I'm a first Jeep owner. I drive it to work every day. I've also taken it on some pretty hard trails. I've extensively customized my Jeep (2019 JL Rub) in a a subtle manner. So much so, that the upgrades and appearance of the vehicle could be considered "factory". I've taken a lot of queues from this channel for my my upgrades. I put a lot of effort into suspension and drivetrain upgrades. Please don't make this vehicle into the same old extreme off-road ATV build that's been done a thousand times...
1 You pay more for the “premium soft top”. That’s the free, base soft top. 2. This build has me pumped up. You need bullet hold graphics, rivets, windshield down design so no ancillary lights on the hood, shovel mounts…gonna be killer
I hope you guys color match the fenders and flares, and also as many interior surfaces as possible. And I know that you like the new grille, but the 2024 grille would lend itself to an MB/GPW tribute much better.
Great idea!! Super excited for the build! Also, excited for all the mods!! I ordered mine in October in fathom blue but I doubt I see it for 4 or 5 months. Want some ideas!! Can’t wait!
I am very excited for this build!!!! Definitely watch all of every episode!!! Personally when it came out I was pondering this very concept. I’d love if someone built full metal fenders that speak back to the early years. My dad had an old 52’ Willy’s and I loved the big flat metal fenders. I’ve never seen a modern metal fender that, but if ever a jeep needed one it’s this rig! Please chew on the idea, talk to some local fab shops they could build you something I’m sure. I’m with you tho, this build will probably be one of my favorite, retro is great, world war 2 retro, amazing!!!!
As a big fan of Sarge Green, I initially disliked this color based on the previous photos. Seeing it in a real video though? LOVE IT! Big fan of the heritage. Really looking forward to this build.
I think its a great idea, I think that color on camera doesn't do it justice. My brother has a gator green gladiator, so much better in person and in the sun. You could do a matte clear wrap to get it the old style color. Also it would fun for you to do a blow off valve on it for starters.
41 looks like a mix between Gobi and Sarge green. I feel like most people will love it or hate it. I’m impartial until I see it in person. Looking forward to see what y’all do with the build! I’m wanting a gladiator in couple years and I’m already looking forward to that build. 🤣
I have a never used primer red front bumper for an M38 that I never used on my project. I am happy to donate it to your new project if it fits your plan.
Be thankful you got a 2025. Only a few have been allowed out of the gate. Many have been held for some QA issues and that they want to sell off the 2024 year off of the lots first. The over flow lots here in Toledo are filling up and that's with all the plant down time in the last 2 months. I would love for you guys to do a deep dive into the newly announced layoffs of over 1100 employees in January when they start back up after Christmas shutdown. That 1100 is just Jeep folks. Unable to count the suppliers who also will have to thin down. I just hope it gets sold off before its dead. TOLEDO NEEDS JEEP!
Speaking of piecing together jeeps, I ordered a 2023 JLUXR in November 2022, I got the cloth seats but it lacked the molle panel on the back of the front seats that was standard on all previous models. The canvas seat covers are zip on and I haven’t checked underneath but it makes me wonder.
Looking forward to this 2 door build. Hopefully you have plans to remove the euro styled grill and go back the original JL which looks better for a heritage build. No military tribute build should have a 2 toned swished grill as part of the concept. Go back the longer JL grill style to match the OG Jeeps. 🙏
"It's not just a color-it's a legacy. Inspired by the original military Jeep, this iconic shade brings a touch of history to every journey you embark on. That '41 Jeep color is History Reborn, Adventure Reimagined. Congratulations! I love your new JEEP! I can't wait to see you build it
My 2024 Sport 4-door V6 automatic: was specifically built for me, in March/April 2024, and mine came with the "New Grille" !! (also with manually, hand cranked windows and manual locks!).
Sounds like a great build plan. You guys should've gotten the manual since you haven't done one yet. It would've been a great match up with your plan. Either way, looking forward to the progress.
Finally subscribed to your channel. You guys are one of the best channels for jeeps. Keep putting the great content you put out. Hoping you do not add a lot of snap on plastic pieces to this jeep. Make it a true military tribute with Steel fabrication. Looking forward to the end results.
Isn't Bestop making the soft tops for them? Maybe they changed something. I know when I got my SunRider, the twill was a upcharge item and the base came with the sailcloth.
I’m a relatively new Jeep owner. (Uncle Sam let me drive his Jeep in the mid 80s!!!). I’d love for you guys to produce a Jeep model identification video. What should we look for to differentiate between YJs, TJs, JKs and JL’s from the exterior of the Jeeps. Another great video guys!!!
Awesome where you guys are going with this build, love it! I fell in love with the Jeep Wrangler base model the moment Ryan bought his. Can't wait to see the result of this build 👍
I could see the wheels turning in the last vid of the colour reveal. The more you filmed, the more excited you guys got. I'm looking forward to seeing this build come together.
Those Jeep bag of goodies use to come with the early Willys edition, anniversary and the HardRock Rubicons at no published extra charge... LOL. Love the color and cannot wait to see what you guys do to it.
wow Love the Jeep!! Can't wait to see what you guys do with this! I love my 2door sport with soft top. It is great to see your love and devotion to the Jeep brand and to the history and roots of the jeep. and to the men and women who relied on the jeep in the time of war. I am so excited for you guys!!
You could put a unit number on the bumpers. Example, “D CO 2/502 INF D-1” That would “translate” to Delta Company, 2nd Battalion of the 502 Infantry Regiment and the vehicle would likely belong to the company commander. (Any lettering should be all caps since everything was applied via stencils and paint brushes!!!) 🤯
I've said it once I'll say it many times I love those stock rims!!!! I love modded Jeeps but there is something about a stock Jeep. Yes I'm that weird dude...
Let me know when you wanna throw that Mojave/392 hood on 😉 congratulations guys and just so you know commando is definitely a different code and color!
Thanks for the video. Please make a video for 2-doors 6-speed manual transmission Wrangler Sport S whenever you have a chance to put your hand on one. Thanks again.✴
i thought i was going to love the color...it looks like the commando color and in some light it seems almost tan like.. i cant wait to see it in person. Maybe you could put it next to the other similar colors. i l love the sarge green.
Matt/Ryan do you think Distinction Applied could color match a black hard top to sarge green? I know they do such a good job with their work from watching all of their products end up on you channel Thanks!
Where the heck do you plan to get a tan top?!? I have a Sarge Green 2dr JL and have been looking for a tan top since I got it. If you have a source, I'd love to know it!

