Fabricated some shovel mounts for the safari rack. Couldn't find any that I liked.

Found a replacement grille at the local pick-your-part, and did a more surgical cutout for the winch and aftermarket bumper. Also painted the outer rim/frame (the normally color-matched border) matte black to match the hood blackout.

A touch of Anti seize on the threads of the D rings goes along way when you're trying to take them off after being exposed to the weather... Along the same lines, cover the highlift jack or it wont work when you need it to.

I live in So Cal. What weather?

Neither one of those will never be used. Why get icky Anti seize on them? They'll be too hard to clean at the British car show at the local 50's theme soda shop.

Well, I was going to buy a bunch of old, used beat up shit found on craigslist, but that means going to uncivilized neighborhoods...

Except the location is about 60 miles off. Nice try from the peanut gallery. Oh, and nothing is powdercoated. Never said it was.

ok, azuza vs trabuco - regardless, enjoy the criticism and fun bashing

if you ever want to explore cleghorn or miller jeep let me know, always looking for others for short one day fun trips

Definitely. Do they have someplace to hose down the truck every evening?

Seriously though, planning a trip out to Johnson Valley next month and escalating from there. Actually have sliders in the garage but need to set time aside to install. Got the set from Atlantic British and need to invest in a new rivnut tool. To set the 24 the rock sliders use. Want to get one that has a larger anvil to set larger fasteners.
