A guard designed for a Wrangler JK tail lamp does not automatically fit a Wrangler JL, and a headlight guard is not a rear lamp guard. These Rugged Ridge models use different constructions and applications. Identify the correct Jeep generation and lighting package before ordering.

JK vs JL guard fitment and construction

Applications and materials are listed by exact Rugged Ridge MPN. The manufacturer's notes on lamp type and factory equipment are important for proper fit.

Part number Light Manufacturer-listed application Design Construction
11226.02 Rear Wrangler JK, 2007–2018 Euro-style Black powder-coated steel
11226.04 Rear Wrangler JK, 2007–2018 Elite two-piece Cast aluminum, black/brushed finish
11226.12 Rear Wrangler JL, 2018–2026, OE LED lamps Elite two-piece Cast aluminum, satin black
11230.21 Front Wrangler JL, 2018–2025; Gladiator JT, 2020–2025 Elite one-piece Cast aluminum, satin black
JL tail-lamp restriction: 11226.12 requires factory LED tail lights; the manufacturer excludes 392 and Xtreme Recon packages and does not approve it with the OE Hinge-Gate Reinforcement. Factory blind-spot monitoring is supported. For JK model 11226.04, some aftermarket tail lights may not clear the guard.

Choosing the right part

  • Confirm JK versus JL: both appear in the 2018 model year; match your actual body generation.
  • Choose the rear style: 11226.02 is a JK Euro-style steel pair; 11226.04 is the JK two-piece cast-aluminum Elite style.
  • Check the JL rear lighting: 11226.12 is intended for factory LED lamps only and has additional OE accessory exclusions.
  • Front guard selection: 11230.21 is the one-piece cast-aluminum Elite headlight pair for listed JL and Gladiator models.
  • Installation clearance: verify any aftermarket lights, brackets or hinge-gate reinforcement before installation.