As a big WW2 buff, I'm really looking forward to seeing this build. Congrats on the new Jeep guys!
"We should buy this." You guys are awesome. Jealous, but can't afford it--even the base Sport!
Love 41 color. Great buy!! Look forward to seeing everything you do color match and throwback.
Yes! Thank you!

I knew it. I KNEW y’all were gonna buy it!!!
Absolutely add the pioneer tools to this build... a shovel on the passenger side & an axe on the driver's; great project 👍🏼
1 You pay more for the “premium soft top”. That’s the free, base soft top.
2. This build has me pumped up. You need bullet hold graphics, rivets, windshield down design so no ancillary lights on the hood, shovel mounts…gonna be killer
I love the idea to do a build to match the original jeeps. Subbed to see the progress.
I hope you guys color match the fenders and flares, and also as many interior surfaces as possible. And I know that you like the new grille, but the 2024 grille would lend itself to an MB/GPW tribute much better.
I would LOVE those grey seats in my Sting Grey Wrangler.
Please, please add some color matched flat fenders. Make it a true throwback!
Great idea!! Super excited for the build! Also, excited for all the mods!! I ordered mine in October in fathom blue but I doubt I see it for 4 or 5 months. Want some ideas!! Can’t wait!
I got my 2025 2 door Willys last week. Hydro blue, extreme recon package. Absolutely love it!
I am very excited for this build!!!! Definitely watch all of every episode!!!

Blank canvas build excited to see it transform. You should put some of the mods up for vote an let the community help with the build.
Love that 41 color!
Love the plan for this. Very nostalgic and true to its roots. ❤😮
Its like commando green mixed with 2018 gobi. Im liking it
As a big fan of Sarge Green, I initially disliked this color based on the previous photos. Seeing it in a real video though? LOVE IT! Big fan of the heritage. Really looking forward to this build.
I think its a great idea, I think that color on camera doesn't do it justice. My brother has a gator green gladiator, so much better in person and in the sun. You could do a matte clear wrap to get it the old style color. Also it would fun for you to do a blow off valve on it for starters.
4:22 😂 got a laugh out of the sign
Sweetwater Brewing company!
I have some photos of one I saw at the Titusville Airforce Museum. It’s also closer to the 41 color
Congratulations DRC on the first 2025. Looking forward to your flat fender tribute plans

Good on ya! Enjoy!
I have a never used primer red front bumper for an M38 that I never used on my project. I am happy to donate it to your new project if it fits your plan.
Great idea for the Jeep build, looking forward to a less is more philosophy, everyone else is doing more is more! Cheers from Oz 🇦🇺

Love the build idea, don't forget the 50 cal. machine gun 😉👍
i run 35x10.50 Kenda Klever's and LOVE them. great size.
Excited to follow the progress of the build. Looking forward to it!😆
Speaking of piecing together jeeps, I ordered a 2023 JLUXR in November 2022, I got the cloth seats but it lacked the molle panel on the back of the front seats that was standard on all previous models. The canvas seat covers are zip on and I haven’t checked underneath but it makes me wonder.
Yep, I'd do the same exact thing with that build.
Love the build theme. The tan Armorlite flooring would be cool.
Looking forward to this 2 door build. Hopefully you have plans to remove the euro styled grill and go back the original JL which looks better for a heritage build.

