hard to tell from the pictures.

The texture is very close to the OEM unpainted fenders, wish it could be a thicker plastic but it is still very sturdy and well-built. I did remove them and put back my painted fenders recently, but that's just because I wanted to see how it would look with my 40's, after seeing it, I may put them back on

Thanks! I’m really considering these. Did you have any issue with mud caking up on the reinforcement on the inside lower back part of the fender? I saw what looked like a built in reinforcement “bracket”, but wondered if it would end up acting like a shelf for mud.

My JT doesn't see mud, had enough of that in my younger days . BUT just by looking at it, the brace is held on with 3M double-sided tape and there are no areas to shelf mud at all, so it will definitely just slide off

Wish Bushwacker made the hydraforms for Gladiators. They are paintable and come with lights. They make them for the JL, so the front will fit, but not the rears.

I agree… lived in GA for several years… had enough mud there for several lifetimes.

What lights did you use.? I put my factory 2024 lights back in, but you lose the DRL and are left with only the turn signals. Is there a light that is only single height and gives me back the DRL and turn signal...
