Great video. Straight to the point. I love that you gave drill bit sizes so viewers minimize guesswork. I've watched it twice and I'm going out to do it now. Hoping for 45 min. install for all four.
I went one Mopar wanted to buy the extensions then noticed rivets alone cost $110+. Thanks to you guys I got the amazon tool+rivets and ordered the extensions on molar. Very helpful, you guys rock!
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 !
Yes ! I plan to add these to my Gladiator Mojave ! Thank you Matt ! excellent how to video, I have ordered a set of the fender extensions. Liked and subscribed best regards, sam
plastic rivets and fender flares showed up today. Hoo ray ! I ordered them last Friday. I guess I need to get sick at work tomorrow after it warms up a bit. I have my can of Beefaroni ready !
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.
Thanks for the video. I am not handy at all, but your video showed how easy it was. I just finished the install, so should now be able to pass my upcoming PA inspection without issue. Thanks again.
We just swapped our 05 for 2019 JL. It also has the same fenders. How wide are those extensions? I couldn't find anything measurements on them. We live in Pa and need 2.5 inches more to clear the tires for inspection. Thanks for the video too.
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.
I'm adding these to my JTM. Learned from a fellow forum member, buy 2x right front and 2x left front, and you get more coverage on the rear. The rear involves a V cut when installing on the rear, but looks great.
Where can I find the ones for the 2023 Jeep Wrangler 4xe they have the full Fender around the turn signal lights with a small black Edge trim Sahara model the Jeep Wrangler JL has tons of different fenders that do not work with these extensions on the market
Wanted to do this for awhile & have just ordered the parts. Love the videos like this & offroad wipers Also link opens to 6mm rivets. Amazon says those are for JK. Just want to make sure it’s right ones. They are only ones I see in 100pk
Will these make it through the car wash without coming off? The flares on my Dmax try to come off when the blowers are drying, so i have to hand wash every time, call me lazy but it is nice to just run through the car wash in the winter to knock off the salt.
I think i am one of the few that does not like the fender extensions i find they look funny, however if it prevents any body damage im all for them. Do you have any suggestions for back up lights? The led for every other light on the jl is fantastic, the backup however is terrible
Will I be able to fit almost 35in tires on my stock JLU Willys? I want to keep the stock height. Should I get the high clearance fenders to prevent any rubbing?
They do look nice and I’ve considered them but haven’t gone that route figuring I would probably rip them off. Much rather have the tube fenders that were on one of the Easter safari jeeps. Just haven’t seen them yet
Do these fit for any Jeep Wrangler JL. I have a 2021 Jeep Wrangler Willy’s Unlimited Sport and im having trouble with the rear fender flares on the end close the door. Would i have to cut the fender flare to adjust it correctly or it’s supposed to fit the way it is?
@@DIRTROADCRED But what about Willy’s Fenders? . The front fender flares fit perfect. It’s the rear fender flares that are giving me a problem. Unless I have give the fender flares some heat with a heat gun to make them flexible but not sure if that will work.
@@DIRTROADCRED would you recommend a 2-inch left and performance heroes, along with the extreme recon package? Or are you just suggesting to do a 2 inch lift performance tires. My Jeep comes with a lift and nice tires on the Willis Jeep. So I'm not sure what to do exactly. Originally I wanted to get the extreme recon package custom with auxiliary buttons. However I saw this one of it local dealership law and I picked it up.
@DIRT ROAD CRED what are ur thoughts on the Trektop vs. The Trektop Ultra vs. other soft top brands? How do those hold up during the winter? Can't decide if i want a soft top or a Clearlidz, lol. TIA
UGGHHH. I was so looking forward to grabbing this, but I don’t have the Rubicon flares. Can someone confirm whether they DO or DO NOT have the same arch shape? I really want to install these on my JL Sport
@@DIRTROADCRED I DO really appreciate you doing this, though. I have some wheels with a little more poke and I think this is going to work wonders if they are the same.
They will not fit non Rubicon fenders. You would have to trim rear and remold front with a heat gun. I was about to do it but decided not to. I sold them on ebay 3x's what I paid.
I tried these on my 2011 JK….. fenders did not have quite the same contour as the recon extensions…I have since removed them. anybody make these to fit the JK fenders..??
I think this is the guy that did the Mopar suspension lift video and didn't tell anyone that the upper control arms had to be loosened... Suspect as a MoFo...

Yeah super easy. 5-10 mins on each one.
Save some cash for more mods!
I've always loved the slant back soft tops and that JL looks so good with that blue 10/10 solid
The jeep is sick! Full review coming soon!
Dude you are always helping me with everything about jeep! so handy
Thank you! This helped me do the same install. I am very pleased, and no more side Jeep splatter.
Glad it helped!

Thanks for the video. I just installed them on my 392. Easy peasy stuff.
The old rivets can be simply pushed in and pulled out with a center punch.
Good call!

Use a 16 penny nail and push or tap nail on center of river to remove. No drill needed.
Thanks...How do you get the piece (that you pushed through) back out?

