    Installed a bluesea charging port, cleaned up my switches with the delcity scion style ones, and hardwired my gps with a fuse tap. If I had to do it again, I would just use a usb socket in the 12v part. Getting the 12v socket out was a pain!

    Idk if you've applied Herculiner before or not... your steps will need a little less than 1 quart, $19 at Autozone. For steps I would get 3 of these brushes
    20191214_113100.jpg
    as they were really useful on my steps
    20191214_113833.jpg
    I applied most of the Herculiner with these
    20191214_112712.jpg
    and they worked really well.
    Herculiner recommends 2 coats. The first coat looks like crap - let it. Thinner is better than thicker per coat. I got it way too thick in some areas. Stir the contents often being sure to dig up what falls to the bottom of the can. The more the weather is humid the quicker Herculiner will cure.

    The most difficult part of the job is getting the Herculiner can open and trying to reseal it because it's a sob...

    Bummer, I forgot... Acetone gets Herculiner off your skin, or you can buy this
    20191214_112653.jpg
    for cleaning up.

    It's ready to go out of the box, very basic wiring. Took longer to figure out where to put them than it did to install.
    Was gonna run them straight across the hood line at first.15763540327843759655620269994305.jpg

    Not sure what you mean by the backside, the housing is 2.1" as per Baja's website which is at the front of the housing, the rear body of the housing is around 1.8", and the width of the lens, from outside point to outside point is 1.5". So yea, a 1" hole is a bit of an exaggeration.

    Right on, thanks for the info!! I picked up a gallon kit on sale at autozone the other day. Hoping to be able to reseal it up & save the leftovers How was the durability on your steps? Did you do any prep on them beforehand?

    Replaced the factory tie down with the Bullet Proof Fabrication D-ring tow point. I will only use it for self recovery until I can swing a low profile bumper. Here's to being careful, and avoiding needing to use it.

    Installed my diff breather kit, replaced my back up switch, painted some rust, and chopped more of my bumper off to stop rubbing.
