  1. Picked up this DV8 Gladiator this week

    Hey PapiSmurf... I'm in the DFW area. Frisco to be specific.
  2. Dana 60s for 40 inch tires questions

    Thanks for the compliment! The lift is 3.5" Rubicon Express with Teraflex Falcon shocks.
  3. Dana 60s for 40 inch tires questions

    Thanks for the compliment! The lift is 3.5" Rubicon Express. Wheels are 17" ADD Stealth Fighter w/ -12mm offset and 4.530in. backspace, on 40x13.50R17LT Nitto Trail Grapplers. Not sure if that combo would push the tires outside of the stock fenders. I suspect it would a little bit.
  4. DV8 Tan Spray Kevlar Coated Gladiator Build [SEMA 2018]

    Hey Snzzbry_Ovrind.... yeah, I bought it with all the SEMA mods. Most of those trucks you see at SEMA can be bought. I just changed a few things from what was displayed at the show... like the light bar.
  5. DV8 Tan Spray Kevlar Coated Gladiator Build [SEMA 2018]

    For the record, I got this jeep with the Kevlar paint already done, so I don't have an exact cost on this build. Generally you can expect to pay $4500 to $5500 for a shop to prep and apply a Kevlar coating to your rig.
  6. DV8 Tan Spray Kevlar Coated Gladiator Build [SEMA 2018]

    Front bumper is the DV8 FS-25 stubby front bumper. Winch is DV8 WBS12R with an ADD capture fairlead. Feedback on the front bumper is that it's a pain to tighten the lightbar if it gets loose. I've had it knocked loose twice and wasn't able to get tools in the little area to tighten the bolts...
  7. DV8 Tan Spray Kevlar Coated Gladiator Build [SEMA 2018]

    Thank you. I think it's pretty killer too. I kept all the stickers on the back window. I'll take them off if they start to peel at the edges.. but so far they look just like I got it. I had to take the front windshield sticker off because I had the exoshield installed and the glass had to be...
  8. DV8 Tan Spray Kevlar Coated Gladiator Build [SEMA 2018]

    Great question. I was curious how easy it would be to clean and what it would look like after too. So, cleaning isnā€™t that hard. I use a power washer and a soft bristle brush to clean the dirt and mud thatā€™s stuck in all of the Kevlar texture. It is pretty easy and looks perfect after. The...

    Iā€˜ve got exoshield on mine and do not notice it at all. I didnā€™t do any comparison between different films, but I did not notice a difference from before having the shield put on and after.

    This is what I had installed on mine. Lots of highway driving and no cracks so far. https://www.getexoshield.com/exoshield
  11. Rugged Ridge Fortis Tube Doors

    so, it turns out that i'm a dumb ass. After a month of dealing with doors that never closed properly I realized what my problem was. I had the hinges reversed, which was causing the tube door to sit closer to the frame due to the slight bend in the hinge. I have no idea how I didn't see or...
  12. Rugged Ridge Fortis Tube Doors

    I have not heard back either... really sucks because I like the look of the door, but the constant rubbing on door sill makes me hurt every time I close them. Not sure what else we can do to get someones attention at Omix.
  13. Tube doors or no tube doors

    Hey.. thank you!
  14. Tube doors or no tube doors

    Rugged Ridge Fortis tube door. Alignment is a pain (at least for me), but they're heavy and feel well built.
  15. Rugged Ridge Fortis Tube Doors

    I never heard back either. I was able to get the doors somewhat aligned, but it's definitely not perfect. The doors still hit the frame slightly and require a pretty firm slam to shut. Let us know if you hear from support. I'll keep trying too.
  16. Rugged Ridge Fortis Tube Doors

    Thanks for giving me some hope that Omix will make it right. My issue is the top left corner makes contact with the door sill, on both sides. The driver side is more, but both sides make contact. I've tried loosening all of the hinge bolts and putting a towel in the contact area... closing...
  17. Rugged Ridge Fortis Tube Doors

    Installed the Rugged Ridge Fortis tube front doors this weekend. I love the look but I can't get the fitment perfect. Reviews of these doors state that they don't require a "slam" to close properly, but I've tried for hours to adjust the hinge pins and latch box, but can't get the alignment...

    I had exoshield installed on mine the first week I got it. A week after the install my windshield took a direct hit from two large concrete rocks that bounced off a flatbed trailer on the express way. The rocks left two small chips in the film, but there doesn't appear to be any glass damage...
  19. Post your payload pics!

    1 pallet of sod. Clearly overloaded.. only had to take it a couple miles.
  20. KC vs Hella

    Thank you! I'm using the Mopar Auxiliary Switch Bank, and each of my different lights are set to a different switch. KC AUX 1, Dually D2 Pillar lights AUX 2, Front bumper light bar AUX 3 and Rear Chase rack D2 lights AUX 4.
