    It is stupid bright...now when I use it at night, then switch it off when other drivers are coming towards me, my low beams feel like fog lights :laughing:

    Extra frame braces for front Pelfrey are on. I now feel very confident winching and recovering off the bumper. Total of 12 attachment points...3 on either side with stock studs, 1 bolts on either side going through bumper, crossmember, and bolting on rear side of cross member on the Pelfrey brace, then 2 stock sway bar bolts going through frame brace on either side.

    Just looking on weather history for that day and it was about 60* when I applied it I think.

    Thank you Matt. I just applied 2.5 cans in a heated garage at about 65* and so far i hate it. Its a pain in the dick to apply without getting it all over the place and all over yourself. But we'll see how it lasts.

    Hahah really? I found it pretty easy in the spray can format...I could see it being difficult in a roll on method though.

    Sorry to hear it wasn't as easy for ya :)

    Its not your fault i'm whining lol. I think i had rather brushed it on than spray it actually. But ultimately i'd like the frame to have been hydro dipped in gloss black.....the world is not perfect though :eek:

    Washing the frame was less aggravating than spraying the fluid film. I was cautious not to get it on belts, hoses, drive shaft, brake parts, body mounts....its all over my exhaust but i guess it'll burn off :notsure:

    Yeah I'm basically just trying to stall for time with the frame. I know I won't be able to stop all the eventual rust but maybe get another year or two out of it.

    My cab mounts have pretty much stop creaking finally :eek:

    Me too...I think the lines of the Pelfrey are a lot better...nice and clean :)

    It also helps my OCD to have Pelfrey on front and rear :anonymous:

    I won't bake mine apart and paint them either. The hell with that. I'd rather pay someone to build me a retrofit :D
