That blue looks awesome!

Thanks! I used Dupli-color scratch filler primer and Krylon Flat Crystal Clear. If you want it to match the body spot on, I’d go with a gloss clear coat, but I was worried about glare from the sun.

Update: I had the smittybilt mirrors and they were doing great on highway. However, after trail riding and hitting some rough and jarring terrain, both arms stripped and wouldn’t tighten, making the mirrors useless. I still think for the price they’re great for paved use. I did what I should...

First load of plywood. She’s officially broken in.

The dealerships have PGV (gator) available in the spray paint, but they haven’t come out with the touch up pen yet. The last time I checked was last week. I honestly haven’t looked at any other places because I was worried about getting the beryl green. I tripled checked with the website I got...

I used it for the black on my a/c bezels and it’s holding up well. I’d definitely recommend considering the mopar color match spray paint from the dealer to get the perfect match. It’s a little pricy, but one can is sufficient if you use primer first.

I had the same thought process. The install wasn’t bad at all. I pulled the end caps, installed the winch, and installed the stinger all in one setting.

So the bar is almost directly in front of the camera when you’re on flat ground (see first pic). Although it looks bad, this is a good thing. When you’re on steep terrain where you can’t see over the hood (like the camera was designed), there’s no blockage of the terrain (second pic and third to...

I used the Mopar color match rattle can. However, I didn’t want the shine, so I did a flat clear coat over top. It’s the same color, but not as shiny as the outside. This pic kinda shows the difference in shine.

We did a little exploring today. It still amazes me how much the color changes in different lighting.

Actually, the guy that edited the photo for me blacked it out. Not sure why, but I won’t complain.

you guessed it

Finally got a chance to get the truck a little dirty today!

I took the one that came with it and painted it with a high heat black. The black one I ordered was on back order and I was impatient. I’ve used the winch a few times and it’s held up, but I’ll swap them once the paint starts chipping.

Ah, that would have been a decent hint lol.

Looks good! Is that Gobi or gator? It’s hard to tell.

I did! I actually did a post on how to disassemble the steering wheel under the DIY Section if you’re thinking about doing it.

I also wasn’t a fan of the red. This is a rattle can job using Mopar touch up paint and matte clear coat. Not super difficult and cheaper than a wrap.
