Next available weekend I'll paint the rocker "guards" and that strip on the doors. Don't think I'll be able to match your red lettering though.. that looks sick...I like it.
It’s easy. See my threads elsewhere , or PM for materials list. Two hours work. Be nice to have a “brother” out there since it’s based on that Google orange beast!

Troubleshooting reverse lights. Tested out the SJK Roadhouse Tarp. Generator is out, flat floor back in. Finishing sliders for gear boxes and trying out different locations to stow the ARB Skydome tent…just a few days and I’m Oscar Mike!

Loading up early to get things balanced and secured before I drive a few thousand miles.

I noticed today my exhaust resonator is about ready to separate from the pipe due to rust. Again. It is the third resonator the Jeep has had. I checked my records and it was installed on 6/6/19. Only 2 years old. Are aftermarket exhausts just ****?

Possibly. Perhaps there’s some excessive heat from incomplete combustion?

You running the skid plates?
Yes indeed. Wouldn’t do field work up in the PA/MD/WV mountains without them! ;) They don’t cover the part of the exhaust resonator that has repeatedly rusted out though, or trap any significant heat. I think I’m just dealing with cheap aftermarket exhaust components and salt from PA winters. The price of Magnaflow and other quality name brands that would probably last longer is steep though.

I wonder if a rattle can of high temp paint would help. Up in Erie we used to call that “PennDotProtectant”
