Jeep Gladiator Mojave American Adventure Lab Fender Upgrade - With Custom Paint!

[@howardjohns2821]

Love the shoutout to FL! I live here and our state is actually its own free country. We don't have to worry about enjoying any freedoms while being bothered by others.

[@Kevin_604]

Those look great, really like the cleaner look of the light over the stock ones.

[@gerard0l6569]

Personally I like the stock fenders better. Great video, man that seemed like alot of work for fenders!

[@EddiTaru]

Same. Stock are just perfect.

[@ThisCrazyLifeOfFive]

The bed liner on the finders is amazing!!

[@wifeswapper1]

I love the light and fenders and liners

[@stanleylambert4928]

AAL mod was one of the first things I did on my GRubicon! Well worth the cost of the upgrade! I added their inner front fenders too and plan on the rears a bit later on down the road! One of my lights had the driving light portion stop working and they made it right, Fantastic customer service!

How much

The back seats are spacious. A car seat is no problem.

[@MrBrewzr]

Looks great, love your videos

[@EPIC-4WD]

Glad you like them!

[@kevinvoyer5053]

Wow looks fantastic! Great video with exceptional execution. But I have a question, how durable will the powder coated fender liners be and how will they hold up over time. Because I think if I went all through that I would have had them bed liner material prepped, only because I know how durable and long lasting that can be, plus adds sound deadening. But those fenders look awesome, really clean but functional. I live in Central Florida, but absolutely hate tire poke! I will eventually be adding mud flaps to my new 2024 JT, that as a retired couple that craves adventure, but our bodies just don’t have the endurance, need to keep things as simple and comfortable as possible, no more mud running or difficult hill climbs, mostly beach adventure runs. So the only mods I’ll do to the suspension will be the best overall OEM replacement aftermarket shocks with no lift, or width, as I’d rather have better hydroplane resistance in heavy rain, so when ready an inch or two taller tires will do. This is my first coil sprung Wrangler based Jeep and very surprised how well it rides, better ride on smooth and rough roads and trails, but not the precise steering and handling as my last truck, a 2019 Colorado Crew Cab 4x4, with a 2” leveling kit with Bilstein 5100’s, that really helped smooth big hits out. But still felt every single mark in the road, especially compared with the JT! I’m also a new subscriber here and look forward to your videos.

[@sacredshogun6325]

Looks very good. I am looking to do the clear protection wrap.

Correct. and you need to do lots of things. Hit us up. We're 4XE experts ;-)

[@newbwheeler9777]

Those turn signals have been on my short list since I ordered my Jeep. I’m just waiting for them to do them in a clear lens. They would match the headlight so much better. Super clean install of the whole whole fender/light assembly!🤟😜

[@loriharton271]

I have the AAL lights and they are great.... Except I am not a fan of the "dingy" look of the lenses when not lit. I was thinking a solution may be to spray paint an opaque white or gray? Maybe window tint, would it stick? What do you guys think? Let me know.

[@samhouston5217]

Thank you for the instructional. Looks great! Lotta work though. LOL. Hey, question, what sway bar disconnects are those?

I think the fenders are awesome. The paint match bedliner looks great. What do you think about spraying the sides of the Mojave with the paint matching bedliner?

While that's certainly an option (eg. Starwood motors does this quite a bit), I don't know that you'd want textured paint on the body panels ;-) That... and the cost.

I like your vids and have subscribed. One thing is the fenders don't quite look Stingray gray. Am I wrong or is it just the camera not picking up true color?

The fenders are colour matched, however it's bed liner, so it's not going to be 100% of a match with the texture. Looks great in person tho ;-)

@@raizacalderon4327 Any paint shop should be able to match the sting grey colour as it's a standard Jeep paint colour. However, as noted above, it's not going to match 100% as the texture affects how it looks.

Were your fenders black plastic originally or painted? I have the black plastic but now was thinking of doing bed liner in white.

[@dougenyart9243]

Haha you're not going to tell them not to snug everything up till the end this was a must for me to get them on especially the rear ones but looks so good the jt probably wouldn't need the back ones the jl has welds and other stuff with a few love taps with a hammer and the adjustability with keeping everything loose went right on every jeep is different so just keep this in mind when installing inerfinderliners you might be the first person with this issue I was with american adventure lab took me several hours on the phone with them and 2 days scratching my head till I figured it out

I know since this video your gladdy has evolved a bunch. But when you did this install and flexed at the end, were your links hitting anywhere on the inner fenders? I have the apex links and would like to get those inner fenders. Just curious if I will have to do any cutting to the inners.

[@EPIC-4WD]

Yeah, we had to let go of the Apex Links as they hit the inner fenders. Bummer because they are cool.

[@calebnafziger7226]

Are the stock rear painted fenders riding enough to just drive on the highway without flapping all over and the bracing is taken out?

[@EPIC-4WD]

Yep - works fine. No flopping ;-) We did replace the typical OEM white clips with black metal fasteners, which are shown in the video.

Are these very flimsy plastic or pretty sturdy ? I was debating between these and Rugged Ridge but I heard negative reviews about how flimsy Rugged Ridge's is. Thank you in advance for your response
