[@DIRTROADCRED]

We are so pumped to finally start this build! Check out Distinction Applied! bit.ly/DistinctionDRC Check out Distinction Applied's KZbin Channel kzbin.info/door/KfKfVD6HWKchDEKjnTmohg

[@photognate88]

You should do a tan top, paint the fenders and bumper.

[@DIRTROADCRED]

Got some fun plans for the fenders and bumpers! Stay tuned

[@LalaneMotorsLLC]

And wheels

[@mattskillman]

Thanks, Matt and Ryan, for honoring my Grandfather, Carl! He is a hero, although he'd tell you that he was just doing his job. It really means a lot that you are helping to spotlight these guys, our Greatest Generation. Telling their stories keeps the memory of their sacrifices alive. Thank you.

[@Rev_Ironhide]

Pull the wrangler decal off for sure. This build has me looking forward to the next video on it. My dad was 82nd airborne veteran (passed away July 4th last year gone to early). He drove a few willys in his early military days and turned a couple wrenches on them.

[@SpyderDan1985]

Sorry for your loss! Jesus loves you!

[@leemen]

My favorite addition is those wood dipped windshield bumps. Maybe body color those wiper arms too.

[@danielmasina4172]

Gas decal needs to be smaller. Thought I wasn’t going to like the grill, but it looks great based on your theme. Love your channel.

[@carldrews7079]

Awesome build. Short of a early military color body wrap with color matched parts, you've done a excellent job. I'm truly enjoying watching this build.

[@leondrolet8695]

Absolutely LOVE the cohesive look coming together with the color matching. Looks so much more unified and purposeful. Great choices - one of my fav builds on your channel. Just get those fenders matched, please. Also, I have bought several things from Distinction Applied and they all came out great.

[@JamesDolat]

I'm a USAF vet and Gladiator owner. I'm truly liking the color matching on this build. Suggestions: remove Wrangler sticker, color match the wiper arms, find a set of wheels that are throwbacks/color matched, get a tan top and seats. Most importantly, change out the front fenders for color matched flats. Keep up the good work on the build and tributes!

[@Twix_loves_domo]

The mirrors brought it all together, the wood grain was a nice touch too !

[@frankrizzo6776]

The windshield bumpers in the woodgrain is a beautiful touch. They look so good.

[@Cfdoose]

I love the hero segment - thanks for including that!

[@andymckane7271]

If it were not for the men and women who've served in our armed forces for the past 250 years, we would not have a United States of America. Thank you for commenting on one of our veterans from the Second World War! Andrew McKane IV, 5 January 2025, Maunaloa, Molokai, HI.

[@BuckBitting]

Thanks for creating this tribute Jeep I think you are doing a great job and I know my dad would have appreciated it also (he passed a couple years ago}. He served in the USMC for 30 years, serving ww2, Korea, and Vietnam. My grandkids are keeping the legacy going, my grandson serving in the Navy and granddaughter serving in the Marines. Making all of us very proud

[@Dmh06178]

So excited to see everything you guys have planned. Love the color match parts- nice!

[@Allen_Roby]

The straight steel bumper from Unofficial Use Only that was used on the Quadratec YJL would look amazing on this build.

[@gdawg400]

Wow awesome moment @17:22 of the video, you guys are awesome and one of the reasons I got my gladiator and the old lady a wrangler. You and Ryan are carrying the jeep community right now, Keep up the great work🙏 🔥

[@DuyenNguyen-ui6mo]

This comment is under my wife profile but wanted to say outstanding project Sir! I actually got to drive the last M151A2’s in the Army back in 1986 at Fort Dix New Jersey before the Hummer replaced it. I will never forget the great time we had driving them in the driving range that day. I had a two door sport, back when I left the service in 2008 and once my son was born, I trade it for a sedan as it was more practical. Now watching you Sir on this project has fired me up and I had to go get a Willys 41 as a tribute to The US Army and all the soldiers I served with. My spouse wasn’t happy of course so I put the blame on your channel as an excuse for motivating me, just kidding. Thank you for sharing Sir.

[@andymckane7271]

Thank you for your service! Our country has a 250-year history of depending on the men and women who serve in our armed forces. A. McKane IV, former hospital corpsman, U.S. Navy, 24 August 1970 to 10 November 1971.

[@michaelbianchi8669]

Fantastic video guys! Love the attention to detail and the homage paid to the original. Favorite part is paying tribute to the WWII veteran. Very classy. Looking forward to the future videos on this build.

[@Gunmetalbluejeeptjs]

This Jeep is insane ! And a tan top would be sick !

