JL & JT Front Fender Chop Kit Brackets RUBICON

Chopping the lower half off your factory Rubicon fenders buys real tire clearance, but it also leaves the upper flare flopping around and strands your turn and marker lights. The JL & JT Front Fender Chop Kit Brackets from Artec Industries solve both problems at once, stiffening the remaining upper fender and giving you clean mounting locations for relocated marker and turn signals. Laser cut and CNC bent from 1/8" steel, they bolt straight to the factory Rubicon flare.

Key Features

• Reinforces the OEM upper Rubicon fender half after the lower section is removed, eliminating the floppy, unsupported flare
• Provides dedicated mounting points to relocate your turn and marker lights so you can stay street-legal
• Laser cut and CNC bent from 1/8" steel for a precise, repeatable fit
• Engineered from 3D scan files of the factory Rubicon fender
• Direct bolt-on installation with the included hardware
• Finished in a lightly textured black powder coat and made in the USA

Frequently Asked Questions

Which Jeeps do these brackets fit?
They are built for the factory Rubicon fenders on the Jeep Wrangler JL (2018 and newer) and Gladiator JT (2020 and newer). They are not designed for Sport or Sahara flares.

Do I need to weld them on?
No. They are a direct bolt-on using the supplied hardware, so no welding or fabrication is required.

Will I still have working turn signals after chopping the fenders?
Yes. The brackets include mounting locations for turn and marker lights so you can relocate them; LED turn signals are available separately to keep the truck street-legal.

What are these made from?
1/8" steel, laser cut and CNC bent, then finished in a textured black powder coat.

What else do I need for a full fender setup?
Many owners pair these with Artec's JL/JT front inner fenders to run larger tires, and keep JL fender chop OEM replacement hardware on hand for a clean reassembly.
