Send 220V of current through the block?
WTH? No way...
What a transformation. Looks great.So I put my hardtop on a couple weeks ago because it's nice and I like having the option, but it was super sun faded. So I took a little time last week to douse the thing in Penetrol which helped bring the color back, but left a streaky finish. So last night I went over it with a buffer and some Meguiar's Ultimate Compound to smooth out the streaks and bring it completely back to life.
I put the details in my build thread.

I like that color. What is it?I'm doing the body and paint on my LJ and today I got to drive 5 km across town to have a windshield installed in the new frame. We were at 0*C when I left so I wore my warmest mask. I'm waving here to my son who took the pic but I also got to give a "Jeep wave" to a few startled Jeepers along the way.

Got the control arm bushings in and installed! Ready to drive to work in the morning!!!!!
A 2.5 would be a good deterrent
So glad of this post I have now gone Penetrol mad lol, Harsh sun and UV sun damage in Australia but this stuff does the trick on fade, just wish I didnt waste my money on Back to Black!

on the Brightside, the lifters look good. so that's something to be happy about.Last night I tackled the valve cover gasket and I was quite disappointed to find that it had already been done by the PO with a Felpro gasket. My disappointment isn’t so much that it had already been done but it’s because that means that the oil drip I have is coming from the RMS that I already replaced about 16 months ago! I replaced it twice at that, once with a Felpro RMS and that was garbage in my opinion so I replaced it with an OEM seal.
it’s just a slow drip for now, a couple drops on my garage floor from time to time isn’t going to force me to do it anytime soon but probably when the weather warms back up in the spring.

Thats not funny because it happened to me a few yrs back. Squirrels kept filling my CJ7 engine bay with acorns, had to thwart their efforts on building nests as well. Opened my hood one day to make sure everything was copasetic, and was greeted by a 5' Fox snake, very angry one I might add. Didn't take time to shake hands, just slammed the hood down. 5 min later wife arrived home, told her of my demise, she wanted visual proof, opened hood again, snake was gone
Hold on here !!!Building a new skid plate at work.View attachment 204698
