New Mopar Fender Flares and other cool stuff

[onetraveller]

If you haven't seen them, Mopar has released a new line of Jeep performance products. The one that really caught my eye are their new high clearance fender flares. They'll let you run 35s with no lift and 37s with a 2 inch lift. They also have new lift kits, a new HD Dana 44 housing for under $1000, a new big brake kit, and new bead lock wheels.

Just received the flares. Hoping to get them and a set of 35"tires on this weekend. The a chance to play for a bit.

I got to see those at EJS, they looked like a very nice part! I would suspect they would let someone run a 40" tire with about 3" of lift you did a little tuning on arm length...







The rockers guards could use a trim....



And I think there is a little extra room in the flare if you wanted to get fancy with trimming.

I was thinking along the same lines.
the instructions include cutting the stock liners and reusing them. So I "think", that would restrict tire size to 37-ish.

I really like my MCE's, but I think I might swap them out for the MOPAR flares. Never mind just saw that the shipping was $126.

Man I love those!

:sombrero: Pretty hard to complain about the MCE carbon fiber-flexable, lifetime warranty-

I just saw yesterday that Rock-Slide Engineering has two (new?) shorter-length variants for its flares, too. One of them looks just like the MCE flares, but it's made from aluminum. Really tempting ...

I'm happy to see Mopar releasing items like these. I personally prefer to keep the vehicle looking as stock as possible, and this looks to be the best option for fitting large tires on a small lift. It also shows that Jeep is finally "realizing" that most people want to mod their JKs and were missing out on the aftermarket for a long time. I hope that means they'll be more lenient on warranty claims when it's clear a Jeep gets taken off road and is modified. Admittedly I haven't had my JK long enough to find out what the warranty process is like through the dealer, but back in the mid to late nineties if you had much more than a sticker on your Jeep they'd deny warranty claims because of your "modifications".

I wanted to retain the Mopar Mudflaps up front, to help save the hinge pitting and reduce the muck on the doors.
So that, and maintaining the stock look were the driving motivators in getting the High Top Flares.

When they stop charging $125 to ship plastic, I might consider them.

Does your local dealer charge a shipping fee? Mine doesn't.

I was only going by the original link provided in first post.

:sombrero: Heh Heh, yeah paying an exorbitant amount for shipping is a PITA, but

Even plastic costs a bunch, mainly because of BULK SIZE--not weight-

Whatever
