Thanks guys. Haha. Yea it is pretty bright but I love it. I have a question for anyone interested in answering. My skids are shipping this week, bare. Which is better; paint, plastidip, or it doesn't matter they're skids?

It's really personal preference.

That's mine.

Mine are bedlined for the most part, not much left on the bottom side though. I don't think plasti dip will last too long at all.

Put some anti seize on the bolts when you install them, if you are lucky you wont break the weld nuts loose when you take them off for maintenance.

Looking good! I love that blue! What Tom said about the skids too! Bedline or cheap rattle can them. And anti size on all hardware!

Got some time to this weekend to take the Dremel to the bolt holes on my Shrockworks diff cover. Gave it enough wiggle room to get it installed today. Added pic and updated my sticker collection pic.

Ok, realized i haven't updated this in a few months so this is going to be pic heavy.

The updates are a few minor ones and then a few major ones. A few aren't too big of a deal so I won't load pics. (LED overhead lights, diff breather extension). But here are the rest.

1) Stealthed and painted front grill.

Image

2) Stealthed and painted wheels.
Image

3) Shock skids
Image

4) Radflo 600lbs Coilovers w/ SPC UCA's
Image

Image

5) Got some rock rash at ECXC so bedlined my rear quarters/steps.
Image

Image

6) Gobi Ladder
Image

7) Dephep w/ expanded metal floor
Image

My 3" 450lbs Alcans also came this week so the rear suspension will be getting overhauled soon with those, PRG adjustable shackles set to 1", Bilstein 3-4", and the good 'ol DIY home depot brake line extension.

Very nice, a lot of progress since the shocker run. Alcans already? I guess you couldnt take the AAL squeaking any longer

Post subject:  Re: Fromfrontier2Xterra's Smurf
Haha, yea they've been squeaking for weeks even before you guys heard it at ECXC. It put me to wits end and ordered them hoping to having them before then, but didn't get in time. Oh well, will be on for next event!
