This week I finally get to install the Jeep Wrangler Fender Flares that i've been holding onto for almost 2 years! Its a long time coming but we get the Aluminum Fenders installed and they look fantastic! I went with the Aries Offroad Aluminum Fender Flares for the Jeep Wrangler because they cost much less than something from Poison Spyder or Crawler Concepts. These Fenders don't have the same inner framing that the Poison Spyder and Crawler Concepts Fender Flares come with so if I bash into a rock there is a chance I could damage the body. But I couldn't justify the extra expense, so here we are. I'm really excited to get this upgrade done, as you will see in the video, completely changes the look of our Jeep Wrangler Rubicon.
My good friends over at Agility Customs got these powder coated for me and the color looks fantastic! Agility Customs is one of many great shops in the Salt Lake area and I highly recommend checking them out if you're local and need any Offroad upgrades.

Watch to the end to check out the before and after comparison!
Dont know if anyone gives a shit but if you guys are stoned like me during the covid times you can watch pretty much all of the new movies and series on InstaFlixxer. Have been watching with my brother these days xD
@Abdullah Kaison Yea, been using instaflixxer for since december myself :)
Great information, very helpful for me and my project. Looks amazing with lots of extra room for tires and flex. Well done! ✌️
pwrofgrayskull i appreciate it. I'm glad this helped and I agree they will help a lot with flexing
Nice truck job well done just got my finders now I want to paint them
Looks great, nice work!
CC 76 thanks! Changes the look of the Jeep completely
Love it they look awesome
I appreciate it, i'm happy with the turnout.
Completely changed the look especially with the color match powder coat. Nice job and nice Jeep.
completely different look isn't it. Thanks for the kind words
Looks amazing! Great job! I like the width and the look!!
Awesome thank Darrin! Just trying to keep with you ;)
Nah! I want to get rid of the plastic fenders and go with something like this. I like it!
Very nice !
Dang, that looks Sweet!
Todd Kirst thank you. They turned out great and gave me the extra room I needed to run 37s
Looks sweet
Looks great being color matched. Love seeing someone else running white letters. I’m a big fan of white letters. Buying new tires this month and will need to paint my own white letters as so many companies have quite making them.
Check out Tirestickers.com
Looks great! Definitely looks better than the airplane wings. 😁
Jeff Boyd haha! Totally agree
Looking forward to seeing the 37's.
you and me both!
Great looking fenders! Agree with another poster’s assessment, for 37’s you’ll need to trim the pinch seam on the anterior side of the rear wheel well to avoid rub.
MsEmmaHale possible. A lot of people do that. I was able to push the rear axle back another 1" so i have a good amount of clearance there now. I'll know when I get the tires mounted.
I’m still learning, so forgive the question if it’s basic - you pushed the rear axle back with longer control arms?
MsEmmaHale exactly. With the Rock Krawler X Factor lift the control arms are fully adjustable so I extended them 1" to push the axle in a better location.
Love the use of anterior. Well done 💪🏽👏
I was wondering if you know what the backspacing or offset of your rims are?
Looks good. You may need to cut the back pinch seams when you go with 37s. I went with Gen Right fenders and inner liners on my 2016 JK. Color matched the fenders. Love the look.
Mike Hoffman thanks I'm happy with the way they look installed. Much better then on the garage floor 😂. Yeah I may need to trim with buffet tires
Awesome. See you in Moab.
Chuck Zechman awesome! See you there
Fenders look great! It looks like you need to trim the rear pinch seam still. It would probably rub there before the bumper.
Yeah i might need to do that. I do have an extra inch of clearance back there with the lift i'm running. so i might be able to sneak by. I guess we'll see
Nice lookin fenders. What brand are they I don’t think I herd that ??
Nice
Thanks
Looking pretty sick. Time to to for a rip there bud
Ari Paterson thanks. I agree it's time to go Wheeling!
You want chips from rocks being thrown up from the tires? I think it's nice to have them close to the width of factory.
Fenders look awesome! I just picked up aluminum ones also gonna leave mine black. Quick question. What about the fender supports? Mine have two supports for the rear and two for the front. Also what brand are these?
jason kus thanks I'm happy with the outcome. These are Aries Offroad fenders. Didn't come with any inner supports.
Mine are safariland and came with supports. The fenders and supports are identical to Poison spyder. I think you can buy supports from poison spyder. So the main fender doesn’t flex on a hit. Again love the look!
jason kus that's good to know. I actually thought about looking into just getting the supports for that very reason
These r same fenders I've been wanting,I like the color match,I have the standard black hardtop so can't decide on painting black or my Cosmo blue I painted both my poison spyder bumpers blue
Rick Feemster go with the blue! I don't know if you take the hard top off much but I think it would look good with the blue fenders with or without the top
@@RedRockCrawlers yeah I was thinking same thing since I already painted bumpers
@@rickfeemster2387 Do it! and send pictures haha
Just curious...I installed plastic Bushwacker flat fenders last summer. Lately, I’ve been reading about how dirt and grit eventually work their way in between the fender and sheet metal and wear away the paint which leads to rust. Some folks have put down a barrier between the body and fender like clear 3M tape or a gasket type thing. I didn’t notice that there is anything between the Aries fenders and body - is there no rubbing / corrosion issue with these fenders?
i think plastic fenders tend to vibrate and rub more than solid metal fenders. I'm not saying that won't happen with metal fenders. But if you noticed in the video i had to repaint a few spots because the plastic factory fenders tend to rub a few spots raw.
