Jeep Wrangler JL Install | Xtreme Recon Fender Extensions 

Perfect video. Did the entire install in 45 minutes. Thank you for the proper drill bit size! 2022 Rubicon 4xe

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.

Thank you! This helped me do the same install. I am very pleased, and no more side Jeep splatter.

I've always loved the slant back soft tops and that JL looks so good with that blue 10/10 solid

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 !

Thanks for the video. I just installed them on my 392. Easy peasy stuff.

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

The old rivets can be simply pushed in and pulled out with a center punch.

This is great info man..7/64 to remove the rivets and 1/4 to make the necessary holes to complete installation, I hope that’s correct..I had the flares for about 3 months and have not got the chance to put them on..but with this you just made it easier for me to do so..keep up the good work. 😀

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.

The extensions look great on the JL.

Use a 16 penny nail and push or tap nail on center of river to remove. No drill needed.

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.

Love it!

I like the extensions and it’ll keep the PA cops off your back

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.

Just ordered for my 2019 Rubicon!

Perfect. I’ve been wanting to do this to my JLUR.

Nice looks really good 👍🏻

That’s a sweet Jeep!

Thanks for doing this. I was wondering how easy it would be. 👍🏼

Awesome video Thanks 👍

Thanks for the video im removing them and this helped

Great Video. Well explained. i love the look..... Keep em coming....

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.

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?

Yeah small change but a good look!

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

Looking good.

Does this work on the Rubicon X with painted fenders?

if you keep squeezing the rivet tool it breaks the ends off doesnt it?

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

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

Will those work on the Sahara 2023 fenders what place has tham for the sehara

What’s going on with that truck in the back?!

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?

Will the plastic rivets be compatible with the JT?

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.

do u have a set for jk

i recently put rubicon OEM fenders on my JL sport. where did he het his inner fencer liners?

What’s the size of the plastic rivet?

Since your dad has the limit slip rear end and you have lockers maybe you could do a comparison of the two.

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?

Being a XR owner. These do not help much with Road debris. At least for me they don’t..

I need to buy some for my jeep gladiator .does help from getting mud on the jeep

Hi, I like your content. I'm Elsa from American Modified. Do you accept sponsored product?

Were the rivets you drilled out plastic or metal - I think the ones on my 23 JL are metal

What modifications need to be done to fit on a Willy’s model?

Here can I get those fender flare extensions from ?

You know if it's possible to add the extreme recon package after i got my Willy's?

Hey Matt, just want to make sure on that Amazon link for the rivets that it is the 6mm version ? Thanks brother, great channel 🤙🏻

Will these fit a 2016 Unlimited Sport S?

What size rivets?

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

With this fit 2018 Rubicon JL

Would these fit a 2021 JL high altitude?

I have these on my JLU and hate them! All they do is catch and hold mud!

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.

Where to get the rivit install tool?

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..??

Dude is that a 96 ram in the back ???

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...

I didnt realize anyone actually liked these lol

You realize you just baited every viewer to ask you the most random shit on purpose on every video from now on, yea? 🤣
