Off topic I'm sorry, but I have a question, 2000 xj 4.0 swapped into a better body 98 xj, what am I looking at, is it easy or too many issues? Have slightly wrecked 2000 and can get a 98 with a really good body for cheap.
That little groove they cut out for the wires, the everything that can go wrong will go wrong in me says to cut a little piece of tube and fit over that so the wires have a nice soft plastic/rubber to rest on. Vibration is a hell of a thing, maybe not this year, maybe not in three... but eventually...
Great step-by-step. Just what I was looking for: a tutorial on how to cover up the exposed areas after the DV-8s are installed by using the factory liners when you are keeping the factory wide flares. Thank you so much for laying it all out, showing us how to.
Let us know how the finish holds up. That looks to be paint. I have DV8 bumpers, love the look but the powder coating is poor and I have rust breaking through all over them.
Yeah, but i doubt this will be in anything swampy. Probably trail riding with the family and some light trails. He has the xj and mj for the crazy stuff.
It looks a lot nicer when you cut out the inner fender liner back on to cover up the paint. My only thing is I think that the DVA inner fender liner would annoy me. Just because its metal and if you hit a gravel road, you are going to hear every rock come flying hitting those DVA inner fender liners and peppering it. Soon after they will look all beat up and chipping. With the plastic fender liners you don't have to worry about that and plastic will dampen the sound of flying rocks stuck in your tread.
Gonna be honest, these inner fenders aren't really an upgrade. You're paying an insane premium for aethetics. Not only are they gonna allow more mud to cake up in the places they don't cover, the mesh is gonna allow the mud to cake up and get everywhere it normally wouldn't. They're also gonna rattle and make lots of noise in the gravel and whatnot unless you deaden them which you really can't with the mesh... and even worse, they'll start to add rattles to your ride. 400 bucks for something to do an even worse job of its intended job... I drive an old Cherokee so I have rattles galore, but some folks get irritated with it.
@@scottwest5013 I'm well aware that this is certainly likely sponsored. That's not the point of my comment. Rather, in the off chance DV8 is paying attention to customer and potential customer feedback (which is unlikely - but whatever) that they get it. I understand that the noise of metal inner fenders is paltry to the destruction that plastic flares will see in motorsport applications such as rally racing. I also concede that these may add additional fender clearance for larger tires. I don't have a JL, so I can't confirm this. But the main aspect as to why I and many others wouldn't consider them is they negate the point of even having them by having that mesh/holes drilled in them. Why even bother with them if you're going to just accumulate mud behind them? Gravel/pebbles will likely find its way back there too and you'll end up having to clean them out every so often. Why would I pay 380 dollars for something I might as well leave off? They claim it's to give better airflow in there, but I don't see my washer fluid reservoir needing cooling. There are cheaper options that prevent excessive collection of mud and water from your tires in your engine bay. Let alone better ways to allow airflow without allowing excessive mud, water, and small rocks into your engine bay. Louvers are a thing ya know?
@@scottwest5013 Not to mention there are other options out there that are significantly cheaper with arguably more material... I'll also concede this. It looks cool, but it's not my cup of tea. I prefer more functionality than aesthetics. I'm not keen to spend on aesthetics. I would spend more for functional things rather than paltry baubles and trinkets for the sake of looking cool... I'm clearly not their customer.
I have used two crescent wrenches like this to carefully straighten very bent props on marine drivelines (no warranty on the work lol). If you use two wrenches side by side, you can be more meticulous... but that isn't really a BleepinJeep thing :)
5:48 Notice that rattle noise when he taps it?? That is because the other sides Logo design is vibrating metal to metal. Best thing to do before hand, is to take it apart & add a little line of black silly-cone to the back of the logo & reattach it. That way you don't have to hear rattle noises later while driving the jeep.
I started following you because your fabrication on the scorpion crawler was awesome. This was just boring. You should have made them from scratch. Tig welding aluminum is always fun!
Is this an upgrade? Won't dirt and dust get into the engine bay that much easier? What's the weight difference? Come on, Matt! Are you gonna put every part on that a sponsor sends you, no matter what? What if they send you some truck nutz?
Since he finished the comancheep his been more commercialized and his quality and quantity of videos have went downhill before he bought and built stuff now companies just throw parts at him
When the inner liner is removed, is it attached on the outside with those little rivet head looking clips, not sure what those are called or can you pry around those? I know the bigger clips are the Christmas tree ones. I'm referring to the ones on the outside of the flare that run up and down the liner, small head ones. Thank you.
for your next project buy the Rubicon fenders it will give you 2 more inches of lift at a very low cost of only $500. and while you have them off you can spray them with bed liner so they never turn grey.
Not related to this video, but Matt what do u think about the jeep cherokee trailhawk. Thinking about buying 1 not sure about the Chrysler and fiat thing.
As always, none of the borin stuff, great video!! I know with some other kits available you can use zeus fasteners to remove the panels and this kit has some very small bolts/nuts - any concerns about trailside repairs and/or losing those tiny nuts and bolts in the mud?
First usefull mods should be changing tire on Coopers ST/Maxx much more usefull open tread tire and quieter on road. And you should paint those inner fender liners using some urethane bedliner like Cobra or Raptor to prevent annoying sounds from stones and making them last longer.
Bro please tell me you were going somewhere after making this vid. You seem rushed the whole time. Its jeep time relax my friend...jeeping is all about enjoyin yourself. Love ya dog!
Ain’t success grand? 💗 You’re not doing videos to make your Jeep run good; you’re doing videos to make your Jeep LOOK good (and run better, over bigger rocks, etc) I’m so happy for the success of Bleepin Jeep! You, Matt, are the reason I got into Jeeps!!! ❤️🐞
:)))) Dumbest "mod" I have ever seen, truck nutz included. SO, now your fender liners dont cover the entire frame, + have holes in them, + many joints where water and dirt can get + and can rust, + they weigh more, and in my opinion look like total ass. Unless they payed you, this make 0 sense.
sometimes when watching you on a project is like watching Red Green ...... : )
Looks good!

