Since my Overland doesn’t have the “big black box” around the rear view mirror. The vertically challenged one here placed a tinted strip film up front. Cause every morning that big beautiful orange ball would sear my retinas, always where the visors weren’t. Problem solved.

is that a special piece of tint, or does a tint shop just cut normal tint short to do that? i like the idea.

i masked off the holes and filled them with fiberglass resin and used a few pieces of cloth on the backside.

Tomorrow i get to sand down the excess resin that files the circular tape cut out, flush with the rest of the paint, then its getting vinyl wrapped tuesday.

ever tell somebody not to flush the toilet for some reason and then they flush it out of habbit? I didn't want somebody (myself included) to close the tailgate as gravity is holding the un-cured resin in the tape hole.

Steffen believe it or not just bought a small roll of static cling tint from Pepboys I measured it and cut it for my field of vision.
Sprayed some soapy water on and Wallah!

Ok,next! Well we did get an opportunity today to mount the Rubi rims and Falken tyres. My lift is currently occupied with a resto project, so luckily my my mechanic buddy let me use his shop lift. I tell you what, I was surprised by how much more the
Rubi/tyres weigh compared to the Overlands stock combo rim/tyre. Once on the road though I didn’t notice any less grunt from the engine. Rides nice. In the coming weeks hope to get the Rubicon suspension installed.

@steffen707. what is the plan for the tailgate?

Just an fyi for those interested in plugging the holes...

A lot of Porsche guys use these to plug up the holes where the front plate would screw into the bumper and destroy the look of the car (including me!).

Installed a Cobra 75 radio and finally got to go topless. Still hotter than hades here in the fl panhandle but figured i would put my big boy pants on as my wife calls them and suck it up a few days before the rain comes back. Really like the way the JT looks w/o clothes. And btw, top is incredibly light compared to my JKR. Opened the sliding rear and picked up with ease... gonna really like come fall and next spring.

MAN i did a ton yesterday and this morning TO Gladys.

I filled the rear holes in the tailgate, took the sport badge off, cut the drain plug carpet plugs out to properly install my floor mats.

I parked Gladys in the garage for the first time......need to organize so all of her can fit, lol. Actually, no I need to build a 3rd stall for a proper work area.

I completed my badass freedom panel customization. If you want to see the whole write up check out this link. Where have you been all my life, Gladys?
