Respectfully disagree that the black fenders are one of the worst things and dorky. I don't like the paint matched fenders. This is what makes Jeep special, we can all customize them to our liking.

[@DIRTROADCRED]

Dorky SPORT fenders, I don’t think black rubicon fenders are bad, but the sports lose so much clearance, only have halogen lights, and just had to go!

[@72hogdog]

I just happen to like the contrast and look of the black fenders and trim on my Rubicon.

[@rainysaurus]

The paint matched rubicon fenders are better, you’re fooling yourself 😂

[@richardroyster2749]

Looks Awesome Ryan!!

[@jply87]

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.

[@ryans9123]

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.

[@DIRTROADCRED]

Appreciate the opinion

[@paulswanholm-do3un]

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

[@bud4au575]

the painted fender flares do not match .. they are close , but look lighter

[@DIRTROADCRED]

They do match, Ryan’s jeep is filthy.

Push an 8mm socket on back side of clip and it comes out without damage

[@DIRTROADCRED]

Good tip!!!

[@michaelmacdonald7342]

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.

[@joezephyr]

The black plastic fenders are best. Look the best and don't get scratched off road.

[@DIRTROADCRED]

Black plastic Sport fenders are the best?

[@christopherhannah1470]

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.

[@DIRTROADCRED]

The rears are not accessible for some of them

[@Wrangzilla]

Hell no. The black flares and black tops are classic.

[@DIRTROADCRED]

Respect your opinion

[@RJ_100]

Classic or not, paint matched looks much better. Black plastic fenders and tops make the Jeep look cheap IMO. The Bronco Raptor really highlights that.

[@GatorAaron]

😂😂 Thinks to self: "shoulda cut off tabs before mounting." Love when I do things outta order. Looks so good with the fender chop! I never noticed the rear fender classic WRANGLER decal. Noice!

[@DIRTROADCRED]

Yes! Thank you!

[@StlrNtn95]

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.

[@Schnazzy_JT]

Looks great Ryan! Making it your own and a stand out from the rest! Thats what its all about!

[@DIRTROADCRED]

Absolutely!

[@Rad392jeep]

Ryan's Jeep looks fantastic!! Distinction applied never fails! Brian is amazing!

[@mikecollin4894]

Absolutely love the color scheme. I wish mine had been available in the Anvil color.

[@ChandlerHill-mb8my]

Good job guys! Thank you for always putting out fun, interesting, and family friendly content. I really do appreciate your guys channel, it’s always fun, and my 5yr old loves watching too. I really like that anvil color, I like the matched fenders, I’ve never loved chopped fenders, but the color match makes up for it to me 😉 it’s a great looking jeep Ryan, thank you for sharing

[@funnflexable2005]

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!

[@cledus_405]

I just got the bushwaker flares. I personally don’t care about getting painted fender flares since mine is black, and I already have a bunch of pinch stripes. If I did not have a black jeep. I would definitely go for something like that.

[@hunterlorusso]

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.

[@DIRTROADCRED]

Awesome! Thanks for watching!

[@Demon_Outlaw]

Ryan reaching the jeep Gold standard 🎉 . Reminded me of Cherokee in 80s

[@rsmith8385]

Change the aux battery when you rip the fenders. You can access from below

[@DIRTROADCRED]

Good idea!

[@LOVE-62]

You can pull those clips off on the backside with some needle nose, pliers, pretty simple other than the one towards the bottom you gotta break it off.

[@DIRTROADCRED]

Great tip!

[@Yo_Dadas_Kitchen]

Sometimes less is more. The fenders look great. The other items are a distraction

[@MrJeepCanada]

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? 🙂

[@DIRTROADCRED]

These are black sport fenders, just about worthless

[@russellwolter5153]

Starting to look like an 80's Cadillac with all the gold trim.

[@markthomas6523]

How about gold wheels or gold accent on the black wheels? I think that would look good!! Channel is awesome!!

[@andybate9017]

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

[@alfredlopez1977]

Doesn’t look like the color matches?

[@auduffer]

I'm planning to do the distinction applied parts, but actually go with matte black just because i like the contrast on my earl, but eliminates the fade of the plastic.

[@DIRTROADCRED]

Do it!

[@badassbowtie572]

Two nice looking jeeps more i see your jeep the more i want a 4 door rubicon

I like the contrast. Black with whatever colour.

[@DIRTROADCRED]

[@321jono]

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

[@DIRTROADCRED]

Respect your opinion! Thanks for watching

[@RR-24]

The accent reminds me of those gold AK’s in the cartel movies….I guess I am a classic black or gun metal grey accent kind of person….but not my jeep. Happy Ryan is loving it and that you all are doing so well with the channel. Enjoy! And, keep doing you!

