Go to install the Coverking headliner. WTF There's no tape diagram to lay out the pre cut tape. Watched their install video. It's not much help. Plus the tape they supplied is single sided tape. Not double sided tape. Sent them a polite e-mail. waiting for the reply.

Got the Rock Hard front control arm rear mount skid plates on. Real easy. Remove the nut on the inside. Install the skid plate and nut. Torque to 190 ftlbs. I painted them red too.

Got the Rock Hard FAD skid plate installed. It was a PITA to install with the other Rock Hard front lower control skid plate installed. They both wanted the same piece of estate. Had cut a corner off of the FAD skid plate and grind some off of the control arm skid plate. Painted it red too.

The red paint is plastic dip.

And all together.

Sprayed inside the frame rails with 3M Cavity Wax. Ordered 5 cans. Used 4 cans. It goes quick. Used the 30" wand for everything. After I gone done. It was dripping out. Think it will take a while for it to firm up.

Today, I opened up the hood vents. Took all of 30 minutes. Used a 4" cut-off wheel on a die grinder and a small air powered belt sander. Still have to get a roll of silver HVAC tape to seal out the edges of the underhood insulation.

Nice! Did you notice any change with engine temps after doing this?

Going down the highway, just a few degrees. Standing still, I can feel the heat coming out. Going slow, I'll find out when I go 4wheeling.

Never seen this product, but for those of us in PA great idea. Always used fluidfilm in the past.

Stop dripping yet? Saw a kit on amazon for 4 cans and wand, 130$, you find it cheaper?
Thanks

I got 1 pack of 4 cans, and 1 can with the 3 wands off of Amazon. The frame took 4 cans. The inside the tail gate took about half a can. When you apply it when the temps are in the low 90's. It will drip for a day.

Did you ever get your coverking installed? Did it eliminate wind noise?

Just got back from vacation. Coverking sent me a new tape kit with all the pieces I hope. The install will have to wait until after the 4th of July. That's when I will have time to do it.

Couple of pic's from Rausch Creek.

Nothing like being a turtle. High centered. Got stuck 3 times that day. High centered each time.

The Power Wagon guys gave me their Winch Mob decal. Had one on my PW. You have to earn it. Helps to when you are an OG.
