OK. This is killing me. Did you actually have the doors wrapped in sliver or did you mean you painted them?
What did you do to your TJ today?

I think they are actually wrapped. Look at the bottom door side hinge screws.
It looks good though.
Yesterday she got buffed up.

Perfect...I have Moogs on the front and happy with them...I just need to remember to grease them up before I install them, I forgot to do that on the front sway bar , nothing like doing a job twice.
Found some new headlight brackets too on Amazon, so If I cant fix mine then I'm shelling for a pair of those too
Nice! Looks like there might be hope to get some scratches out of mine, based on your before and after. Did you do the work yourself or farm it out?
I knew I wanted a hand throttle for offloading, but it looks cool as hell too. Digging the old style TC shifter too. Thats on my Mod list as well.
Paid someone to do it I don’t have the skills to do that at all, unfortunately there was some clear coat failing on the hood, but the rest of the Jeep looks great.
I'm very happy with the TC shift handle. It is so much more natural to shift into 4Hi. N and 4Lo are still an adventure at times. I do not have a cable shifter mechanism.
Adventures in shifting! I upgraded to the Savvy cable shifter when I installed my lift a year or so ago and man, shifts like butter now. Highly recommend it when you funds allow!
I bought the half doors originally green. I was quoted $800 to have them painted and no guarantee it would match the body paint. So I had a local guy wrap them for $300. Other than some slight wrinkles around the hinge I would have no idea this wasn't painted. It looks awesome.
I'm assuming when I do a BL I will find the "need" for a cable shifter but for right now I have to say the handle was an improvement.
I removed the OEM side steps. They are remarkably light.
I slightly tweaked one off-roading over the weekend. And, I have some rock sliders already sitting in the garage just waiting to be installed. So now I’m one step closer.

Same here on the fronts. LOL

Ordered a couple upstream O2 sensors, an inner shift boot to quit cooking my leg, and a blue sea USB charger. Hopefully making the trip to tahoe at the end of the month a little nicer without dropping a ton of cash.
I'm really hoping the inner shift boot helps with the cooked leg syndrome. Towels are working on the passenger floor for insulation for now but I don't want anything under the pedals. Maybe in a month or two I'll get a bed tred for it.
It was really hard not to order a leather shift boot and white shift knob for it at the same time but that would've been another $100 that I just couldn't see spending right now. ***Channeling inner Dave Ramsey***

And it is on the way! Thanks to Morris4x4 it is scheduled to arrive Friday. Great customer service over the phone to get two day shipping(made the wallet cry but not as much as Quadratec was gonna). Leaving Sunday for Colorado along with my cousin's YJ.

Thanks! I was set on the look but took a while to find something not taken already!
