Thanks for featuring my Jeep guys!! Love the channel and all that you do!

I like my flat black fenders on my Rubicon. Cheaper to keep them black when they get wrecked from off-roading damage and or regular driving on the road if an accident happens. That is what makes owning a Jeep you do what you want to it and who cares right? 🙂

These are black sport fenders, just about worthless

I love the look of the black flares and roof on my Rubicon, the tree limbs on the tight wooded trails don't wreck them like the painted ones either, beauty is in the eye of the beholder, but black for me.

I have a lot of stuff from distinction applied on my Rubicon. Also they do great work, but I think the black hood latches and black vents looked better or at least the “mesh” portion of the vent should be black. Sometimes less is more man.

I feel Jeep should offer the option to color mix. Or at least option black painted fenders if black is the look you want but give you a way to delete the plastic look.

Paint doesn’t match. The black looked better.

now all you need is the hard case spare tire cover paint matched and you will have the poor mans Gwagon. The hi lines are great- better in black though

Paint matched fenders for the win.

Looking good guys. I personally prefer the black flares, but that's what's great about Jeeps. Build yours how YOU want. That gas cap might have to be painted bronze soon to match though lololol

i have an Ocean Blue JLU sport that came with black fenders. I bought black OEM High Line Rubicon Fenders on Facebook market place and had them paint matched. They look amazing but you can see the guts from my engine. No one i know has ever done this so when I ask about inner fender liners they can't give me an answer as to which ones would fit. So I'm excited to see the part 2 to this video. Nice Jeep Ryan!

I love this channel. I have bought 2 jeeps in the passed year because of it and it has been a channel I look forward to seeing. I personally like the look of the black stock fenders as long as you treat them with black magic it stays black. Also it hides rock chips better.

On the side vent, being that it is a two-piece part, I think you should use the gold on the perimeter and keep black in the middle. Be careful, sometimes less is more.

I like keeping it to just a couple colors. Looks good.

I have a Willys and Rubicon and actually like the contrast with the black top and black fender flairs. Btw, we recently added the same wheels and rims on Ryan's jeep to our Willys with a 3.5" lift and love the look.

For the fender flair clips I use needle nose pliers to compress the tabs for easy and quick removal most if not all from memory should be accessible from the back.

Never thought about changing the fender vent but the gold looks sick matched with the other details. This is inspiring me to do something but I'm not sure what - I have a black high altitude so everything is just black already 😂 would love your suggestions for good wheel/tire combos for it though. I've been considering the new wildpeak at4s to keep some of the good driving character

Black is an outstanding look if you are willing to put in the work to keep it clean. Did you change out the chrome lug nuts and the antenna? Putting black covers over the chrome keyholes helps complete the total black look.

Looks great, can you give an update on how those amazon headlights are working out? They look pretty similar to the OEM ones which i like

I feel inspired. I'm going to get out there and earn my Ryan too! :) Loving your work gentlemen.

I highly recommend the American Adventure Labs Fender Retention solution to replace those white clips. Use a real Rivet Nut tool to install the Rivnuts though. I learned that the hard way.

Love you guys. Love the channel, Love 2 doors (even though I have a built JLUR on 38's, but I do have my 95YJ and still running great), but like a couple of other folks below, I'm not a fan of where the build is now going. The clearance , tire size, and lift now makes the jeep look out of proportion. The gold accents remind me of something I'd see on that old custom car show "pimp my ride". I know that school of thought where some say good to keep factory fenders because it's cheap to replace when you damage them on the trail, but I'm a fan of steel fenders. Mine are powder coat black and although there's a chance of causing body damage if I get into something too hard, I'm normally not rock bouncing in my jeep and have slid off things multiple times with nothing more than some scratched powder coat. The other benefit of steel flat fenders is that I have a complete way of walking around my jeep if I'm stuck in deep mud, cold river, or any where I don't or can't touch the ground safely. The LOD rockers, fenders, LOD destroyer rear bumper and the stubby front bumper provide an excellent platform all the way around the jeep. Lol. Now if you lower that jeep, make those highline fenders black, poke the wheels out a little more then it'll look proportional. Oh and get rid of gold accents and go black including that front bumper and then you'll be in the game.... Just kidding, you're right build like like you want it. Hey at least Ryan's driving a jeep and enjoying it and you're getting views. Lol.

Now that I watched this video, for me, it’s just not my style. 100% support it, though, Ryno! But I did buy a black flared Rubicon, so my opinion is biased. But I’ve actually accented my Sting-Grey with black accents, so I will probably ice out the white Glad, and put the removed Rubicon stuff on my Grey Jeep. Waiting to get some bank to start adding Distinction Applied pieces. Door handles, possibly 2024 grill, white cowl vent, etc.
