Hydro Blue Diesel Rubicon - “The Blue King”

[glendawg1619]

Was finally able to put the 38s on after a bit more trimming, lift coming next week. It drives like the 38s aren’t even there. Plenty of power.i took the freedom panels and front doors off and drive a pretty hilly route. Averaged about 19mpg with the computer still uncorrected for the wheel size. I figure with the top on doors on and going on flat freeway I’ll be well over 20mpg still. Pretty happy. Also I attached a photo of the 3m on the hood. Really impressed by the clarity of this stuff

Finally got the game-changer delivered to my house. Upon inspection we were missing the rear shocks. Metalcloak is overnighting the shocks. In the meantime we put the front part of the lift on. Here’s a photo.

U made my day! Looking to do the exact same lift and tires. The front is promising. If anything, maybe a 3/4" spacer can be added if further clearance is needed. Are u using their rocksports or 6 pak? Waiting to hear on ride quality. Still debating if I want to go blue or Sarge green...

Stoked to see it once you've got the rear lift on. I've got a 2022 sarge green ricin diesel on the way.

Heck yeah, that's cool to hear! I may consider doing a spacer when I add the winch. I am using the rocksports for now, as a hold over until I can grab some king 2.5 shocks to replace them. So far the ride quality is very close to stock, however now I'm no longer concerned about bottoming out on every lil thing in the road. So I'm very happy about that. Those are two solid color choices, I get a lot of compliment's about the color, but sarge green is a very beautifully understated color option. Im even debated on wrapping it a similar green.

Hell yeah, fellow tradesman! I'm a carpenter but have thought about being a sparky after I journey out. My buddy just ordered his rubi as well, but no word on when 22 will start production it seems. Hopefully I get the chance to install the rear this weekend!

I've got Kings for sale (w/ adjusters -- perfect for the Diesel) if you decide to pull the trigger, and you won't have to wait a year I'm running the Fox 3.0's now instead.

I did PPF as well on the entire vehicle, holding up well so far! Love Hydro.

Ahh man trust me I am super tempted, those thing are amazing. That's why I bumped your ad because I'm surprised someone hasn't scooped them up yet! I would if I could. How are you liking those 3.0?! They look super impressive, but why not do coil overs?

What brand of PPF did you end up doing? Did you do the entire body?

All good. It might take a while to sell. These are sold out everywhere as you know so I'm sticking to my price as it's still a discount from retail by quite a bit, and they're new in box.

I don't want to do coil overs since I don't feel it will fit my use case. Weight changes a lot in the rear so coil overs are def. out for that. I don't see the point in mounting coil overs in the stock mounting locations up front either -- you might gain a bit of travel, but not enough to justify the cost and tuning required IMO. These Fox 3.0's are amazing -- I can hit wash boards/sand as fast as I want and if I run them stiff, they don't fade and they soak up everything. They're def. better than the Kings, but they're also double the price (literally).

I went with Xpel Ultimate Plus.

Got to experimenting a bit after work today. Not a great install, but was my first with a colored wrap. Learned a lot of valuable lessons here.

The lift is finished, same with the adams driveshaft. Here’s some photos from this morning. Also a daytime photo of the blackout b pillars.

my buddy just ordered a red glady with red fenders and top.I really like the red a lot too.
Dude I agree, I promise I wasn’t trying to steal your naming convention! Lmao. I took inspiration from a fighter named rory macdonald, as his nickname is the red king. I eventually want to get king shocks so the name just fit for my build. We should make it happen one day man, I’d love to travel a bit and meet up with some other glady owners
