    Thank you so much for posting this video. Coincidentally, I justed ordered a set of these flares for my '22 Wrangler Rubicon JLU 4xe last week. I was planning to have them installed at a body shop, but after watching this video, I'll probably do it myself.

    Good news, these Xtreme recon fender extensions do fit the 2021 Gladiator Mojave. The fronts are perfect fit, just need three extra holes. For the rear, leave your new extensions in the full sun so they are flexible, and unfortunately only the first hole matches up with current rear rivets. I had to drill all new holes, but it looks great. Mojave should have come with these. Worked out well. Thanks for the idea Matt !

    Thank you for the video. On my 2019 JLU Rubicon the rears lined up perfectly. The front holes did not line up at all and had to be drill new ones to fit correctly. No big deal, just took some extra time to line up the fronts. Looks great and I am happy with the results.

    I just spent 4 hours installing the fender extensions on my 392. I like the parts and they fit like a glove. However the rivets and tool used do not work well at all. The pull stud diameter and length on the OTUAYAUTO rivets is too small and the rivet gun would not grab onto the stud. When you add up the thickness of the splash guard, fender and extender the three of them are greater than the pulled length of the rivet - especially on the front fenders. There's a threaded section on the end of the pull stud and some of those threads need to reach and pull through the flange head before the stud breaks off. If this doesn't happen, the rivet will work loose over time and fall out. If you push on the end of the stud with a nail on the rivets where you don't see any threads, you will find that the stud will push completely back out. The rivet studs that come with the gun are much thicker in diameter and they grab much better but there's an insufficient number of rivets in the box to install all 4 extenders. I could not find more of those rivets anywhere. Napa sells a rivet where the stud diameter is 0.020" bigger and the tool will grab them better but the length is still too short to squeeze all three components together for a snug fit. I ended up breaking off twice as many rivets trying to get the threads to grab than the job required.
