    I just did this to my 392 and headed up to Moab. Made a pretty big difference on how much snow and mud was flinging up on the side. I paid @$100 for fenders, plastic rivets and tool.

    I was thinking about doing this when I seen the Recon package. A lot of people don't know the pain we go through with the mud and rock splatter on the rear fenders from the front tires. Mud flaps are a must at least on the front, I bought the WeatherTech version and loved them(Nice molded fit). Looking forward to seeing the updated look with 40's. Cheers!

    I hated to do mudflaps, but love the Rokblokz when I added them. Even just the front makes a big difference for mud encrusted door handles and adding the rear was great for my bikes sitting on a rack (and for other drivers). Rokblokz are spendy, but the combination of being flexible + easily removable has been great for my JT. Mudflaps need to be flexible off the highway or easy to remove, but ideally both.

    Happy New Year Casey! I ran into the same problem with Rokblokz rears. They don't play nice with aftermarket rear bumpers like my AEV. That's why I only ordered the fronts. I had to chuckle how you struggled with the plastic rivets. I had the exact same issue. Take care.

    we had the rock blox on our jl and then went to wide tires and offsets, the trick is to use the hardware and make long jon flaps to fit, gave us 12 inches in rear, still allows to adjust, and can still remove easily, also paired with the recon exstenstions, we have cops cracking down on wheel poke and mud flaps in sask

Have a bit of a poke with my fuel rims but I live in Colorado where it's basically lawless, however during the winter you can't go down the road without having your car caked up in dirt and it just gets annoying when I am headed to the mall and crawl and get dirty in 2 seconds--kidding but its also annoying to go to the car wash every 2 hours.

    We dont have a massive issue with tire poke down here in the US unless you live in certain (ahem) areas, like California where they will impound a vehicle for ANYTHING non-factory installed. In Texas, we dont care what people do to their vehicles. Most pickup trucks and Jeep down here are heavily modded and there are some CRAZY ones. The cops here couldnt care less. They barely enforce the traffic laws unless they catch someone doing something incredibly stupid, like blackout street racing at night.

    I would trim the top of the mud flaps to over lap with the flairs and get rid of the v gap. Then drill new holes in the mud flap. The flaps will be a little shorter but that will be good so there will be less chance of them ripping off ! 🤔

  • @blueman5924

    Surely the flaps will get torn off first time truly off road…..but if they were engineered with a slide in/slide off mounting system, like a dovetail or T slot idea, then I could see em being a solid investment. Love the growl. 🤙

    At the start of your video when you were drilling new holes and with difficulty....holding the piece and drilling. I was thinking for anyone doing this in the future that one could use 3M double sided tape to hold the piece in place and then drill all the holes at the same time. It would also help when installing the rivets. Just an after thought. Thank you for the video.

    Tyre poke is illegal here in Australia. There's a business here in Australia that designed and made fender flare extensions for the JT and JL. I only like them for on-road driving. Off road, I hate them. They get ripped off, damaged etc. I wish there was a way for them to be easily removed for Off road driving. Here in Australia they're expensive to, over AU$900

    What is it about the Mopar rear extensions that don’t fit on a Gladiator. I did see another channel where a guy installed them and all he had to do was drill a few different holes on the rear. I’ve watched yours and another channel where you both installed front extensions on the rear with a slight trimming modification. What is it that make the original rear extension not fit.

    The extend fender flares, are counterproductive to the look that you were going for. However, I do understand the point with law-enforcement. When you’re going for barely legal options. And, when you’re dealing with tires, just let the police know. It is a factory build, who is measuring the inches (POLK) but us???? Here’s an example the F150 blackout package. Nobody’s getting tickets for the limo tinted windows. Bust of Luck!!!!!
