- The Give-A-Way Gladiator is running bigger tires and to help clear them I'm adding a set of Fabtech tube fenders. This is the gladiator that you could win by buying a raffle ticket from Cal 4Wheel.
To buy a ticket go here:

I like the thought of working on my new Jeep next year and coming across a cross-threaded, galled thread bolt and shaking my fist at the sky and yelling "damn you Fred Williams!"
Just saw on the Dirthead Shed that UA was in WV 😊 I would have loved to have got some pics and autographs.
Im thinkin it's looking darn good!! Id look pretty darn good driving it! Thanks for the vid and was good to see ypu with Dave during UA! Peace Out!!!
Enjoy all your vids! Keep em coming! Love the tech stuff . Thanks!
You have the tool, Instead of taping the washers and nuts to the wrench (Which I have done) You could have put rivets in the holes, then you would have also had enough washers for the fender side of the bolts.
Those white clips are turning your shop into a warzone lol.
Not sure id be willing to sacrifice being able to go back to stock for tube fendors.
Also if you have prep time the gel super glue works pretty good for holding that stuff together.
And yes get the liner. Itll look cleaner and help keep crap out.
You could choose to go to your local hardware store and get all of the fasteners you want ! Go that extra mile Fred ! lol
I work on flood and drink machinery. All fasteners are stainless steel. All it takes a a burr in the threads and they weld together with very little effort. Good quality fasteners are a necessity. Chinese stainless hardware is terrible.
Nice work. Still looks pretty good
They look great, but definitely need some inner liners. I am still searching for good ones for the JK, they always have some hideous logo lasered into them.
I am with @shoffman75 on the rear liners, but Jeeps are already ugly boxes, hard to make them look worse :-) I like the look of the tube finders.
Couldn’t you just put riv nuts on all the bolts for the tube fenders? Instead of nuts, washers and bolts?
Now you can stuff some 40’s no it!!! Lol
Could you consider making a protective cover for the gas filler conglomeration just to keep stuff from hitting and damaging it? I agree with painting all that black for sure.
thats not a bad idea, I'm waiting to hear if Fabtech has rear fender liners
A dab of cray glue on the washer can hold it on the bolt.
So much better!!! Way too much plastic for the price of those new jeeps imo
Can't you just use nutserts in all the holes?
GG👍👍
Dude that “paint job”you did is going to rust in about a week 😂. wtf
Cutting off all those tabs is a deal-breaker. No way. Seems like another good product with bad design.
Looks worse and no rear liners. Hard pass.
