More Clearance, Less Weight: FDGL-08 Fender Deletes Unlock Maximum Gladiator Articulation
The DV8 Offroad FDGL-08 Fender Deletes replace the heavy factory fender flares on the 2020-2024 Jeep Gladiator JT with a slim, low-profile 3.5mm plate steel solution designed to maximize wheel well clearance for aggressive rock crawling and off-road articulation. The FDGL-08 hardware sits flush with the delete panels to eliminate snagging points and keep the profile as tight as possible. Plug-and-play amber turn signal lights are included to maintain full legal compliance, and all mounting hardware is included for a clean install. Factory inner fenders are not compatible with the FDGL-08. Factory fender support brackets must be removed, and exposed steel must be painted or treated to prevent rust. Bolt-on installation requires no drilling. Estimated 3-hour install time.
