What did you do to your GMT today?

How long have you had the LED bar? That sounds like premature failure no matter what since they are supposed to be good for something like 10,000 hours.

Had it a few weeks, had maybe an hours worth of run time.
Bought it of my dad because he needed money, had sat in the box it came in since around thanksgiving.

But all the wiring is ran so it gives me a excuse to go buy some KC's or Hella's

Headlight issue was a faulty ring terminal on my wiring harness, used the cheap crappy ring terminals that came with a made in china dipole... so I guess that's my fault

That bumper is a total Frankenstein. OEM hitch structure plus Hitchgate swing away guts plus new Lambo-inspired skin.

Well figured out that i do have the g80. Pretty happy about that.

Slowly putting things back together. Even with the impact wrench pressing these ball joints back in has been a pain in the arse. One day I think I will get a shop press.

Anyways, my pretty parts all ready to get covered in dirt. Right now I look like a mall cruiser.

Right now I look like a mall cruiser.

Right Now? You mean you didn't before? Lol
It looks sharp man. I dig it.

[dvanbramer88]

Those are beefy tie-rods.

I lol'd at the painted half shaft.

[Moots1288]

Is the rack completely uncovered?

[mikekey]

Is the rack completely uncovered?

I haven't put my boots back on or torqued anything yet.

Right now I look like a mall cruiser.

Look?!? Hah!

[mikekey]

Those are beefy tie-rods.

I lol'd at the painted half shaft.

Once the paint can came out, I just couldn't help myself. Guess I won't mention all the LED's...

[dvanbramer88]

I like LEDs

[DirtyBacon04]

OOooooohhhh Shiney!!! Keep it clean a while. There's nothing in FL worth messing it up. Just take it to the friday night car show in Old Town, Kississmmee

[mikekey]

It will probably stay clean for awhile. Cleaned up the whole frame. Probably going to paint the rig this year, been thinking long and hard about it.

[HARDTRAILZ]

I would love to paint mine but cant justify doing something for looks that will be raped by trees and rocks. It is amazing how much the light color hides compared to the dark, you might keep that in mind when choosing your color.

[mikekey]

I'm DIY painting and going with a matte color to spare the trail rash, hell I like my rattle can fenders so much I might just do the whole rig in primer, really redneck it!

It's the clear coat that really just looks worse and worse with the trail rash actually. The darker hides it to some degree, but the lines fill in and you end up with white scratches everywhere. A color like white would actually be even better.

[HARDTRAILZ]

A flat or satin desert tan or sand color is what I was thinking

That bumper is a total Frankenstein. OEM hitch structure plus Hitchgate swing away guts plus new Lambo-inspired skin.

Didn't bolt it up yet, but I discovered what my brother's disobedience is going to cost me when he up-gauged the metal thickness last winter. The bumper WITHOUT the swing-away and the tire weighs 175 pounds. 175!

I am beyond bullshit at the way he disregarded my instructions when he went to the steel supplier. His idea is that it's bulletproof and I can use it as a slider. I wanted a noisemaker and didn't care if it got dented.

[dvanbramer88]

"over engineered" is an often underrated achievement.

[mikekey]

A flat or satin desert tan or sand color is what I was thinking:

Me too. Back when JorDanee and I were thinking about doing the body lift, JamesDub's rig was an inspiration and his matte paint job in Olive Drab was something we liked.



Although I lean towards tan.

I saw a matte grey Jeep at Harbor Freight recently that I thought looked equally good.

[dvanbramer88]

I got a thing for certain flat greys and darker gunmetal greys. If I ever painted my truck myself, that would be first choice. That jeep looks pretty good.
