Compatible With:
JKJKU
Factory Jeep JK and JKU front fenders run out of room fast once tire size, suspension travel, and articulation increase. The lower rear section near the firewall is one of the first places larger tires start to rub, especially when the suspension compresses off-road. Most bolt-on flares only cover the tire and leave the weak factory quarter panel and cowl exposed.
The Motobilt Tomahawk Front Fenders were built for Jeep owners who want real front corner clearance and actual armor, not just a flare swap. This system completely replaces the factory front fender and quarter panel with a full steel front corner armor package that includes upper cowl armor. Instead of working around the factory body lines, the Tomahawk design reworks the entire front corner to create the room needed for larger tires, more suspension travel, and better clearance in technical terrain.
These fenders deliver some of the most aggressive clearance available for the JK and JKU platform. Builders gain approximately 1.53 inches of extra clearance in the lower rear section where tires traditionally contact during articulation, along with roughly 3 inches of added vertical clearance above the factory flare line. The front section near the grille is also cut higher, making these fenders compatible with front stretch builds and larger tire setups. Built from 1/8 inch laser-cut steel with a flat-top profile inspired by classic Jeep styling, this system gives the front corners the strength to handle real trail abuse while keeping the body tighter and cleaner. For builders looking to finish the front end properly, these fenders pair with Motobilt MB1274 or MB1274-B inner fenders for a complete front corner setup.

How much tire clearance do the Tomahawk front fenders add?
These fenders add approximately 1.53 inches of clearance in the lower rear section where JK tires commonly rub and about 3 inches of additional clearance above the factory flare line.
Do these fenders replace the entire front quarter panel?
Yes. This is a full front corner armor system that replaces the factory front fender and quarter panel, including the upper cowl armor section.
Are these front fenders compatible with stretched JK builds?
Yes. The Tomahawk front fenders are cut higher near the grille to provide additional clearance for front stretch applications and larger tire setups.
Do I need inner fenders with this kit?
Inner fenders are not required for basic installation, but Motobilt MB1274 and MB1274-B inner fenders are recommended for a cleaner finished front wheel well.
Can I reuse my factory hood latches?
No. Factory JK hood latches will not work with these fenders. Aftermarket adjustable hood latches are required.
