Finally installed my rear steel mopar bumper and completed the raptor treatment on my fender flares, and sliders. Now the entire lower portion is covered in the raptor. Absolutely love it.

Coating looks good - Is the raptor coating from a rattle can? Does it have UV stabilizers TO prevent fading? Does the coating on sliders provide some grip if used as a step?

Debadged it... I have a grey/black Rubicon decal set and the grey trail rated badges I was going to put on but it looks really clean like this too... I wish there weren't holes in the tailgate

This is the look I want to do as well. What did you end up doing for the tailgate?

Ended up putting the black/grey badges on, and painting the red portion of the tail gate letters. I like the look overall much more than with the red. After a week of driving around completely debadged it looked a bit too naked imo.

Finished the grey/black badge conversion on the Rubicon. Very satisfied.
Excuse the repeat photos but I just wanted to show how they play together, style-wise.

I added some red loctite to the bolts and retorqued my steering gear. Maybe now it will stay tight!

I used the product that requires a compressor and schutz gun. All comes in a kit. It does have UV protection. As far as grip on the sliders it may have improved it a bit but I would not call it a solution just a nice addition.

Nothing that exciting today. Oil change and air filter replacement. All 5 quarts came out looking perfectly fine for 5,000 miles. It’s the little things, like not burning oil. :) The air filter wasn’t that dirty, but I put the new one in anyway.
