Thanks for watching! What should we paint match next?

[@tonymanno2132]

The interior trim please the red gotta go 😂

[@romeojagernauth9221]

The fender

[@deidara7117]

how about flare extender

[@keychain8920]

Bumper color match would be pretty sick to see

[@wrangler70jkujeep74]

Bolts on tire carrier small details make huge difference break up black.

Another great one guys. I love the cardboard box trick for painting bolts. I also love the paint match to an aerosol can. Lots of interesting insights. Thanks DRC. Keep up the great videos!!!!

[@DIRTROADCRED]

Thanks Michael! Always glad to have you here!

[@mikeschmitt5273]

Nice job. The added color definitely ties in the wheels way better. Looks killer!

Nice job, Matt. Jeep looks fantastic!

Nice job man! I had no idea stores could paint match a spray can - that's super helpful. Eventually I want to grab a set of those same wheels for my Granite Mojave, with some nice 🍊 on the rings, of course. :)

[@DIRTROADCRED]

Glad I could help!

Painted bead lockers look great…! Good information for painting prep. How would your red dash look color matched..?? I also am thinking Napa can help me with a small container of touch up for my cosmo blue JK.

[@DIRTROADCRED]

I think the dash would look great !

[@boldrbangr9834]

Looks great! Did the same thing to my JLUR, but in powder coat. My Firecracker Red was a lot easier to match than the HV Yellow. Definitely do the dash. Nice job 👍

[@DIRTROADCRED]

That's awesome! Send some pics to [e-mail]

[@johngrant1337]

nice work good video

[@DIRTROADCRED]

Thanks John!

[@thomasrossi31]

Looks great.

[@DIRTROADCRED]

Thanks!!!

[@miken9484]

That looks really nice. Next thing to color match should be the dash.

[@DIRTROADCRED]

Good call!

[@nathanbritton1019]

OK. That really looks good.

[@DIRTROADCRED]

I think so too! Maybe my dads Gobi next?

[@williamh6547]

Looks great 👍, I would say the red dash and tow hooks could be paint matched. That looks really good 👍👍

[@DIRTROADCRED]

That’s a great idea I actually was thinking of both of those off camera!

[@a_thomas3584]

Damn this is a nice look!

[@DIRTROADCRED]

Thank you!

[@mariojr6843]

Looks nice

[@DIRTROADCRED]

Thank you!

[@HIMcules2112]

Looks amazing! I still want to do this to my white JL orange rings to match amber KC lights. You should color match the dash too.

[@DIRTROADCRED]

Great call!

[@khalftruck3079]

Looks good. Not a bad project to do. Don’t know if I would like the dash that color but hay it’s yours and if the wife says👍 your good to go. Keep up the great videos. I’m going to call you about a new gladiator.

[@DIRTROADCRED]

Thanks for that! I’m debating what color on the dash!

[@jonathanmasters6041]

Omg - that looks wicked sick!! Love the match of it! Surprised jeep does not give it as a factory option yet....hahah

[@DIRTROADCRED]

Thanks for the kind words!

[@johnrossi6212]

This is by far my favorite color they offer. The painted bead locks really set it off. I think I would paint the red on the dash this color. Was thinking maybe the tow hooks also.

[@DIRTROADCRED]

Great points, we were thinking the same also!

[@johnrossi6212]

Sweet!!! You just don’t want to go to crazy and do too much.

[@swiftshark]

Looks sick man! I’m getting ready to paint match my rear bumper tow hook on my 2020 hella yella. I’m starting to run out of mods lol

[@DIRTROADCRED]

Definitely a fun project!

[@jorgevizcarra4437]

You guys should do this to your dads Willy’s jeep but it looks awesome 🔥

[@DIRTROADCRED]

Great idea!

[@valenUS]

Well done :)

[@DIRTROADCRED]

Thank you!

[@alexkuehne3822]

Finished product looks awesome. I had done this on my previous JLU with those wheels and the corrosion on the bolts was a real problem. Perhaps a video on how to take apart the grill inserts and paint them to get rid of the silver or make a single or double strip out of them?

[@DIRTROADCRED]

That would be neat!

[@dennisr7452]

That is a great color match, nice job. Are you planning to color match the half doors? Thanks for posting. 👍

[@DIRTROADCRED]

Still planning on it!

[@vinjkdiesel3122]

Matt, you may want to consider using a wheel wax to protect the wheels, especially during the winter here in PA. I used a wax from chemical guys, based in LA, & it worked very well. They have many types of wax for various colors & materials, including vids to show how to apply it. I stopped after gouging my wheels off roading, now I just don't care as much. I am looking for new wheels & you may have just inspired me. 🤙🏽🤙🏽🤙🏽

[@DIRTROADCRED]

Thats a great point, appreciate it!

[@emerrilljr]

looks GREAT!!!! I am not a fan of color matching..... but i think this looks really good. Nice job and great video...

[@DIRTROADCRED]

Thank you for the kinds words!

[@emerrilljr]

@@DIRTROADCRED Not dinging your choice to color match. That’s what makes Jeep’s special. You do what suits you. Some color match and some are more traditional (me). 😀😀😀

[@JeepCherokeeful]

Order the wrangler with body color roof and fenders, then vinyl wrap the fender flares to match the bumpers;)

[@DIRTROADCRED]

Color match everything!

[@adammiller1479]

That’s where I went for fire cracker red to do my roll bar on my JK.

[@DIRTROADCRED]

Great choice!

[@adammiller1479]

@@DIRTROADCRED always matches perfect

[@adventurefuel5172]

Looks great. I’m a little too conservative for that yellow. Your dad’s Jeep is more my speed, but I like the end result. 👍🏽

[@DIRTROADCRED]

Thanks 👍

[@OnMyMemoryCard]

Great video! Is there a recommended torque for the ring bolts?

