I wish I had known that before. We had a hell of a time trying to find pop rivets that would fit and work. But I doubt it will be last time I end up taking them off so it's good to know where I can find them again!
Oh, we also figured out that the bumper fascia and front fender flares were pretty messed up. Some of the plastic clips that hold it together were broken clean off and the bumper had been split up a 'seem' so we removed everything off the front end temporarily and jerry-rigged everything back...
It's been a long while since I updated anything, but I've been steadily working on Baymax despite being busy with finals and home improvement projects. Ran into a snag a couple weeks ago when I discovered my radiator had a crack and was leaking, but I got that replaced pretty quick. Also got...
I finished doing my first round of TLC repairs today!! I got to take Baymax on a real drive!! (As opposed to a scared drive home praying he wouldn't explode)
Only a few more things to take care of on the TLC list!
Someone referred me to him not too long ago, I planned on trying to getting an appointment to talk to him. I saw their website, his stuff is really awesome!

I just got a guy quote me $450 for a custom bumper. I'm stoked!
I head up and down Powers all the time! I'm down in Security but some of my classes are up at the Rampart Range campus. I'll have to keep a lookout for ya!
Are you seriously local to me?! When I was very first looking at jeeps I was doing google image searches and I kept seeing yours! Seriously it's one of the reasons I ended up deciding on a KJ!
