Because they can according to my dealer who had a boatload of 2012's lined up with them. I asked the salesmen who approached me about articulation and he simply chuckled and said these wont ever see any off road time and we make a ton more money selling them like this... He wasn't joking The Arctic clocked in at $40K and the 2 doors were all over $30 (they were the basic "Sport" model) They also had the new Jeep Green color whatever it's called fully DECKED out with a winch mopar bumpers, aux lights , and a ton of other stuff. I didn't bother to check the $ on that one though.

And in all fairness I take back what I initially said about the Blue color, it's a lot darker in person and looks really good up close.

 

Lol pretty optomistic of them to assume that people won't go offroad and tear those things off. I couldn't wait for my lift and put my 35s on a few weeks early, those fenders probably won't even survive a gravel road.

 

I'd be more curious to see if they would have the tailgate problems/warranty voided with that big a tire hanging on the tailgate straight from the dealer

Also, looks like they'd rub on a speed bump ?

 

btw Fadeout, what dealer is that?

 

Sure they will fit. Just don't go over a big bump or turn the wheels full left or right.

 

The sad part is the dealer is correct....wonder if your warranty is void upon purchase?

 

That's crazy, first time they pop a curb and lose a fender, they will bring it back... at least the dealers lift the ones they put new tires on in my area...

 

Wow that's ridiculous, I have a 2" bb with extended bumps tops and just threw on some 35's. If there was even a half in. Difference in my lift or bump stop I would be in the fender when flexed, I was really amazed that I didnt have to trim anything. My wheels are also 3.75" BS which saves me also

The arctic blue is starting to grow on me too. But I absolutely hate the safety cone orange.
