Havent taken mine off yet, now im curiousTook the rest of my Dirty Life DT-1 simuated rings off, wow. I would caution people who are considering these, you might not be lucky as some of the others here. (these have never been removed prior to this)
Check them out, I talked to Quadratec yesterday about price and ETA of the Hutchinsons and mentioned the story of these wheels. He said he recently had the same story from another person that just got done returning theirs.
I dunno. I've exchanged a few PM's with him and he was very nice and very helpful.
hopefully yours are good though, one of my five are.
Are those wheels new? That hole looks like someone used stainless steel bolts and didn’t use any grease or anti seize on them. Sorry you’re having to deal with that shit. If they’re new, I would imagine dirty life would step up.Took the rest of my Dirty Life DT-1 simuated rings off, wow.

Yea and I’m definitely not trying to pass any judgement I’ve never spoken to the man and his tutorial videos are great but just reading through that forum makes me feel very grateful for all of you guys a lot more positivity and helpfulness over here.
Annnnd.... the track bar is your favorite color....I saw the light and swapped out the track bar for the Steer Smarts Yeti XD. Simple & easy, but if you have the Fox ATS stabilizer (I do), you may have to remove it to get the track bar on (I did). You'd also have to make sure you position the adjuster tube bolts where they don't interfere with the stabilizer bracket. Overall, after measuring the length between the bushings, I had to set & tighten the adjuster tube clamps, set the bar, reinstall the stabilizer, & then tighten everything up. Well worth the effort.
I was amazed at the difference in heft, weight, and appearance.
I also mounted the @ROCK HARD 4X4 rear LCA skids. Solid, beefy, & weighty. I couldn't get the dang driver-side front LCA bolt off. I raised it up high enough to get leverage & tried everything in the arsenal...breaker bar...hammer, frog legs, eye of newt, witch hazel...I didn't bother with the passenger-side. Those m'effers are hold-on-for-dear-life-tight. They're on so tight, I noticed there are cracks on both sides of the bolts on each arm. Maybe even over-torqued. The rear bolts were tight, but didn't give me anywhere near this trouble. After over 2 hours, I gave up. Try again next weekend...suggestions & prayers are welcome.
I'm partial to orange, but arrest-me-red is high up on The List, depending on what it is or who's wearing it.Annnnd.... the track bar is your favorite color....
They are taking them back, yes they were new!
Thanks! But it's just plasti-dip. I taped it off and painted it myself on each side.That looks beautiful, can you add a link to your quarter JP stripe
