What are these plastic shields between the bumper and fender?

[TYJ]

Are these OEM or aftermarket? My Overland doesn’t have them. Anyone have a p/n? Thanks.

Those started it in Europe as mandatory. I don’t like the look but has it’s purpose.

They’re not on your overland because they look awful. Maybe ads .2- .4 mpg

Thank you for asking as I have been trying to figure that out for a while now. I am sorta torn on if I want them or not as I think it's a nice addition at least until I break down and buy a lift kit. With a lift and bigger tires I don't think it would look right but for now on my stock overland I think it would look good.

Those are standard on the Sport Model, but don't think they come on the other trims. Seems like most people are looking to get rid of them or cut them out. I was glad my Overland didn't have them, but to each his own

They are aero edition to keep air from building in the wheelwell - On my sport S Max tow - i found them to inhibit my choice of tires / rims so they are gone now. Easy to delete (Youtube vid)
Would be interesting if you tried adding to the overland not sure clearance and stock tire/wheel for vehicle.

Crazy, I popped in to ask this exact same question, as I see it on the sports I’ve looked at..only advantage I see is to keep the top of the bumper clean....I sorta like it...

See even the JK had them overseas, and the new Rubicon has them now overseas

Those are what is technically referred to as crap.

I pulled them off my JLU almost immediately.

Basically they're over molded plastic to be removed and discard by the owner.

I was thinking of putting them on but still haven't found the part number, someone on a post called them closure panels They come I believe standard on the sport and sport s and models shipped overseas, If anyone knows the part numbers please post it

Not sure what the specifics are on these and putting them on an Overland. I think I read something about the Overland fog covers on the back of the bumper were different.

They are for shipping only to keep voles out of the wheel wells. Remove on transfer of the vehicle and put them in the recycling bin.

That’s why I was asking. Whenever I wash my Gladiator, the top of the front bumper is filthy right away. I guess everyone thinks they’re ugly.
