Here's the Quadratec skid plates and the underside frame mounting points of the White Knuckle Sliders.

Which specific skids did you order? They look like great protection and with light weight, which is SUPER important to me!

Nevermind....I see it is 3 pieces. Very cool. I´m doing Moab in October and I may add one or two or all of these before then.

I had mine LineXed. First time off road, I peeled some of the LineX off. So I used rattle can bed liner spray for touch up.
I did the same with my old JK and it worked really well. Kept them from rusting out. I may do the same with the JT. Not cheap, but worth it. I did peel it on some rocks, but like you said, it can be touched up.

I’ve been trying to keep my rig from looking like the stereotypical “Overlanding” rig. However, on my last trip I needed both a shovel and an axe. Problem solved.

Ended up mounting dual ICOM 2730 HAM radios with the remote display's on Ram Mounts. I love how easy it is to route wiring hidden all over to give a clean installation. Overall pleased with out it turned out, and I am able to see over the top of them. (Ya over the top of them only to be obstructed by the Mojave hood bulge, but whatever) Thought about doing the overhead bar or molle mount across the headliner, but deferred, aiming for a less cluttered appearance on the dash and windshield area.

Out back are dual antenna mounts. Paired with @Diode Dynamics exceptionally bright SSC1 Yellow Pro Standard LED Pods. Had some fun with the wiring though via a Whelen ULF44 LED Flasher. On AUX3 they light up as standard floodlight for rear lighting. On AUX4, they trigger a warning pattern. Cause you never know when a shitty Nissan Altima with fake paper tags and no insurance is going to be riding your ass and might need a little encouragement to BTFO.

Followed up by a desparately needed car wash. Love the black color. Hate that it always shows dust, pollen, dirt, and everything in between.

Got the Steersmarts Yeti rear track bar put in. Was relatively smooth other than getting leverage on the ground to torque the bolts all the way.

Also did a little inspection crawling around underneath. Found the passenger side brake line rubbing on the control arm.

Used some heavy duty wire loom and an electrical tape to cover it up and protect it from future wear.

Left it at the dealership and signed it over to them, mileage statement, title, etc.
And drove away with a new one.

Haven't have a chance to do anything to it yet - was up until 2:30 last night picking my wife up at the airport, dropping her friend off at her house, and got maybe 4 hours of sleep, then final prep of the 22 and off to the dealer. They were SWAMPED so it took hours to get done.

Finally got my WARN Evo 10S installed on the Grimm Offroad winch plate and the Baja Designs Onx6 10 lightbar. I had no idea how much bigger the Onx6 was over then S8 light bars! Monster barely fits in front of the winch, but it's great!

Yeah it is. I herculined both the floors in my YJ and TJ.
Going way back on Pirate 4x4 there was a post about somone need info on removing herculiner on a hootus, after paining a jeep floor, it led to years of jokes. I know its off topic but it brought me back and made me laugh

I was just thinking of this when I was installing my lift and had to take the metal hold downs off the front brake lines.. I remembered someone posted here they had installed some hold downs from terra flex: https://teraflex.com/brake-line-anchor-kit-w-1-mounting-hole.html I think I saw them on amazon cheap and prime