BEARD0 I’m doing a 97 to 98 swap with everything and it’s all bolt up but I have a distributor while you might have coil packs for ignition
@@jenlajeunesse1600 Yep my good engine is coil pack the 98 has distributor.
I thought you were not gonna build the heck out your wife's Jeep!!!!! Lol...

JCR didnt step up and send you Fenders and Inner Fenders? what the heck?
It would be easier and cheaper just to cut holes in the factory liner and screw in some mesh
But who would sponsor that??
You should work with metalcloak for some fenders.
camera shake turned me vomit green yikes eye nausea aside great video ....stabilizer not to $$
The mesh in those fender liners are gonna let mud and dirt right through.
Yeah, but i doubt this will be in anything swampy. Probably trail riding with the family and some light trails. He has the xj and mj for the crazy stuff.
Matt had his "coffee" this morning! :D
Yep, never seen him in quite that big of hurry before!

Pretty sure he doesnt pay for many parts as most are more than likely sponsored

I was wondering what the inner fenders did for the Jeep but then you said it "Air flow". It all makes sense now. :)
Now u have to worry about water getting into the engine easier
Looks like a 20 minute job that turned into 2 hours. Seems that's how they always go.
2:53 I love it Crescent hammer 😂😂😂

Break and junk all the crappy plastic Jeep puts on those minivans.
Bleeping Jeep: Building the best mall crawlers. None of that boring off-road stuff. Nice Matt.
I know what you can install next. Install my name on the registration papers😂
Only after all the upgrades. LOL.
those sound like they would rattle so much offroad
How about a higher ceiling and door!
great video, thanks for putting the time in to show how to cut the original liner to keep the mud out, great idea!
Excellent video I was told I need aftermarket fenders..
What's the benefit of inner fender? Please can somebody enlighten mw here. I am new to the jeep community
I started following you because your fabrication on the scorpion crawler was awesome. This was just boring. You should have made them from scratch. Tig welding aluminum is always fun!
I love how candid you are in these "how to" videos. Makes me feel comfortable working on my vehicle.
when did we stop making stuff and start installing stuff...
Andrew Browner He’s always “installed” stuff. Just about every Jeep part from rough country is on the channel.
When he got almost 400k subs and the after market people starting sending him stuff for free. Wouldn’t you?
Not mud in the fender flare from the Mall Flowerbeds 🤣🤣🤣
Gonna need some lockers, gears, onboard air, 12v fridge, storage, roof top tent, cooking device etc
Is this an upgrade? Won't dirt and dust get into the engine bay that much easier? What's the weight difference?
Come on, Matt! Are you gonna put every part on that a sponsor sends you, no matter what? What if they send you some truck nutz?
Will dv8 inner fender liners work with falcon shocks
Does this like a rattle trap? The mesh on the liners worries me.
replace the V6 with a hemi!
Remove rear seats - replace with hot tub!
Will these fit with falcon 3.3 shocks?
lol love the increased speed sections
Does this increase the road noise?
Since he finished the comancheep his been more commercialized and his quality and quantity of videos have went downhill before he bought and built stuff now companies just throw parts at him
And what’s the point of these?
Like what do they do that the factory liners don’t?
Breathe air, he said it after installation
When the inner liner is removed, is it attached on the outside with those little rivet head looking clips, not sure what those are called or can you pry around those? I know the bigger clips are the Christmas tree ones.

