Thanks everyone. So looking forward to getting these installed!!

As far as names go, nope, still haven't give this thing a name. Truth be told, I'm not even sure why. :crazyeyes:

I love the wheel color choice. You should jump to 42s given the length of a JT.

Can't say I've ever been a fan of 42's. As it is, I can barely manage 40's by myself and it's pretty important to me that I can work on stuff myself. But, you never know - we're just getting started and time and experience has a way of changing the way I think :crazyeyes:

Have to say, even though I'm a huge fan of the machined look, those came out pretty badass! Remember when Machetes first came out and Mel ran them anodized gold? Man, that looked badass too. Can't wait to see this monster with the 40's

Spent some time today getting our Gladiator ready for big things to come. First and foremost, I added a couple of stickers that reflect where we'll be taking it. :cool:

Second, we picked up our new KMC Machetes from powder coat and this is what they look like now :thumb:

Can't wait to get these mounted up on a set of 40" Trail Grapplers :cool:

No more Coopers? I figured your last two sets of Nittos were just by happenstance

So glad you're all digging the bronze :cool:

Well now that we’ve seen those wheels, I’ll add “Gold Digger” to the list.

LOL - well, they're technically bronze so maybe "Bronze Digger"? :crazyeyes:

Wheels look awesome!! Can't wait to see what else is in store!

You and me both! :D

Looking great guys! After seeing how the wheels turned out first hand... damn sexy. Can’t wait to see how it turns out.

LOL - I thought you were camping last night?
It was good to see you and thanks again for the care package :)

It was hard to commit to doing this as we're fans of the machined look too. But, I think these came out great - better than I thought they would. :yup:

Coopers are great tires but being that we've been attending so many Nitto events and have more to come, we figured it'd be polite to be a team player. Plus, it's not like we never liked Trail Grapplers especially in a 40. If anything, our main reason for switching out from them was the lack of availability or at least, at the time.

I’m waaaaaay to excited for this build! It’s not gonna help my desire to trade in the Jk for a gladiator lol

Might be a little biased but I think bronze looks good, especially on a white Jeep.

Looking good that’s the color I’ll be going with once I get my powder coating oven.

Looks awesome! Can’t wait to see the end results with coilovers, tons, and 40s.
