New to the JK, but not to Jeeps.

Finding lots of good info here, so figured I would register. I picked up this repairable with a clean title back in December. I almost have it back to being a good Jeep. Next I will be regearing and a locker hopefully. The work added up fast, but I plan to keep it around for a bit. I'm still ahead of anything on market place.

I'm still hoping to find a stock painted Sahara fender to match.

Welcome to the Forum!
Congrats on owning a Wrangler, plus the rebuilding of it..(y)
Welcome.

Why don't you just get the fender you have on now color matched?

I still have my four stock fenders in my garage but they're metallic green.

The black JK fenders are textured, the body color ones aren't, they're smooth. I have a full set of black ones here, so it would break up the set too. I don't like the plain black.

Originally I thought it would be easy finding stock take offs cheap, but everyone asks as much as a full set of aftermarket fenders 🤣 I'm not paying that.

I have enough built Jeeps, with this one I'm just trying to have a nice DD/mild trail rig.

I'd let mine go for cheap, I just want the space back in my garage. Shipping is where it gets expensive.
