Finally got my Nemesis via Rebel OffRoad. This is after I finished the test fit & got all the mounting brackets in place, that's why they're bare. Just got them back from the painter yesterday. Final install will be this week or weekend at the latest.

Hey JK, where did you get and/or who make that Lightbar mount in your grill?

Can't wait to see it...just ordered 3 kits of raptor liner to do all of mine. Raptor lined my interior and PSC lightbar mounts... Was kinda worried/interested on how it will look cause it seems like all the pics I see they are pc'd or painted or raw....think I'm gonna line mine and was thinking about leaving the edges of the fenders and rockers as the raw aluminum so it looks trimmed in silver. Put a couple coats of clear on the raw aluminum and see how it looks, if I don't like it then I'll just raptor over it

I think Strike Force Zebra still makes them. There were some issues though in the past though with them not fulfilling people's orders so they had rubbed some people the wrong way. Not sure if they are still having problems or not.....

There maybe others now who have come out with their own version of it.

Preinstall of flares, armor and rockers by myself took a full weekend, while reinstall after PC took a few hours.





Those flares are gorgeous, Bud. Nice build!

Ok, so been talking with Sean from Rebel and he's getting me a pretty good deal on all Nemisis. So I think gonna finalize order first thing Monday!

Question tho, I have been looking at a lot of pics online and in some it looks like the fenders are wider than the billy rocker steps. Is this true or is it just the angles? I have noticed that the billy rocker step looks alittle more narrow that say the PSC brawler rockers.

Insight?

Like here.... First pic looks like the fenders hang over the rockers but the 2nd shot looks flush.

I know, I know I'm being nit picky!

First pic that you listed is with stock flares. My fronts are flush, while the rear overhang slightly (1/4" maybe). I'm running Notorious Front and Rear. I can not comment on Odyssey fronts.

Also note that the Rockers in the second pic on Dixie (Nemesis' Rescue Green mascot) are the old style with the logo cut in the middle, while the first pic illustrates the new design without the logo. Apparently, the logo would create a weak spot when directly impacted while climbing.

Thanx for the info. I am getting the odyssey flares for the more coverage but want to make sure they line up ok. Might be willing to go with the notorious if they look better as far as alignment

DJ1 had it right. StrikeForceZebra mount. Got it over a year ago.

If this rain lets up tomorrow, I should be able to post some final pics with the painted flares. Still need to undercoat the rear fender wells too.
