  • @msemmahale4608

    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.

    • @RedRockCrawlers
      @RedRockCrawlers  5 років тому

      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.

    • @msemmahale4608
      @msemmahale4608 5 років тому +1

      I’m still learning, so forgive the question if it’s basic - you pushed the rear axle back with longer control arms?

    • @RedRockCrawlers
      @RedRockCrawlers  5 років тому +2

      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.

    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.

  •  4 роки тому

    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.

  • @roballenroballen
    @roballenroballen 5 років тому +2

    Fenders look great! It looks like you need to trim the rear pinch seam still. It would probably rub there before the bumper.

    • @RedRockCrawlers
      @RedRockCrawlers  5 років тому +1

      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

    • @jasonkus4510
      @jasonkus4510 5 років тому

      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!

  • @msemmahale4608
    @msemmahale4608 5 років тому +1

    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?

    • @RedRockCrawlers
      @RedRockCrawlers  5 років тому

      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.

  • @jlazaro317
    @jlazaro317 4 роки тому +1

    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!

    • @RedRockCrawlers
      @RedRockCrawlers  4 роки тому +1

      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

    Are you happy with the width of the fender or would you prefer the narrower? I have a chance to get the narrow fenders.

    • @RedRockCrawlers
      @RedRockCrawlers  Рік тому +1

      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.

    • @RedRockCrawlers
