Tube fenders are a great upgrade for your Wrangler JK. Tube fenders replace your jeep’s stock fenders and plastic fender flares with ones that are much stronger and more durable. They not only add durability and strength but many add needed tire clearance to help reduce tire rub. Plus, they look way better than stock fenders!
Not all tube fenders are created equal. A quick Google search could leave your head spinning, so many choices! With prices varying from $250 to $1000, materials from steel to carbon fiber, and a wide range of fender width, how is one to choose?
