No worries...and don't be so serious. Doesn't pay to be that way with a CJ, anyway. They're too fickle.

Well Fatman, et al, since the subject of weight has been brought up, I'm a little curious. Any idea of how much weight you have added to the Jeep?

Keep in mind that the CJ forum should be fun and enjoyable and everything doesn't have to be tech. If it was I'd have been gone a while ago.
I like writing these build logs and providing information because a lot of our members here feel and act like family even though most of us have never met. I'm sure I get more out of the forum than I can provide.

Ok, something tech, ... "Just because yer tyres are on the dirt, doesn't mean it's grounded"!



.

now its getting a little thick in here. : Fatman stop talking and paint my bumpers already. I expect to pick them up on Sat.

Yea, I guess that sounded wierd. Ok, you're a butt head.
Not enough time to finish the bumpers, got the armor.

Yesterday was a productive day!
Eric & Eddie made it over and the smell of paint was in the air.

I was really surprised at how easy the Herc was to put down. Even more impressed at the finished result.

Taped off for the second time:



First coat down:



Second coat:




I know it's the underside but I went ahead and sprayed the Herc UV while I was there:




The stuff really does make a mess, especially when you're tilting the gun to shoot an edge so I covered the driveway with plastic and seemed to capture the fly away.

Unwrapped, tape job held up well for the most part, Used the "delicate" 3M tape for fear of skrew'n up the yellow, not the best tape for a bond but no paint damage.




With a little help she fount the right side up:


Prepp'n for the LAST time I put the tub on the frame:


Young gun and hid Jeep:


Some pics before we put it away for the night:
