That looks really good! I look forward to seeing it installed. I’ve never loved all of the black plastic on Jeeps, and especially with paint matched fenders and roof I would seriously consider a painted bumper on mine as well.

Wait a minute, did you do that with rattle cans?! I see you said automotive paint, but not sure if you mean using an HVLP system or spray paint cans. Either way, looks great!!

Question, I'm at the last few steps and waiting on my striker bar. I'm thinking of putting nylon thin washers over the metal washers to protect the paint and also provide any sort of dampening to vibration. Would this be a bad idea? It will go thin nylon/rubber washer, zinc plated steel washer, zinc plated lock washer, and then the hex bolt.

Update, lights have been wired, weather proofed, and hidden under winch plate. Nothing loose, tight and clean.

Keep in mind, is not bolted on or leveled. It’s just resting. And this is pre-striker bar which should be here tomorrow.

I did use nylon washers for areas that were metal to metal. In some spots I used a heavy-duty t-rex weatherproof tape to protect paint and help prevent chipping and rust. Came out perfect. Will post a bunch of photos. Everything has a nylon or weather-tape. and than a zinc steel flat washer, zinc steel lock washer, and nut. so it aint moving.