[@DIRTROADCRED]

Thanks for watching!

[@ClaytonOffRoad]

Ryan's getting ready for some 40s!

[@hardlifesurvivor4404]

I would probably also do the gas cap the back kinda looks like its missing something, kinda plain

[@randyroy3163]

That color match looks outstanding on Ryan jeep 👍

[@DIRTROADCRED]

I think so too!

[@ArtbyPatrickPetruccello]

:) now just pinstrip it in gold and you are back in the 80's!

[@plaquatra]

Paint matched fender are the way to go but only one half of the hood latches are gold? Hmmm

[@erikjohnson7866]

Love the gold hood latches!! 💛

[@DIRTROADCRED]

Thanks!!

[@detinate13]

Need some gold on those black wheels

[@Bluto913]

Now that you have the fenders off (you're probably already done and working on post), now would be the perfect time to install some Rock Lights. I haven't seen that you have done any video's on them. Love the Diode Dynamics rock lights but I'm a bit perplexed by where within the fender well would be the optimal mounting location. I'm looking for function/use not "cool" factor. Top of the wheel, back by the door, or towards the bumper? The DD are 1k/per so 1/per wheel should do it, but where to mount? ('23 Rubicon Unlimited) Thx

[@scotthughes29]

Reall like the hood latches, do NOT like the side grill in gold. Love what you guys are doing with this 2 door. Great Jeep Ryan

[@DIRTROADCRED]

Thanks 👍

[@chris-lj9uk]

I dont mind painted fenders at all - however the colour does not look 100% matched

[@shanebrief192]

i say no to the fender vent being gold.

[@adambomb5000]

I wish the chopped fenders didn’t make the back of the rear flare end so high. That section kind of ruins the chopped look for me.

[@jpdrummer86]

Sorry to be a stickler, but the color match is slightly off. I know it’s impossible to get it perfect aftermarket, but it’s certainly noticeable

[@lucwilson1]

The new ones look flimsy without any sort of inner liner.

[@DIRTROADCRED]

For sure. Waiting on the inner fenders

[@DUNEATV]

I actually like the black fenders better…

[@ricklandon3452]

I like the painted matched fenders, did the same thing to my wife's 2023 2 dr sport. The gold is definitely not for me., I did the opposite on my Mojave, took the orange and black decals and all the badging off and replaced it with all black.

[@DIRTROADCRED]

To each their own!

[@shaukeki]

I missed where the rear quarter panel wrangler logos came from

[@Ministryofselfawareness]

I think the paint color doesn’t match the original Anvil. The shade is different.

[@DIRTROADCRED]

The shade is the same Ryan’s jeep is filthy…

[@davidk6668]

Those paint match fenders will just get scratched up.

[@benjaminharman1987]

You lost me the moment you said that the stock black fender flairs look "dorky." I think they look cooler than the painted ones. I specifically chose NOT to have them when I special-ordered my Jeep. Form follows function. Having parts of the body that are most likely to get their paint scratched be scratch-proof because of not being painted but solid in their material and its color is that. It's smart. It's useful. It's cool. Only poseurs go out and blow a bunch of $$$ to replace their Jeep's far superior and with far more utility black fenders with body-painted fenders.

[@DIRTROADCRED]

Stock black ****SPORT**** fenders is exactly what I said looks dorky, they are cheap looking , have halogen lights and don’t allow any clearance.

[@michaelgoddard4122]

What tube doors are you running on the jeep?

[@AlexMiami83]

This higher fenders look awesome but other … is way to much bronze-gold pieces from my point of view 🧐

[@explore_off_road]

Sorry, but i don't like the higher fender flares... Well the front ones. Might look a little better with the front light and fender liners. I like the Factory colour matched fenders better. But we will see when the rest gets there.

[@DIRTROADCRED]

[@kkibilds]

Paint does not match and it’s not because the Jeep is filthy, which it actually isn’t. It’s just a different tone.

I really don’t like the gold pieces. It looks like something a girl would do to her jeep. I like the Rubicon fenders but when you try to color match, it has to be perfect. Otherwise it’ll look terrible. You’ll hate it. I would have stayed with an anvil/black color scheme. it would have a more masculine look. I love the two door JL. I have one myself.

I went to their site and started getting my wish list together. After this video I’m not quite sold. I have the same 24 2 door sport in anvil though mine is the v6. I like where you’re going with it, but for the cost I would hope the match would be closer. I know paint is hard to match.
