A little bit earlier this week while this olelongrooffan was out and about chasing down a Nash Metropolitan, I spotted this huge lifted F-Series truck and immediately knew I would be back to check this shop out. This place is called DV8 Motorsports and it is located right here in good ole Palm Beach, Florida. Want to check out some of their other stuff?
Although these guys will do their handiwork on pretty much any vehicle you can throw at them, one of their specialties are Jeeps, especially the Wrangler style. I have seen several of them around town and they are the ultimate modern day Flat Fender. I even noticed one of their logo decals on the rear window of the Miss Geico chase vehicle.
Of course, this olelongrooffan had to head on into the showroom to chat it up with whoever would talk with me. The entire showroom was filled with four wheel drive off road bits and pieces of which I knew absolutely nothing.
But I did have a chance to exchange a few words with Mark, the proprietor of this fine establishment. He mentioned the package price on this imaged Rubicon was around $25 grand, a number I thought was reasonable. That is in addition to the $43K purchase price of the Rubicon new.
Ironically, when I asked if the owner would ever take it off road, he smirked and said, “Never. 95% of the trucks we build never go off road.” Any of my fellow Hoons surprised?
And offroad or not, he did mention that business was so good they are moving to a larger facility over beachside.
