You are up early. No hangover day What is the bad it looks like a good deal

 

I thought plan A was to pull out...

SAS?

What are you using for paint? I used Krylon Fusion, didn't do shit for prep and painted them outside.

 

Passed out pretty early . Got up around 6:30 . No hangover . Which is good I have a busy day today .

 

That is plan A
X2 on fusion paint . That's what I used .

 

Fyi for anyone wanting to spend money EMS is having their clearance sale this weekend.I scored a bunch of sweet stuff for cheap last night.

 

Damn... already blew all my money on a buffer and a shit ton of detailing goodies I think I can officially be a Meguiar's local rep... Yesterday, I bought all this stuff:
Meg's Ultimate Wash & Wax
Meg's Ultimate Swirl Remover
Meg's #21 Yellow Wax
Meg's Quik Wax
Meg's Interior Detail Wipes

and it'll be added to the Meg's Claybar kit, Quik Detailer, Ultimate Compound and plastic polish that I already have...

 

I'm using rustoleum's plastic paint

 

Thurs yer prollum rit thur

Rustoleum = Metal
Krylon = Plastic

Rustoleum does not make a good paint for plastics and Krylon does not make a good paint for metals.

 

You can test that stuff out on my truck if you want

 

You're right, I probably could...

I've got my truck, Kendra's car and my motorcycle to do though so I wouldn't hold your breathe

 

I got it done. Two full rotations on the big nut gave me a quarter inch. Passenger side was a bitch. Bent the wrench a little. Cant believe they charge you for it after spending so much on the CO's. Should come with it. Wont have to touch them again, i think

 

cooooool. Jealous

 

Putting them back together. Woo!

 

Sounds like my Sunday....Disassemble,sand,prime,paint and reassemble rear bumper on the Tacoma.....prep front end for NEW Jasper Fog Lites and decide if I am painting grill surround black or green( match truck)

BUT now I have to help "Detail" a Lexus that has 1 weeks worth of dirt on it ......and Meguiars loves my wallet also....Connie got impatient for my Surf City order so "Local shopping" it was...

 

Yes sir I'm collecting then giving all to my jeep buddy. As of right now I have a D44 HP reverse cut from a 79 F-150. Needs to be gone thru.

 

I'm jealous! I hope my truck survives long enough so it can become an off road toy. I would love to have my truck sitting on 1 tons with a full exo-cage although I can't see that happening anytime in the near future. I need a bigger garage and a LOT of tools and experience before I tackle a job like that. Maybe when I grow up

 

Here is a before pic of my future XJ project. Already started making a list. Gonna be pretty sic

 

Spanners? I have stainless one in my tool box. No bending