[@txmojave4546]

Thanks CARL. The wood grain is a nice detail. Looking good guys.

[@jobakerbassfishin]

Love the channel. Love the build. Fun to watch y’all.👍🏼😎

[@Warped2023]

Looking great and I really like the color matching so far. Great job and loved the story about Carl Will.

[@Anthony-qj7qe]

Well done, it looks great! I'm looking to get my first Jeep this year!! 😊😊

[@jonathanmasters6041]

Just amazing! I love the build your doing and everything going on! I look forward to every week to all the videos you do and put out. Thank you ❤

[@shawngosciminski9300]

Ive been waiting patiently for the next video.. and finally its here... love everything you're doing. I cant wait to see the end results... great job matt and ryan .

[@mariodelrosario9578]

Great job Matt, I wouldn't worry about other people's comments, looks fantastic. I would paint the steel wheels also, even if your adding a bigger tire, and a original military gas can would look great next to spare tire

[@Gladiatorguy1998]

Love that color.

[@austinp3459]

I was worried about all the color matching and don’t like to make judgement mid build, but this looks awesome. Everything is painted on military vehicles to prevent corrosion, and all the same color to reduce logistical support of transporting and stocking different paints. Can’t wait to see what’s next!

[@DIRTROADCRED]

Very insightful, thank you for the comment and for the kind words!

[@logans3844]

Owning a Jeep in this color and watching this video makes me extremely jealous!

[@leerfarmer]

Looks good‼️

[@DIRTROADCRED]

🙏

[@NickD-mm4xg]

Looking forward to seeing more on this one. I just put a deposit on a a 2025 sport. Same as this 41 color. I’m getting the V6 manual though. I’m 58 and this will be my first jeep. Real enjoy your channel.

[@tennjeep7200]

Looks awesome. Love it. Looking forward to the next steps.

[@belleviewaquatics8435]

I understand getting choked up, my grandfather was a dispatch rider, and his younger brother was a tail gunner in a Lancaster. Yup, Canadian here, the younger brother was shot down and didn't come home . We were raised to remember his sacrifice, and still at 59 years of age every time I tell the stories of my grandfather's and his brothers (3 of them went) WWII memories I get choked up. It was horrific what those young men had to do, but it fills you with so much pride you can't help but to weep.

[@gilbertferguson1685]

Good stuff guys. Drove jeeps in the Army and never thought I would own one. The Army jeeps were susceptible to rolling over so you had to be careful. Keep it going in the new year. 😎

[@ryt2carry]

What you’ve done so far is fantastic. It really looks great with all the color matched parts. I’m looking forward to seeing what you have in store for the rest of it.

[@Crab44]

i have to say... it's AWESOME! i love ALL of it!

[@explore_off_road]

I like it. I'm digging all the colour matching... once the fenders and bumpers are done,it'll look sweet. Maybe too far, but we will see. Ya, take the Wrangler sticker off

[@stevetritle2101]

I just told my wife my 2020 Sarge Green Willys is perfect. Then you do this.

[@ramcharger1978]

The taillights are my favorite overall but I love the painted mirrors and door handles.

[@stevenbrunner4216]

The mirrors and taillights are my favorite.

[@Dmh06178]

Love the lights

[@foto-iparke8950]

Thank you guys and Carl for your service 🫡

[@OmarHelmy]

I do not like colour matching on Jeeps. But I love what you are doing here, makes so much sense. Thank you

[@alfredvautour]

I love what you did to the new Jeep, I would so consider doing the same thing to mine, when I get it 🙂

[@jeremy3747]

I'm not always a fan of all color matching, BUT.... this is AWESOME!!!!

[@brandons3624]

I think you are hitting a home run!!! Nice follow through on the concept of doing a war style Jeep. I want to recommend not doing the cliche air vent decals for the location of the nose art. I can’t put a finger on where it should go, but the vent isn’t the place. Great work guys, keep it up, I look forward to what is to come!

[@DC_7248]

I was hesitant about this project when you announced it but I watched, and I like it so far. Good job! I think you should ditch the wrangler decals.

[@captainprizzle8166]

Beautiful Jeep. Nice Color too

[@W1lh3lm-hk1nj]

Looking forward to keeping up with this.... you've got me looking at 2025 2 door, 41 color jeeps

[@LukeEdward]

Youse a sneaky sneaky. Quite enjoyable video, Ryan. Oh, and you too Matt (haha). Are you going to color match them black bolts, too?

[@DIRTROADCRED]

Luke!!! Your new profile pic is throwing us off. Definitely need to paint them.

