I don’t know how close your sliders are to the body. But on my TJ I was able to slide a piece of vinyl behind my poison spider sloders and use a heat gun to get it to stick to the body. Then the spider logo is blue against the khaki body paint.
Thats a good thought but I went pretty crazy with the 3m. Ill pull them off in the spring to check for signs of corrosion anyway who knows I may love it by then.

Got some vibrations between 55-60mph…nothing at 70+.

Torqued down the front suspension. Then I made sure my spacers and wheel lugs were good. This is where I noticed that the weights in the wheel were peeling off. Put some 3M on it for now and sure enough the vibration got better. Makes me wonder if more fell off since the road force balance a couple weeks back.

Dropping it back off at the dealer next week smh

Edit: Dealer did a regular balance and checked the weights. Vibration gone. Thanks Wildhobo

Side note: Look at all these fuckin weights. Is this normal for Baja Boss ATs (OEM wheels)

It looks like you could always add some kind of blue filler in there

That hood is crazy cool.
Its from a company called TotlInnovations.
im hoping it will pull a good amount of heat out from under the hood and I had them add a small bracket In the fiberglass abead of the ram air inlet so I can put an oiled pre filter in

Edit: no play in ball joints, tie rod, or drag link. Aside from the ball joints, those are all fairly new and upgraded anyway.

FWIW, Mickey Thompson does not recommend road force balancing on their Baja boss tires.