What side steps are those?
Pull back ever so lightly....UT OH.... Were brothers from different mothers....the UT OH happens to me all the time...LOL
Not related to this video, but Matt what do u think about the jeep cherokee trailhawk. Thinking about buying 1 not sure about the Chrysler and fiat thing.
lift kit and wheels
Does anyone know if salt and water kicking up and getting through these vents will wreck the components in the engine behind the vents over time?
As always, none of the borin stuff, great video!! I know with some other kits available you can use zeus fasteners to remove the panels and this kit has some very small bolts/nuts - any concerns about trailside repairs and/or losing those tiny nuts and bolts in the mud?
You've came a long way I was just watching your half door build you made I 2012 keep up the good work
I have the ace inner fenders blah blah blahs and goddamn do the rattle like a spray can! Idk what to do!!
Diff covers and full body skids ,, my vote..thanks for the video,,, hahaha at the mall in the flower beds lmao
Do a full outer roll cage like the Camancheep. You know how tricky those flower beds can get.
I just bought some Mamba M13 Wheels for my 95 ZJ and put them on last week. Awesome Wheels!
looks like she needs a new set of gears to go with the BFG 's and the upcoming weight load. My wife needs one of these.
was that a 1980’s HE-MAN mask? the inner fenders look great
Next mod should be a hula girl on the dash sir. I mean. Obviously.
Do a rear bumper aqua bumper lol did mine love having the running water on over landing trips
No “Jiblets” were harmed in the making of this video. Lol
First usefull mods should be changing tire on Coopers ST/Maxx much more usefull open tread tire and quieter on road. And you should paint those inner fender liners using some urethane bedliner like Cobra or Raptor to prevent annoying sounds from stones and making them last longer.
Mastercraft seats and harnesses or some other bigger safety upgrades
Do halo LED headlights on the JL. Those would look really good
What did you use to cut the stock fender liners?
do these rattle? I read other places they are junk and make noise???
No, not yet at least. Use locktight if you want!
@@bleepinjeep good to know. Does it use any self tapping screws or all bolts?
Next step: try not to vod th warranty.....to late.
Need the bigger Rubicon flares
Very nice. Do they make them for a TJ??
I can’t wait to see project JLO begin.
at the mall , in the flower beds. nice.
Ridin videos! Jeremy and ridin videos! Come on!
NO light bar!!!!!
Multiple light bars and angry eyes
Make some of your cool bumpers
Winch and bumpers
Body armor
Maybe engine mods
Save the Giblets!!!! Lol!!!
Absolutely love your videos! 👍👍
Great job 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Bro please tell me you were going somewhere after making this vid. You seem rushed the whole time. Its jeep time relax my friend...jeeping is all about enjoyin yourself. Love ya dog!
He was headed to the mall, he said so himself
Somehow I missed this video
Hellcat should be next
Those are really sweet Matt!!
That looks awesome!
Hellcat engine swap
Bumpers next....
Project Jello
needs #wontons
Love it!
Bumpers
1 ton swap!!
Ain’t success grand? 💗 You’re not doing videos to make your Jeep run good; you’re doing videos to make your Jeep LOOK good (and run better, over bigger rocks, etc) I’m so happy for the success of Bleepin Jeep!
You, Matt, are the reason I got into Jeeps!!! ❤️🐞
MASK! Can you do a video showing a gear swap in depth-ish.
Nooice. Wish they made those for a 79 f150. Mine are still ok... but those look cool.
:)))) Dumbest "mod" I have ever seen, truck nutz included.
SO, now your fender liners dont cover the entire frame, + have holes in them, + many joints where water and dirt can get + and can rust, + they weigh more, and in my opinion look like total ass.
Unless they payed you, this make 0 sense.
Overlander... cut the ass end off and build a tray and canopy on the back like the Aussie fellas. That'll keep ya busy. :)
I think the best mod that can be done to a JL is a “For Sale” sign in the window.
You should look into Trail rax overland tool mounting solutions for the JL