[@lovmyrx7841]

Picking up my 2 door wrangler in ‘41 this Monday! So glad I stumbled across this channel. Seeing all these color matched parts is making me drool 😆. My wallet is already feeling the burn. How do we think some tan-type seat covers would tie in? 🤔

[@HiiImChris]

On the grill, it would be cool of the grate texture in each of the slots was either removed or painted in a black so dark it looks like it's open. Imo it's just the texture in each slot that makes it a little much. Stil looks good

[@grantjohnson8396]

i LOVE what you have done so far ! SPOT ON ! i’d do the same as i’m a military jeep nut. Yes, pull off the Wrangler decal. Maybe the only change might have been round lights at the rear, if available. Can’t wait to see how you change the fenders. Probably a flat fender style up front ! And others have said, a tan soft top, again if available. Any thoughts of a different tire tread design ?

[@ChevyDude81]

Absolutely love it!

[@FrenchCoops]

The grill looks so sweet!

[@EricdaRED95]

I love the color matching. It looks good and honors the theme even though black accents always look good also. The decals not being perfect also match the theme. Original Willys MB decals weren't meticulously painted on as they were military vehicles. Remove the wrangler logo, strap some shovels and such around the outside, and modify the fuel tank to fit under the driver seat are my suggestions.

[@ramon6point4]

Half doors with a tan upper section with a tan softop. Also the new mopar flat fenders

[@SpyderDan1985]

It looks awesome!

[@MikeDodds]

When you do your thing with the fenders you should put the tire pressure on them.

[@backwoodstherapy]

I know you’re going to do what you want with the build, but might I suggest some wheels that look close to the original military style ones, with some skinny knobby tires? Toyo makes a 255/80r17 mid terrain that measures out to about a 33.5” tire and you could run that with no lift, especially if you change out the fender flares. Can’t wait to see what you choose!

[@AndrewBaker924]

I really like this Willys Jeep build so far! I agree Matt about having the taillights as a simple halogen. They look good color matched and fits the build well. Don’t know what your plans are for the tires and wheels. Maybe you can color match the current oem steel wheels and put them on a set of 33 inch at tires.

[@ChandlerHill-mb8my]

Thank you guys for this build, it speaks to the respect you have for our country and those men. You are doing a terrific job! I love the taillights, probably my favorite, but it all looks good, each piece is purposeful, the anvil on the side badges, how thoughtful, and to share the reason is just great! (Do take the wrangler stickers off ;) I really look forward to the fenders, I’m hoping for a steel fender that carry’s the old flat fender look. I’m sure you’ll pick something fitting! Seriously guys if there’s any way you could get a set of wheels from jeep’s new 41 edition that would be an AMAZING touch. For real!!! I don’t know if it’s possible to match the tread from the old days, but as skinny of tire as fits that rim would be so cool. Idk if that’s possible or feasible but I’ll dream about it in the mean time lol! I’ll be happy with whatever you guys do with it, you are doing such a great job. Honestly I am so excited about this build. A wonderful time period of our nation’s history, and you guys are doing an amazing job honoring it. Thank you for your time, energy, resources, respect, honor, and heritage you are investing into this build. It’s wonderful guys

[@DIRTROADCRED]

We're going to do our best to stick with our initial vision for this build, stay tuned for the fender reveal!

[@nomadynofficial]

A thin piece of clear PPF could be installed where the latches make contact.

[@grantjohnson8396]

i LOVE what you have done so far ! SPOT ON ! i’d do the same as i’m a military jeep nut. Maybe the inly change might have been round lights at the rear, if available. Can’t wait to see how you change the fenders. Probably a flat fender style up front ! And others have said, a tan soft top, again if available. Any thoughts of a different tire tread design ?

[@Stitch341]

Definitely do a tan top😎

[@SK-rk5dd]

Great job! Only issue I have is with the grill, I would of painted the 7 slots in Anvil to match the trail badge and jeep logo. I think that would of really stood out and look sharp.

[@roamingwithrob75]

Did you have the link for the stencils?

[@MattPotteiger]

Very cool build. I look forward to the bumpers, fenders, and interior changes. Question… Assuming you guys will be folding the windshield for shows later this year… how will you tie it down since the bumper covers close-in the tie-down loops? Perhaps they can be modified to work.

[@lizlopezsmiles]

I might be a loner on this but I would have loved to see this 41’ build up, in a matte paint job. I think it’s a great color but it’s too glossy or me. 😅 I’m still eager to see how this turns out 😊

[@Master-Blaster-4x4]

i like it! didnt think i would buy i do, but you NEED wheels like new jeep wyllis + MORE WOOD GRAIN LUV IT!!!