I picked mine up in April it had the new grill too.
LOVE the plan for this Jeep. Keep it simple. Honest. Nimble. I dig it!
Got to have the oversized radio antenna attached to a radio maybe a gmrs or ham radio if u got the license for it
Sounds like a great build plan. You guys should've gotten the manual since you haven't done one yet. It would've been a great match up with your plan. Either way, looking forward to the progress.
Looking forward for this build!!!!

love the 41" color. Own A 2024 Sgt. Green Willys Gladiator and like that you are keeping Jeep prevalent. God Bless.
You made a new subscription with this build. I look forward to seeing the process.
I just went from my 2003 wrangler to the 2024 spirt wrangler. Always wrangler for me ^_^
Isn't Bestop making the soft tops for them? Maybe they changed something. I know when I got my SunRider, the twill was a upcharge item and the base came with the sailcloth.
Congrats and good luck, gentlemen!

Color is super sharp! Looking forward to seeing the vision unfold. Great stuff as always !
I knew y'all were going to buy that for a build after watching your last video...will be interesting to see how you build it up.
Color is sick looking forward to your project. Thanks for sharing
I could see the wheels turning in the last vid of the colour reveal. The more you filmed, the more excited you guys got. I'm looking forward to seeing this build come together.
This is not a color I'd order for myself, however, for your MB build it's perfect. Love that theme. Good luck!
Congrats guys! That 41 color is so beautiful.
Awesome idea to build it that way. Looking forward to watching this build. And see the finished project.
I think there should be so type of WWII Army logo on it as well as the shovel/jack items.
I would suggest taking a look at Bestop's 70 anniversary pebble beige twill tan top for this build. Grats on the Jeep!
Isn't that color "gator" that was on the Gladiators?
Those Jeep bag of goodies use to come with the early Willys edition, anniversary and the HardRock Rubicons at no published extra charge... LOL. Love the color and cannot wait to see what you guys do to it.
Make sure you got badges from all the services, Marines army Air Force Navy Coast guard. Man I like that can't wait.
wow Love the Jeep!! Can't wait to see what you guys do with this! I love my 2door sport with soft top. It is great to see your love and devotion to the Jeep brand and to the history and roots of the jeep. and to the men and women who relied on the jeep in the time of war. I am so excited for you guys!!
We are so excited!
Did they change the radiator fluid reservoir? I see it’s black instead of clear now
We are in 2024 😮 !
Love the color
I wish they did this color in a matte finish instead of that glossy. It’s good, though. I’d have it.
Love this color! Can't wait to see what you do to it.
That is awesome. Can't wait to see what you guys do to it
With that color you could do the early YJ Sahara theme.
You could put a unit number on the bumpers. Example, “D CO 2/502 INF D-1” That would “translate” to Delta Company, 2nd Battalion of the 502 Infantry Regiment and the vehicle would likely belong to the company commander. (Any lettering should be all caps since everything was applied via stencils and paint brushes!!!) 🤯
Thanks for the tip!
I know you guys will create a head turner with this 25!
I've said it once I'll say it many times I love those stock rims!!!! I love modded Jeeps but there is something about a stock Jeep. Yes I'm that weird dude...
I have a 2 door 2.0 turbo Rubicon in Gobi!! Love the power vs my 4 door 3.6.
Oh, love the build plan 😊
congrats on the pick, lookin fwd to the build
Awesome color Matt.🎉😊
Do you think you guys could build/design some half doors that aren’t $4k? I’d be interested.
Cant wait to see how this turns out.
Let me know when you wanna throw that Mojave/392 hood on 😉 congratulations guys and just so you know commando is definitely a different code and color!
Love this concept and plan!!!!
Really looking forward to this build. will be taking notes 🍻
Love the new jeep! Looking forward to seeing all the new content.👍
Thanks 👍
Thanks for the video. Please make a video for 2-doors 6-speed manual transmission Wrangler Sport S whenever you have a chance to put your hand on one. Thanks again.✴
My 2013 wrangler jk is commando green.
i thought i was going to love the color...it looks like the commando color and in some light it seems almost tan like.. i cant wait to see it in person. Maybe you could put it next to the other similar colors. i l love the sarge green.
Nice score. Great vid. Thanks DRC.
Thanks 👍
And now you guys need a partner ( ME ) to drive all 4 jeeps to shows !! 😁
I take back my first comment on the color, in this video I like it, maybe the lighting 😊
I have a '13 Commando Green wrangler. Paint code is PGH
I have a Tan MyTop on my Earl Jeep. It would look amazing on this 41 color too. I want the 41 so bad, but my Jeep is only a year old. 😂
Great idea can't wait to see the progress keep it up great channel cheers
This is gna be a cool project.
I love it and love the idea of the build
Matt/Ryan do you think Distinction Applied could color match a black hard top to sarge green? I know they do such a good job with their work from watching all of their products end up on you channel
Thanks!
I have a 2.0 turbocharged in my '21 JLU 80th Anniversary in Sarge Green. I keep thinking more about trading for a 2025.
Damn got it fast. Congratulations
So torn on getting a deal on a '24 or ordering a '25...damn...
great video, gents!
Yoooooooooooo! Bro let me get that LiL red baggie!! 😎
Where the heck do you plan to get a tan top?!? I have a Sarge Green 2dr JL and have been looking for a tan top since I got it. If you have a source, I'd love to know it!