[@DIRTROADCRED]

I’d say around 20 lb ft, they are only holding the ring

[@JeepCherokeeful]

Second best reason to have beadlocks!

[@DIRTROADCRED]

😎😎😎

[@lonewulf0328]

Gotta color match the dash panel and gauge cluster rings.

[@DIRTROADCRED]

That’s what I’m thinking!

[@battleboy2138]

THAT WOULD LOOK GOOD ON MY SXS BEADLOCKS

[@DIRTROADCRED]

DO IT!!

[@LukeEdward]

Hey, Matt, is there a video showing us a way to color match the dashboard out there? HA Kidding!!

[@DIRTROADCRED]

LOL you’re correct!

[@Tango_Mango_RT_345]

I wanna see you paint match your dash!

[@DIRTROADCRED]

Maybe we'll match my dads in Gobi!

[@mikehartman9716]

I just got my Rubicon XR from you and I love it. You guys rock. I CAN't find the bead lock rings anywhere. Can you help me?

[@DIRTROADCRED]

Thanks Mike! I'll look back on the footage and see if I can grab a part number!

[@bellyisis]

I’m a parts coordinator for a body shop,I looked & found this.Triple check to see if this is the correct #. Mopar aluminum wheel kit part# P5160110

[@KaosJeep]

I’d do the dash panels and maybe call it good after that. HVY is right up there with Punkin’. Easy to go overboard with it and end up looking cheesy. Although I know you wouldn’t go that far.

[@DIRTROADCRED]

Definitely easy to go too far, I think the dash will turn out great!

[@Xcon00]

@DRC Would you do this the same way if you wanted to make the ring silver?

[@DIRTROADCRED]

Yes!

[@brandon062487]

My xr 2023 high tide has 10 bolt beadlock ring question for you do you know if underneath does it still have all the bolt holes for a normal beadlock.

[@DIRTROADCRED]

Yes it does

[@JasonWendling]

Matt, do you have any references to share for how to convert the wheels to beadlock? From what I understand, they come from the factory not beadlocked.

[@DIRTROADCRED]

That’s a good idea!

[@Lopez_67]

I'm about to paint my bright red rings satin black. I was going to sand or blast them to bare aluminum, would that be overkill? Your wheels turned out great!

[@DIRTROADCRED]

I think it might be a little overkill for prep work, these turned out awesome!

[@Lopez_67]

@@DIRTROADCRED Thank you! You just saved me hours of work and a hell of a headache lol. I got a quote from my local paint shop to sand blast and powder coat them, but it was as much as just buying new rings. So DIY rattle can special it is! Haha Thank you again and happy trails!

[@robl6044]

I turned out really good quick question what do you recommend to do on the frame as the frames go chalky and where the welds are rust what do you recommend

[@DIRTROADCRED]

Frame I normally touch up or paint with VHT frame paint

[@andrewsoto6602]

I got a quick question for you, I had a 2023 Jeep Wrangler Rubicon with the xtreme recon package. I’m looking to upgrade the OEM red shocks for some Fox shocks, can you give me some advice in what Shocks would work with the xtreme recon package? Thanks. Andrew Soto

[@DIRTROADCRED]

Hey Andrew I would go for the 1.5-3 inch fox shocks, I have a set of the 3.5-4.5 inch that I will be installing with my life

[@andrewsoto6602]

@@DIRTROADCRED I appreciate your prompt response, however I can’t find any fox shocks with the specs that you proposed for my jeep, any suggestions?

[@andrewsoto6602]

@@DIRTROADCRED let me see if I understand correctly, you said that I can do 1.5 shocks and go up 3inches in lift shocks? Or some shocks recommended to be 1.5 to 3 inch lift.

[@kayancampingandoverland1487]

KM3 37” will fit on Xtreme Recon package?

[@DIRTROADCRED]

They will be close, the mopar 2 inch lift on the XR clears 37s no problem!

These are the factory Xtreme recon wheels!

[@sellickusa]

Color match the recovery hooks

[@DIRTROADCRED]

Great idea!

[@MrJeepCanada]

It's weird if you look at the products jeep sells on Mopar PDF they show them coloured to your specific vehicle.

[@DIRTROADCRED]

You’re right they do!

[@michaelbinkley5310]

What was the prep chemical you used..?

[@DIRTROADCRED]

I used TSP on these!

[@hardlifesurvivor4404]

Wouldn't plastic dipping them work just as well

[@DIRTROADCRED]

It would work, just not sure how long it would hold up, or be the exact colors!

[@BUCKEYEMANIA.]

If you don’t know the paint color can they still make it? Would like to do this to my rings in the rebicon red hood letters. Since my jeep is white. White rings would look bad.

[@DIRTROADCRED]

Yes they actually have a paint color machine that they can match it exactly too, it’s a larger camera style object that they can walk out to your jeep!

[@BUCKEYEMANIA.]

@@DIRTROADCRED thanks! I will check my local Napa out.

[@NHENTERTAINMENTTV]

Which beadlock rings did you get? Model number?

[@DIRTROADCRED]

These were the stock XR rings

[@NHENTERTAINMENTTV]

OK thanks

[@americanpatriot8996]

What rims are those ?

[@DIRTROADCRED]

They are the Xtreme recon factory wheels

[@danielmiller4354]

These rings have nothing to do with the tire pressure correct? I was going to remove them and take them in to get painted. I’ll have to continue to drive my Jeep though as it is my daily. Would suck to walk out and have all flats 😂

[@DIRTROADCRED]

Nope you will be fine!

[@danielmiller4354]

Awesome thank you.

[@pittste88]

I notice you call it an immitation ring but jeep calls it beadlock capable, do they not really function as beadlocks?

If you replace the ring with the functional ring it will work!
