Awesome Jeep, the name will come to you. Sedona is a beautiful place, you will love it.
I'm accurate enough. ;)
Kassandra had her winch plate and winch installed, and now she's getting a ceramic coating applied (by me).
I wanted a good baseline for mods. So I took careful measurements to track where I started from. These are the measurements on a stock Rubicon with steel bumpers. The measurement from the front bumper was taken in the middle, just in front of where the skid plate meets the bumper. The rear...
Lol, before this gets too far out of control, I'm collecting parts...
Rockhard 4x4 winchplate, Factor 55 Splicer, Metalcloak Trackbar, RC 2.5" spacer for the front.
Not pictured, Smittybilt 9.5k winch w/ synthetic line. Rusty's 1.5" spacer lift for the rear. Metalcloak Duraspring front...
I think the only reliable place to measure is the bottom of the pinch seems. From the factory, the wheel arches are not the same height relative to the truck, so you can't measure from them. I've highlighted it in your picture.
Why ΚΑΣΣΑΝΔΡΑ (Kassandra)?
Kassandra is the main protagonist from Assasins Creed Odyssey. She's a straight-up badass Spartan mercenary. When my wife and I asked ourselves what are we going to name our new gladiator, We both thought Kassandra was the obvious choice.
I would like to Introduce Kassandra to the Hydro Blue club!
I've started a build page here

Glad I could help, I am not the least bit disappointed in the rails, they are impressive. The skins are probably awesome too.
Northridge ships incredibly fast. Just make sure there are no missing pieces, like required mounting hardware.
Lol, I have to put this here too.
From your own build.
"They accepted my card on the 31st and my order has been pending ever since. I sent an Email today and asked a question via their website. I got response from the e-mail shortly later saying It would be 1-2 weeks and an ADDITIONAL $350...
I never asked them to send me anything free.
The website has been updated to stop this from happening again. When you applied the filter for a 2020 gladiator and search rock rails, and filter for company EVO, two options used to pop up: with and without skins. Since I wasn't interested in...
You and me both. I've used it before on bare steel and it did great, but never with bed liner. The trick is on the last coat of bed liner hold the can further away for a more matte finish. If you are too close it will have a shine.
These look like the same ones, but I don't care for the body armor. I wanted just the rails. I painted them myself. First used 60 grit flap wheel to rough them up, then a self etching primer, then 3 coats duplicolor bed liner. The texture is slightly rougher than the factory steel options, but...
My intent was to educate, some will see the blame on Northridge, others will see it as EVOs. Still others will see it as mine. Regardless, I wanted to share my experience. I will also add that Molly at Northridge said that they (Northridge) don't even have the brackets on stock and they will be...
I recently placed my order for my 2020 Gladiator Rubicon, hydro blue, with all the extras. In anticipation of its arrival, I purchased a few upgrades ahead of time, that would be ready to bolt on when she finally gets here. Among them are the EVO bomber rockers. Man, they are awesome. Sadly, my...
