Default flat fender

I was wondering if anyone knew if the bushwacker flat fenders for the jku would fit on the 2 door? Is there a difference in fenders between the 2 and 4 door?

Thanks.

Don't waste your money. Just do a fender chop.

The only issue with choping the fenders is they don't look complete IMO. Aftermarket flares have that finish look.

I tend to agree with your statement. After installing my fronts and seeing how everything came together, the BWs seem to have that "polished" look the stock flares lack. However, I know that once I accidentally rip a fender off, it won't pop back on as easy as the stock ones do.

BTW - The install is a major PITA. Just leave yourself adequate time to tinker with it. Nothing seems to line up perfectly when you're finally ready to mount the flare to the brackets and install the mounting screws. The fronts took me 2.5 hours and that was with my bro helping me. I didn't even get a chance to do the rears yet.

Yes, the rears are different.
