    My buddy has crystalline on his windshield on his M4. I hope he doesn't get a crack or chip in it. It's super neat that the clear stuff still blocks a lot of heat & infrared.

    The same shit everyone else has.
    I did on my truck. Washed and hand waxed it. (I claybarred it a few weeks back) Then used the Mother’s CMX. If I was doing an expensive ceramic coating, I’d do paint correction first just to make it worth the cost.

    I’d at least claybar it to get all the shit off and then coat it if you don’t wanna fuck with the paint. Just get the surface smooth and defect free.

    Paint correction would make it shinier but ‍♂️. Maybe next time.

    upgraded the fog light plugs to ceramic. Ever since upgrading to higher wattage bulbs, I’ve always had issues with the plugs getting hot and deforming. Finally addressed it.

    burned in my @ARCHIVE shock towers & Hammer Hangers. Installed Kang 2.5x12" triple bypass remote reservoir bling. My butt-gyroscope says it's a much smoover ride! I can best compare it to how it used to feel with a few hundred pounds in the bed. No pogo stick, no chattering, nada. It just. Feels. Planted. Look closely & you'll see the uber custom reservoir mounts we used to get me by until I can get the real McCoys.

    Next up: UBolt flip kit, ressi mounts & Spidertrax wheel spacers (Wednesday after work)

    I went with a 12” smooth body with resi and adjustment knobs and king hydro bumps and the ride is amazing but looking at your triple bypass make me regret not going with that shock :(

    I need some front racks like yours....did you have trouble finding something that leveled out with the rear being on top the mid-rise shell?

    You've got the shock I was shopping for. King was at a local OHV swap meet, didn't have your shock but built these to order for me for less than the smooth bodies were selling for used. Was too good to pass up since I work 2 miles away from them & picked up only 1 week after ordering.

    Gold :rofl:

    I use those high density foam spacers for
    I use high density foam blocks that wrap around my front bars to bridge the height gap. Something like these. You can find them with v shapes or flat. I bought both from outdoor shop.
