Bored, so I gave it a headlight treatment. Painted the bezels, retaining rings, and screw heads flat black. Then, just for fun, I gave it angry eyes. I made the mistake of showing my 4 year old son, now if I remove it, he'll never forgive me. It's his favorite thing on my Jeep.

While on my Jeep/camping trip in CO... drove up Mount Zion north of Leadville. Wow! Awesome (4-wheel low) climb and fun to drive, and what a view!

You should, in no way, take any of this personally. It's just business. So to recap, I come in peace, I mean you no harm, and you all will die. Gallaxhar out.

I did cause after taking them on and off 4 times in under a week to do suspension stuff I got sick of them. Also have lost a majority of the little push clips and have not gone and bought anymore. Plus the rear metalcloak mod fenders are going on before the fall and you have to remove them anyway to cut the tub. Guess I just got sick of them.

I know what you mean. So much better than stock. Finally got my ACOS figured out and set to install Saturday to level her out.

I made that mistake. Even took before pics, pulled them all off including the sound bar cover and put them in Rit Dye. Other than a little less dusty, couldn't tell. Was going to hide my embarrassment.....

oil pan leak....loose bolts
so was changing fluids in transfer case after replacing o-ring on speedo-gear due to probable leak. while under Jeep, noticed what appears to be an oil leak from around oil pan on drivers side. remembered reading someone on here had same problem and was remedied by tightening loose bolts on oil pan. sure enough, bolts were loose...just guessing 1/4 to 1/2 turn before really engaged. So, here's to hoping that's all to this.

I just finished putting in my front coil spacers about an hour ago, and the ride is sweet. Like a Cadillac.  I need new bump stops though.... My old ones are dry-rotted.
