    No pictures, because....well....there ain't much to show for all the work, but, I spent a few hours with masking tape, old newspaper, and a couple spray bombs. All I have to show for it is a much blacker, much cleaner looking frame, fender wells, brake drums, calipers, etc....I used a matte finish paint. Last thing I wanted was a frame that looks like it's been buffed and waxed. Busy week ahead at work. We're starting the 2016 budget process, so not much will get done except to start packing for next Saturdays trip to Black Mountain Off Road Adventure Park in Harlan Ky.

    Put a new passenger side cv in to replace the leaking replacement cv. Hopefully this one doesn't leak.

    Took my old HID retros off and replaced them with one of my 40" slim lightbars and two cubes in my new DBCustomz grille.

    Yes, two nutzerts per side, then holes for optional rivets, we did three per side. Filled all holes with silicone before installing both nutzerts and rivets, not going anywhere now!

    Some one could take the bar maybe, I've seen it happen. Maybe get some security hardware if you don't already

    Spent the weekend finally doing my retrofit that came in earlier this week from TRS. Mini H1s with 35W Ballasts and 5500K bulbs with RGB LED Halos on wireless remote. Great quality material and really not hard at all to do. Most nerve wracking part was pulling the headlights apart.

    Before:

    After painting and starting to get things pieced back together:

    Definitely happy with the final product. Output is WAAAAY better than stock.

    Flushed brake fluid and power steering fluid. Also greased U-joints, driver side upper ball joint and tie rod end (replacements). Steers better but brake fluid wasn't bad so not such a drastic change.
