Default Fender Strength
Can anyone tell me what I can do to re enforce my fenders on my JK so I can stand on them???? Has anyone done this without having to change them?

Thanks

If you want to stand on them, gotta go steel or aluminum replacements.

Agree that you'll need aftermarket.

Why do you need to stand on them? Get a step ladder!

Why are you standing on them?? Myself, the only thing I need to stand on anything for us washing my jeeeeeeeeep. But, I have the rugged ridge step/rail for that.

Com'mon guys. How else is he supposed to do back flips into the mud bog? If you stand on the hood, you might scratch the paint!

Title made me laugh. JK fender strength is an oxymoron to be sure.
I'd consider them breakaway disposable parts on these.

Got no solution since you want to keep the stock flares. Yea, and why are you needing to stand on the flare in the first place?

My kids are on my JK like a monkey gym, just figured would be nice to stand on the rear ones for roof rack access and or back flips into the mud

Keep in mind that if it's strong enough to stand on, it will definitely be strong enough to push in your tub if you hit the fender on a rock or tree.