Do you happen to know the color name of the powdercoat? I read somewhere that "wheel red" was a match but wanting to confirm.
My Jeep is red also and I want the fenders to be colormatched. Thanks!
So the color code for the Jeep body is PR4, thats what I told the powder coat company when I dropped them off. They matched it off that. Hope that helps
What brand flares are they ? I have Poison Spyder front flares bought them a year ago just purchased Poison Spyder rears I hope have had a difficult time locating a pair apparently Poison Spyder isn't fabricating anymore , hopefully I will receive the rears and I'm planning on having mine shot with truck bed liner paint my flares are bare aluminum.
these are a brand that I don't think are made anymore. they are very similar to Poison Spyder
those look great i almost got those but went with the safaripal aluminum with same reinforcements that the poison spyder has for almost 1/3 the cost
rob_RT I've never heard of Safari pal until this video. I'll have to look at them. Have you installed yours yet?
Red Rock Crawlers yes they’re installed. Super sturdy. Best part aluminum!
@@pitbull62 awesome! the aluminum is the way to go, light weight and no rust
Those fenders look great
Thanks Hector! i'm happy with the outcome.
@@RedRockCrawlers I dont like the look of a lot of aftermarket fenders but those are nice. Best of luck with the jeep.
What side marker light did you install in your inner fender?
I got the on amazon. LED amber marker lights.
Are you happy with the width of the fender or would you prefer the narrower? I have a chance to get the narrow fenders.
Yes the width is great for me. I would get narrower if I could because I don’t do much mud. But I’m in Utah and I would be a target for the Highway patrol if they were narrower.
Debating on between the aluminum and steel. How has yours held up? Would you still go with the aluminum option now after having them this long?
I would always go with aluminum, less weight, no rust! the've been great
Where did you get the side blinkers from
got them off amazon
Does anybody know what brand this fenders are?
I know what brand they are 😉
Sorry Einstein, I guess you didn’t understand my question!
Did u add rear fender liners?
no I haven't. I figure they're not really needed since the rear fenders are already enclosed
Looking good. Where did you got them? Any links?
thanks, I think they look so much better than factory. They aren't available where i got them any longer, but I think you can actually get these on amazon.
Do you have a link to where you got those fenders from?
Unfortunately they aren’t sold there anymore.
@@RedRockCrawlers oh okay! What brand are they?
Fenders look amazing! I have a red rubicon as well. Did you paint the hardtop or get someone to trade you?
Nathan Clodfelder they do make a big difference don't they. I traded hard tops but I know people do paint them.
Did you get your hard top painted to
tom adams I actually traded a guy who wanted a black top. Worked out good 👍
What brand is that inner fender?
Those are the Artec Inners
Where did you find all 4 for 500$?
I bought these on Amazon. But I do believe the price has gone up a bit
WHERE CAN I GET THESE FENDERS
Jimbo69 I bought them on Amazon. But Aires Automotive has a website
how about that pinch weld? looks like it could slice right down the middle of the tire!
good question. Many people trim the bottom corners to avoid tire contact. I did a flex test to see if it was rubbing and I had not problems so I left it alone
@@RedRockCrawlers thanks for the reply, my 2 door definitely has issues with that pinch weld luckily the Rubicon rock sliders hit the tire before the pinch weld does. So a trimming of both are in my near future
@@ClownWorldInvasion yeah thats worth doing if you're rubbing. Don't want to ruin tires or body.
better bring that paint to EJS.. were gonna leave a few marks
SamJosh Cohen haha no kidding. We'll need it I'm sure!
Oh man those tires are beat! Lol I’m way to impatient to get my tires down that far! What are you thinking you want to put on for new ones?
T T haha I have another year or so on these! I'm thinking of going with Maxxis RZR.
um, i just checked, poison spyder's front fender flares in aluminum are only $20 more than the aries... and they have all that extra bracing. glad you like the aires, thou. the rears are $40 more for the poison spyders...
dobrzpe where are you getting your price comparison? The Poison Spyder aluminum fenders are $580 per set. $1160 for all 4 right. I just looked. I bought these for about $500 for all 4. Less than half.
poison spyder is out their minds....but people pay for the name
rob_RT haha I can understand buying the brand name parts for some things. But I had a hard time paying more than double for something like fenders
@@RedRockCrawlers from the Ariesautomotive website = 1,095.22 for all 4... guess you got a deal...
dobrzpe ah that makes more sense. Their prices must have gone up. 🤷🏻♂️
Should cut that factory bracket off you’ll get more clearance you don’t need it it cleans up the wheel well
Gold Diamond the fenders bolt directly to that bracket so I left it. I think it may help with rigidity
