Added these Mopar Extreme Recon Fender Extensions to my ‘20 Gladiator Overland. I ended up ordering and installing the front left and front right on the rear left and rear right (instead of using the rear flares from mopar). I wanted the bottom of the fender flare to line up with the bottom of the fender, so I ended up drilling some new holes in the fender and cutting the interior portion of the flare (which is not visible) to ensure the flares fit inside the fender properly.

There’s an Australian(?) company that does the same, but they charge approx $800, so i thought i’d try the mopar parts…worked out pretty well

Just ordered myself a set too. The price beats the aftermarket stuff and the ez flares, so why not? Hopefully it won't be too long, but I heard they're out of stock.

Are those 0 offset wheels? Looks good. Just trying to see if this will give me full coverage on 35x12.5s

Im running a -6 offset with 37x12.5x17 Baja Boss tires, I get almost 100% coverage with the flares. You shouldn't have to cut them at all, the fronts fit perfect just have to drill some holes. The backs took a bit of work and a single relief cut to get them to fit perfectly. Make sure you get your plastic rivets and rivet gun.

If you order you want to order two sets of the front flares because the rear flares are too small. I ended up ordering two full sets and threw away the rear flares(lazy) but i think you can order just the rears. The flares do give full coverage(My tires are 35s with AEV rims and two inch spacer kit). Maybe someone can chime in as to whether that has a 0 offset because i think so but am not sure. I did look at the EZ flares but the mopar flares match the plastic on the fender and seem alot hardier.

Yes the front flares fit fine, sorry to confuse. As i said earlier, I used the front flares on the rear wheel wells and that is where i had to cut the flares to make them fit into the wheel wells. When you order the flares from mopar, make sure you include the plastic rivets in the order

Let me know how it goes. I'd like to do the same thing.

I ordered exactly what I needed, shipping was quick, the install took about 1-2 hours. I recommend taking your rear tires off, makes drilling holes much easier... Make sure you get everything needed for the install.