Where can I find the ones for the 2023 Jeep Wrangler 4xe they have the full Fender around the turn signal lights with a small black Edge trim Sahara model the Jeep Wrangler JL has tons of different fenders that do not work with these extensions on the market
Love the extensions they look so good. How about a review and demo of the auto lynx sway bar disconnects that he has on his Jeep?
Gotta wait til the next video!
@@DIRTROADCRED sweet! I’ve been thinking about those! Just wanted to get more information and experience cus they are not much out there
if you keep squeezing the rivet tool it breaks the ends off doesnt it?
Just ordered for my 2019 Rubicon!
Sick!
Love it!
Thanks for watching!
Does this work on the Rubicon X with painted fenders?
Will those work on the Sahara 2023 fenders what place has tham for the sehara
I like the extensions and it’ll keep the PA cops off your back
Truth!
Wanted to do this for awhile & have just ordered the parts. Love the videos like this & offroad wipers
Also link opens to 6mm rivets. Amazon says those are for JK. Just want to make sure it’s right ones. They are only ones I see in 100pk
Yeah those are the correct ones. Same ones I used. They come in a 100pk so it’s nice to have extras for later if you need to replace one.
@@Wayfinder_JT thanks. Just realized I put front mud flaps on that use cover & use the 6th rivet. Don’t think they will work
These are the right ones!
@@DIRTROADCRED ya Dave confirmed. I forgot I have weathertech front flaps that use 6th rivet. Don’t think extensions would sit flat with them
@@DIRTROADCRED Ty for confirming. Buying some now 🤘🏽😎🤘🏽
That’s a sweet Jeep!
An awesome jeep for sure!
What’s the size of the plastic rivet?
Great Video. Well explained. i love the look..... Keep em coming....
Thank you!
Will the plastic rivets be compatible with the JT?
They should be!
i recently put rubicon OEM fenders on my JL sport. where did he het his inner fencer liners?
Let me ask!
Will these make it through the car wash without coming off? The flares on my Dmax try to come off when the blowers are drying, so i have to hand wash every time, call me lazy but it is nice to just run through the car wash in the winter to knock off the salt.
I use the auto wash in the winter and mine are fine!
What modifications need to be done to fit on a Willy’s model?
Needs to have rubicon flares
I think i am one of the few that does not like the fender extensions i find they look funny, however if it prevents any body damage im all for them. Do you have any suggestions for back up lights? The led for every other light on the jl is fantastic, the backup however is terrible
Back up lights will be coming soon! I recommend diode dynamics!
Nice looks really good 👍🏻
😎😎😎
I need to buy some for my jeep gladiator .does help from getting mud on the jeep
Absolutely!
Awesome video Thanks 👍
Were the rivets you drilled out plastic or metal - I think the ones on my 23 JL are metal
Plastic!
Will I be able to fit almost 35in tires on my stock JLU Willys? I want to keep the stock height. Should I get the high clearance fenders to prevent any rubbing?
If you go rubicon flares yes
do u have a set for jk
They do look nice and I’ve considered them but haven’t gone that route figuring I would probably rip them off. Much rather have the tube fenders that were on one of the Easter safari jeeps. Just haven’t seen them yet

Don’t think they fit on a JK
Yeah small change but a good look!
Thanks Dawn!
What size rivets?
I believe they are 6 mm the link in the description is the right one!
@@DIRTROADCRED thank you.
Is that 2.5 with 35s?
Yes
Here can I get those fender flare extensions from ?
He has link in description
Link in the description!
Thanks for the video im removing them and this helped
You know if it's possible to add the extreme recon package after i got my Willy's?
You could, I’d recommend the mopar 2 inch lift and performance wheels!
@@DIRTROADCRED would you recommend a 2-inch left and performance heroes, along with the extreme recon package? Or are you just suggesting to do a 2 inch lift performance tires.

Thanks for watching! They should fit!
@@DIRTROADCRED were are buy ?
where are buy ?
Would these fit a 2021 JL high altitude?
More than likely with a small lift
Where to get the rivit install tool?

Which slantback soft top does he have? BestTop has the TrekTop that can be transitioned to a bikini top. Would love to see a review.
He has the trek top!
@DIRT ROAD CRED what are ur thoughts on the Trektop vs. The Trektop Ultra vs. other soft top brands? How do those hold up during the winter? Can't decide if i want a soft top or a Clearlidz, lol. TIA
UGGHHH. I was so looking forward to grabbing this, but I don’t have the Rubicon flares.
Can someone confirm whether they DO or DO NOT have the same arch shape?
I really want to install these on my JL Sport
I’d almost have to confirm in person!
@@DIRTROADCRED I DO really appreciate you doing this, though. I have some wheels with a little more poke and I think this is going to work wonders if they are the same.
I have the sport fenders and also the flares. They work for me.
They will not fit non Rubicon fenders. You would have to trim rear and remold front with a heat gun. I was about to do it but decided not to. I sold them on ebay 3x's what I paid.
will they work on a JK?
From what I am told they will not.
Are they not pop rivets??
They are standard plastic rivets
What’s going on with that truck in the back?!
It can be yours!
Where can they be purchased? Do they only come through Jeep dealer
You can buy them online!
@@DIRTROADCRED I’d like to get a set for my 2019 JL Sport. Haven’t been able to find the web site to purchase. Thanks
Since your dad has the limit slip rear end and you have lockers maybe you could do a comparison of the two.
Good idea!
Hey Matt, just want to make sure on that Amazon link for the rivets that it is the 6mm version ? Thanks brother, great channel 🤙🏻
Yes the exact link are the rivets used
@@DIRTROADCRED awesome. Thank you sir
Looking good.
Thanks Jason!
Where can I purchase these?

Hi, I like your content. I'm Elsa from American Modified. Do you accept sponsored product?
Being a XR owner. These do not help much with Road debris. At least for me they don’t..
Not much 😂
I guess just a little!

But at least it isn’t the goofy Bronco raptor flares. 😂

Yes!
Thank you keep up the great work with the channel
I just trying to buy xtreme recon wheels.
Good luck!
Where can i buy it?
eBay or mopar!
I have these on my JLU and hate them! All they do is catch and hold mud!
I don’t mine them!
Dude is that a 96 ram in the back ???
Actually a 96.5 very rare model
