Fab Fours Keeps It Fresh With Original NEW Designs

Here at The Engine Block we could probably devote an entire heading category exclusively to Fab Fours. There’s no aftermarket company that continually tiptoes the tightrope of design insanity better than the guys and gals from Lancaster, SC.

You know how some companies – automotive and otherwise – bring the coolest looking concepts to the eyes of the consumer, but end up neutering the final market version? That’s not Fab Fours. From builds to products, you get prototype designs with production-ready engineering. So, let’s take a peek at what the company has been working on.

Tacoma Trail Doors

Why let Jeepers have all the fun? Fab Fours Tacoma Trail Doors give your 2016+ Toyota pickup more of that open-air feeling we all crave.

Great for the casual drive or the more hardcore trail blitz, these aren’t your standard aftermarket tubular doors. Built from 12-gauge US steel and finished with a 2-stage powder coating, these doors have that bold, unmistakable Fab Fours angular design.

And like all products from Fab Fours, durability and longevity take center stage. Plus, with cutouts for handles, cup-holders, and storage, you just might never put your stock doors back on again.

Wheels/Ring System & Tires

Fab Fours’ mastery of metal has trickled down to the ever-popular wheel category. But instead of going the traditional route and bringing a dozen cookie-cutter offerings to market, the company did things on its own terms.

One wheel. One size.

If you’re not looking to put your big boy pants on and step up to a 24×12”, then look elsewhere. This gloss-black/milled, cast aluminum beauty comes in one flavor for popular 5 & 8 lug patterns. It is tasteful and—dare we say—tame compared to what we’re used to from Fab Fours.

But hold on, these guys aren’t done. The real uniqueness lies in its accompanying ring system.

We’ve seen some interesting wheel rings before, but Fab Fours outdid itself by offering TWELVE completely different rings that mount directly on top of the wheel to vastly change its appearance. It’s virtually impossible to get bored with this wheel, since you can change its look so quickly.

And if you’re looking for some rubber to mount that wheel system to, why not try the 40” Kymera M/T Tire.

Named for the legendary Fab Fours off-road build, this hybrid mud/all-terrain tire looks stunning all shined up, but performs like a thoroughbred on dirt and rock. F-rated, with a load capacity for 80 psi, these tires are the perfect match for your super-aggressive lifted truck, SUV, or Jeep. And at 40×15.5R24, they wrap the Fab Fours Wheel and Ring system like a fresh pair of Isotoners.

Gladiator Accessories

You didn’t think Fab Fours would forget about the first Jeep truck in over 30 years, did you? The folks down in Carolina have a whole host of accessories to make your Gladiator that much bolder than your neighbor’s.

Let’s take a look at a few of our favorites.

Front Bumpers

Fab Fours’ bread and butter. Choose from FOUR traditional front bumper designs to suit your needs and preference.

The Lifestyle Winch Bumper is all about maximum clearance and durability, complete with lighting and winch cutouts. The Vengeance Front Bumper weighs an unheard-of 65 pounds and flows seamlessly into stock or aftermarket fenders.

If lighting is your bag, the Matrix Front Bumper can hold a 30” light bar and 4 LED cube lights, along with a 10K lb. winch. And always a hit with the purists, Fab Fours’ Stubby Front Bumper allows for maximum tire sizes, while keeping enough space for fogs, a winch mount, and D-rings – all at an amazing price point.

But if these options just aren’t aggressive enough for you, check out what’s next…

Grumper/ViCowl

You’ve seen it on the JK, JL, and now the Gladiator. It’s beefy, it’s outrageous, and it’s polarizing. But regardless of your opinion, there’s no taking your eyes off a Grumper/ViCowl combo.

Ditch the stock grille and front bumper in favor of that sharp, angled, Star Fox 64 look. Available in a stubby and full-length option, the Gladiator Grumper gives you that menacing, angry-eyed face without skimping on functionality.

The Grumper fits most winches and 20″ light bars, while the over-sized front cutouts and side vents allow optimal air flow. And for even more brutality, add the Grumper Fender System.

If you’re looking for above-windshield lighting on your Gladiator, don’t settle for boring ol’ roof-bracket mounting.

Get yourself a ViCowl and look like you came back from the future.

The ViCowl accommodates a 20” light bar or 4 individual lights, all while protecting the susceptible, nearly vertical windshield of the JT. Plus, the optional ViCowl Limb Riser kit adds even more protection for your windshield and hood against wayward branches.

Overland Rack

Here at The Engine Block we love the outdoor lifestyle, and we’re keen on many a spotlight-worthy overlanding build being created from the Gladiator platform. The mid-size truck is such a great basis for adventure. The bed adds usable space for living and storing, but the smaller footprint makes navigating much more manageable.

Fab Fours takes that space above the Gladiator bed and puts it to good use with the Overland Rack.

Made of USA 12-gauge steel, this essential piece of adventure kit features numerous tie-down and mounting points, with lighting capability on all four sides. And for those of you with a rooftop tent, additional cross members can be added to the top for ultimate rigidity when popping up that hard-shell.  Look for additional Overland Rack components to hit the market in the coming months for even more utility.

And speaking of utility, check out that rear bumper. Designed to complement the new Overland Rack and Fender System, Fab Fours’ Jeep Gladiator Rear Bumper features double rung side steps built to hold the full weight of an average adult. That means, in addition to providing body panel protection, light mounting, and integrated tow hooks and D-ring mounts, this bumper also serves as a sturdy perch when accessing rooftop cargo or setting up that RTT.

Constructed of 3/16″ heavy duty steel and 11-gauge steel plates, the new rear bumper sports the brand’s signature knife-edge design and can be custom-coated for seamless color matching.