[@alexeitikhonenko912]

Everything looks great. But for the grille I would have left the inside/honeycomb of the slats in black. That would have looked closer to the original and made the slats more pronounced.

[@Satanslilhellpr]

Love seeing the transition! Might have missed it and feel a little dumb asking, what is sticking out of the grill on the driver's side? Antenna mount? Thanks n keep em coming!

[@mattstocke5340]

I didn’t think I would like so much color match but I’m liking it. I don’t think it would work so much color match on another color. I hope you do some “pizza cutter” tires to make it look vintage

[@DIRTROADCRED]

Agreed!

[@LukeEdward]

@@DIRTROADCRED100% agreed! Steelies with 35x10.50R17. Coker does a Tornel “750-17” that would look cool, too. Maybe even paint the wheels “‘41” colour, as well. 1.25” body lift install would be just enough to fit them. And, perhaps this is self-serving, but I don’t think ANYONE has done a well-done video on body lifting the JL’s, yet.

[@SteveBadger-l9c]

Paint it all 41 green and be done with it. It looks great, but paint it all green and its gonna be right for the heritage side of this build .

[@domawi84]

Paint match those rims in the same color ❤

[@chuckasarus]

Remove the Wrangler sticker and a tan roof would look real nice.

[@0661mike]

I would love to get the same wood grain colored windshield bumpers.

[@TireDude05]

PLEASE tell me it would be possible to pick out a pair of the hydro dipped wood grain windshield bumpers. Those look stellar.

[@CraneDog84]

Can you do a video on adding the High Altitude mirrors with lights?

[@darrenroos6408]

If you are going for a WWII look why not use the OG JL grill with the longer slots?

[@silverlover5817]

Nice, thanks for the video. Please make a review video for a 2025 "Wrangler Sport S" 2-doors, 6-speed manual transmission. 🚙

[@Jeepsafari1972]

Super cool

[@Jeepsafari1972]

Its beautiful car men 41 Paint bumpers end the fenders green wow men

[@RazerView]

Looking good.

[@andymckane7271]

Looking great! It's close to perfect. A. McKane IV, 5 January 2025

[@GoXplr]

Shes looking good guys 👌

[@smitty_lj]

Replace bumpers an flares with Motobilt and paint match

[@KevinSmith-wr1sy]

Looking great but why not swap out the grill for the 2018 to 2023 grill which looks more historically correct?

[@Loss8131]

Got to get half doors for this.

[@donjerome536]

Any chance you might color match the fabric dash somehow? I’ve always thought the new fabric Dash looks out of place… Thoughts? Thanks.

[@raymonddietz8668]

What brand are the keyhole covers?

[@saljablo2767]

This is cool for content but the best thing you can do with a jeep like this is keep it stock as possible. Maybe slightly bigger tires and tint the windows.

[@DIRTROADCRED]

You will like the way we build it

[@mikelauramcguire]

You didn't list where to get the stencils. I would love to see a tan top. A gladiator with 41 paint should get an M715 front with a tan top. The build is looking Great so far.

[@wheelzwheela]

Some dark gunmetal would break things up a bit.

[@chriscamero2874]

The black fenders look fine, but I'm interested to see what you do with them. Delete the Wrangler sticker. Great content.

[@HiiImChris]

Do they just buy oem paint ? Or do they have to custom make it

[@DIRTROADCRED]

They have a fully outfitted paint shop, using factory colors, accent colors, etc. almost all parts are mopar and they have about 15 steps into each piece!

[@bendmacmanufacturing2744]

Can you guys design some grill lights for older grille stlye

[@DIRTROADCRED]

We are. Taking some time to engineer it

[@artsohc]

Well Distinction Applied is now getting some of my money…

[@Krystof.Veritae]

Happy 2025 \-/ as far as mods what is your opinion on Oil Catch Cans for the 2.0L turbo ? ....im thinking about it .Some videos state these add pressure and slow down the flow of blow by can cause issues?...any opinion?

[@Bwatt5000]

Do they have colored matched passive entry door handles available for sale?

[@DIRTROADCRED]

Yes they do! We have them on the bikini 392

[@antoniojimenez7103]

Great video....but what about flat color like the originall WWII Jeep and not a gloss paint job? How about a "Jerry Can" and maybe a shovel like the old ones had? A tan canvas top? There are still so many things you can do with this version.

[@DIRTROADCRED]

Stay tuned

[@R.Booster]

Looks far better than factory. Always hated the cheap looking black plastic parts.
