Yea, looks great. Xenons are on my list if I dont go with a complete fender replacement. They look great on our Jeep.

Shaping 3/4" steel is a pain. Next time I will opt to buy pre-made shackle mounts.
I installed my onboard air setup. Viair Heavy Duty kit with a tank that I got for $50.
My thought exactly! I was told that it was only used a couple of times and the air tank was never used. It even came with an extra bonus that I can try to sell, a compressor mount for a JK.
Keep finding deals like that, and you may end-up with a...dare I say it?...affordable Jeep! LOL
Finally manged to get that chopstick the correct length and fixed the shifter knob!
Also cleaned out the cowl drain with a broken fishing pole. Hope that means dry footwells!

I like how my hardtop came out so did my hood louvers today as the powder coating was staring to peel off the rivets and louvers man panel.
Most of the time went into prepping the surface, cleaned, degreased, wetsand, cleaned, wipe down with cellulose thinners, taped up and protected, sprayed with adhesion promoter than an hour between two coats of raptor liner.

You should also take a piece of Steel Wool, pull it apart a little, then wedge it into the top of the cowl drain. That way water can freely pass through but never get clogged by debris. Any debris will always be contained in the cowl and you will never have the water on the floorboards issue ever again.
See, I was thinking about something like that. Wondering if there was a filter or something that I could put on that to do exactly what you said.

Not sure I would want something that will rust like steel wool. It rusts then falls apart and clogs up. Something synthetic would work better.
Took care of a few things that I've had on the list. I picked up some brackets at Home Depot and hung up the fulls.
Then replaced a rusted hinge. I had one shipped from Davey's a while back and finally took care of that.
Can @Jerry Bransford or someone offer some advice. I replaced the windshield frame last fall and now this hinge. All of the bolts came out without trouble but I'd like to know if I should apply some Locktite to the bolts? If so, what model of Locktite would you recommend? Thanks for your help.

I was thinking of something like the filters in a drain plug for in a bathroom or sink. Should be stainless that way but sufficiently small enough to filter out bits.
Non-permanent Blue Loctite would be fine. Red Loctite is considered permanent & will only release when heated above 450 degrees.
