I would have thought it too much...
Are there any pictures of Gobi plus Khaki amorlite?
Gobi Gladiator with Desert Khaki Armorlite. Is there such a thing as too much tan? | Jeep Gladiator Forum - JeepGladiatorForum.com
Could only see the Khaki with the brown seats. Looks clean.
Those pictures i posted above are my factory cloth seats. Here's what it looks like with katzkin leather:

And one can really just hose it down? Had read you also need to take it out and let dry... hope that is wrong, because then it is a must have.
Yes, you can hose it out. taking it out to let it dry is for if you have the armorlite (and therefore a portion of the cab) submerged.

FYI, if you submerge a portion of the cab with factory carpet, you're supposed to take that out to let it dry too.

Absolutely. I was thinking of taking it all out and using a bedliner like paint ... but insulation and co

Thank you for explaining and linking the posts. Very very epic.

My only issue with the armolrite(I have it in my wife's 4x) is that the trim doesn't fit perfect to the sides of the floor board anymore, and one of the drain plugs doesn't line up. I plan on shaving the trim so it fits better with the armorlite.

Thanks for all the kind words guys! This really brightens my day, we work really hard to make a quality product and hearing you guys enjoying it really is the best.



Hey Bemarsh, our warranty covers normal Jeep use wear and tear, our TPO (surface material) has a proprietary composition that makes it very resistant to wear.
This Kail guy seems like a good dude

Just got my tan in for front and rear. Will let you know how it goes. Hopefully will install this weekend. Thanks @Armorlite_Kail

Zero regret - the product is amazing. The install requires time but overall, not horrible.

No regrets here ! I justified the price by reasoning that a clean Armorlite install will be worth more than a trashed factory interior. (And at some point I’m going to sell my carpet and mats)

I will say that I did the sound assassin matting at the same time as I installed the Armorlite andI can’t quite get all of the trim fitting back perfectly. I’m going to modify my trim a bit this spring and I think that will fix it !

I would avoid this. armorlite tells you not to use floor mats. One reason being the installation of armorlite require the removal of the floor mat anchoring posts. floor mats that aren't anchored under the driver could easily slip under a brake pedal or over a gas pedal.
Had this happen to my 2500 ram with the Cummins. Cruise was on. I didn’t notice that the thick vinyl floor mat had bunched high in the footwell under the skinny peddle. Was coming into a town that had a stop light. I placed all of my 300+ body weight on the brake peddle to slow it down as the torque of the engine seemed not to be phased by the braking system. When I got it under controls I pulled off to the side of the roadway and determined the caused. Talked about pissed. Threw the mats in the bed of the truck to use as traction devices if needed and got a set of weather-techs.

For those of you that installed this, the rear bolts for your front seat, did they feel like flag nuts? Mine have some play in them and I am worried it's going to drop the nut. Both driver and passenger feel this way.

They are retained, I nutted up and pulled one. No issue

I installed the Seat Jackers lowering kit on mine and the nuts were tight. Also installed a twin ARB under the passenger seat and they were tight as well.

I didn’t have any issues with the rear bolts. The front bolts were angled and that threw me off for a bit.
