Those same lines are on the Rubi and X model fenders as well, just a seam in the mold. They acyually show up more in the black textured plastic.

All of the Sahara's I've been, including my own, have the same thing. It's not a crack. It's a seam as mentioned above.

It is a seam that is formed when the 2 halves of the mold that form the fenders are located.
