Merideth: Hey, guys. Today, we're checking out the Barricade Tubular Fender Flares for the Rear, fitting all 2020 and newer Gladiator JTs. Now, this will be a great choice for the Gladiator owners looking for a solid flare to open up wheel well space in the back of their truck, and get a more aggressive look in the meantime. Now, I would like to mention, because of the pure size of these, that I only have one on the table. However, you will be getting two rear fender flares and all the hardware that you need in the kit.With that being said, these will offer more space than your factory flares for larger wheels and tires, allowing you better articulation off-road. Not to mention the build will add a more rugged look to your truck and complement any wheel and tire setup for any heavy-duty accessories that you currently have on your Gladiator or are looking to put on your Gladiator. Now, I would like to call out that this kit will just be for the rear flares, but that will allow you to pair this with whatever front fenders that you'd like.Now, the fenders will also be made of a carbon steel plate and tube material. You'll have the plating up on top and the tubing around the outside, and that's gonna be better for somebody who's not a fan of plastic fender flares, and wants something that's a little bit more solid and structured. And this will also integrate a nice texture of black powder coat finish on top, of course, to protect the steel underneath from any rust or corrosion, but it's also going to help with an offroad look, and again, match any other heavy-duty accessories that you have on your truck.Now, when it comes to price, these will cost you roughly $500, which is pretty average for a set of 2 steel fenders. Now, when comparing this to other options in the category, this will keep it pretty simple when it comes to the styling approach here, which I think works incredibly well for somebody who doesn't really wanna go over the top, wants something that's simple and to the point.However, it also leaves a ton of room open for what kind of flare that you wanna add to the front, allowing you to customize your Gladiator to your personal preference. These will also give you a decent amount of wheel coverage in comparison to some rear fenders that may be pretty slim, or they may be a little bit narrow in comparison to this wider choice.Now, overall, if you're looking for a solid fender to add to the rear of your gladiator for a more off-road look and better function, these will be a great choice. Now, install will be a one out of three wrenches on the difficulty meter, taking you about two hours to get the job done. I would like to mention that there is minor drilling but it's very straightforward. So, just keep that in mind when you are getting to the install. And one of our installers here is gonna show you how to get these onto your Gladiator at home, so that's gonna wrap it up for my review. Let's go ahead and get into the install.Man: The tools you're gonna need for this installation include, a ratchet, electric or regular 8-millimeter socket, a 4-millimeter hex head socket, a 10-millimeter wrench, a trimmer removal tool, needlenose pliers, the rivnut tool that comes with the kit, and a 13-millimeter socket and ratchet with a 13-millimeter wrench for the rivnut tool, and a drill with an 11/64-inch bit.How's it going, everybody? Today, we have some aftermarket fender flares that we're gonna show you how to install on our '20 Gladiator. I'm gonna show you how to do it step by step, so let's get started. For the uninstall process, we're gonna start with the fender liner. Now, ours has been removed previously, but for you at home, if yours is still in place, you're gonna want to take a 7-millimeter socket and remove the 3 bolts that are here. And then just check wherever you have plastic retainers such as this one, they are gonna be all up along here on the fender, and there might be a couple on the inside as well.Once you have all those removed, you can either take a trim removal tool and get behind the fender to release the plastic clips that are along the upper edge. And if you're careful enough, you can just pull it off by hand. Now mind you that some of the clips may break because they are fragile.Once you have the fender removed, there might be some remaining clips left in the body of the Jeep. So, take your trim removal tool, make sure you get all those out before we proceed. Again, some of them are very fragile so they might break off even when you try to use a trim removal tool. Now that we have our factory fender removed, we can move on to the installation of our aftermarket fender.For you guys at home, you're gonna have to do a little bit of drilling. We're not gonna be doing it here, but I do have to mention it. So, there is a hole right here that needs to be widened so that we can put this nut insert in place. So, I'll show you how that goes, although I won't be doing it myself. So, out of the holes that we'll be using, if you take a look, the third hole up right here is the one that we wanna widen. And the reason is we can't get behind there in order to put one of our flange nuts on.So, what we have to do is take a 25/64-inch drill bit with our drill and just drill this hole out...the outer hole enough to fit this nut insert in. Once you have this hole drilled out, you're gonna insert this tool as it is. So, let me show you. So, this part right here is actually the threaded insert tool. Just make sure the washer is on. Then also grab this, the threaded insert. And thread that on by hand, just hand tight. Then you're gonna place it in the hole and keep it tight to the body.Once you have it there, you're gonna hold the nut with a wrench and just tighten this down in order to fasten the insert and keep it in place right here. Once it is in place, you can take the rest of the tool out, just unthread it. And you'll just be left with this in that hole. Once that's done, we can move on and install the fender. So, now we're ready to line up our fenders with the hole here and install it. So, we're gonna need a couple of the hardware that comes with it. So, we're gonna grab a couple of these button head bolts here along with a locking washer, a flat washer, and flange nuts. So, two sets of that.Once we have that, you might wanna grab a friend for this just to line it up, but I'm gonna do it by myself and I'll show you how I do it. Now that we have our threaded insert installed, we can grab a couple of the button head hardware that comes included with the kit, including two lock washers, flat washers, and flange nuts. And we can grab our fender and line it up. So, at this point, you might wanna grab a friend, but I'm gonna do it by myself and I'll show you how I do it. All right. So, I'm just gonna line up the fender with the holes.Just take my time. Be careful not to scratch the body up. So, take a peek under, and then just grab one of the bolts, and put it through the fender and the body. And then kind of just let some weight hang on it so that you can get another bolt through and then it'll stay in place. So, I have one bolt in the upper right corner of the fender, and as you can see, I'm just holding this basically with my fingers, letting the tension hold the other bolt in place and which is also holding the fender up. So, I'm gonna put another one right here in this hole, which is actually two holes across from the upper right corner. And then I'm just gonna put the nuts on by hand so that that way I know that this fender isn't going anywhere.All right. Now that we have this fender holding itself up, we're gonna grab the rest of the hardware and put those in as well. Right now, these are just hand-tight, so we're not tightening anything down until we have all the hardware in. All right. Now we're gonna grab the rest of our hardware and there's six more spots where we need to put this. So, again, grab the button head bolts with the lock washers and flat washers, along with the flange nuts. And besides that one spot where we put the threaded insert, that will just take the button head bolt.So, as you can see, the reason we keep this loose is because we still have to be able to move this in order to line up the holes. So, just a note there. We might have to move this round a little bit in order to line up the holes and get the bolts through. Now that we have all our hardware in by hand, we're gonna grab our 10-millimeter wrench and our 4-millimeter hex head socket and tighten these up the rest of the way.So, as I'm doing this, I'm just gonna take a look, make sure that my fender is lined up properly around the upper edges and keep moving along. So, that's the install process for our fender on the driver's side. For the installation process on the passenger-side rear fender, you're gonna follow the same exact steps.That's gonna wrap up this review and install of the Barricade Tubular Fender Flares for the Rear of your '20 and newer Gladiator JT.
