I'm a rebel, what can I say, haha.
I gotta re-do it though, it got a lil' scuffed up during the hitch flip. Gonna do liner on it then red it.

That tailpipe look bent, but overall like it all
The tailpipe is bent, haha. I crushed it on a rock last trip out.
Well, I got some goodies in the other day...
I'm not sure when I'll get to install them. Some grim news has come up as of recent. My uncle was rushed to the ER Monday night having issues breathing. He has esophageal cancer for over a year now he's been doing chemo for it. He was rushed into the ER and his sodium was extremely low almost causing him to seize as well, they found out he's septic and both has pneumonia in both lungs. what used to be a 6 month estimated time left has now turned into maybe a few days. It does not look good. :/

What did you use to black out your taillights if you don't mind me asking?
Thanks, Tim!
I'm pretty sure it was Rustoleum lens tint from Autozone.

Now you just need the hitch shackle
Lol, I'll get one eventually.

Haha, yeah I'm stoked to get them on. No more screeching from what's left of the Rancho's. My buddy is gonna hook me up with a deal for an alignment too at the shop he works at when I get to do my PML finally.
dude, i had ranchos on my first x, that screeching noise is hideous huh. it was the main reason i went with the germans.
I won't knock them to bad, they took a massive beating this last saturday. I went out to some new spots with some Jeep buddies, I didn't think my truck would handle the stuff I was climbing but I managed to outwheel a lifted Yj. Lots of off camber terrain and steep climbs mixed in it. Wish we got pics but we had to big of a group we couldn't really stop because it was crowded in the woods.
Ok, so...
Out with the old and in with the new-ness!
Finished product! Before and after photo.
I think I'm going to have to reindex my front some, it only came up about 0.5" and it's a wee bit raked more than what I hoped, so hopefully next weekend I'll get back under there and get that done to get maybe another 0.75" or so up. It did go up because I don't rub half as much though anymore. The bil's ride soooo nicee tooo!

Thanks, Tim! We need to get together for a ride one of these days. There two big hardrock events coming up if you're able to go, one in March and one in June.

nice!
Yeah, that was the first thing I did after I unwrapped them was spray em down with like 4 coats. I still don't think they will stay red very long with all the sand and grit here.
Thanks, man!

Ok, Well when I painted some of my interior plastics I thought it would be cool to do the arm rest in bedliner. Well, I was wrong. It didn't scratch up my arm, rather it turned into a glue trap in the FL sun.
Example:
So, with that said, I've been dealing with this issue for a few weeks, I finally got sick of it and decided to just do a quick mod.
Took top off the console, pulled to plastic from underneath off. The paint on there is already glue like enough so I didn't even have to glue it. I had an old bandana laying around so I used it, trimmed it underneath and folded it in and screwed it back together. Everything is tight and think it came out pretty good for a 5 minute mod.
I know it doesn't match, I didn't have a camo bandana though XD. Maybe I'll replace it later if I come across one.

Mac - there's a link over TNX for leather/cushioned console plus a write up. I think it was XterraCanuck that did that write up, but I'm not 100% and there is a TNX discount for it for 2nd genners.
