    Yup, learned that the hard way haha. The clear coat can said apply when the base was still wet, but I didnt consider the reaction between rustoleum and that

    If it's a rustoleum clear then you should be ok, as they are matched. Otherwise I've learned to bake the first layer before adding clear.
    Paint has weird shit like reducers, fixers, solvents and other crap. Knowing the formula helps reduce bad interactions. No wonder it took many years for auto makers to start using a clear coat.

    OK, thanks for the clarification. Maybe some will create a mud flap the attaches to the outside of the flare? Hmmm.......

    Raises the mounting point higher. Unclip your mirror. Attach mirror riser to stock clip. Reinstall mirror onto riser. I used 3m tape at the top to further secure it.

    Thanks! I got it to keep the weight low because the engine is a 2.7 and I haven't seen too many with a bumper like this. There are no bumper pieces moving around, there are actually tabs behind the steel new bumper piece that kind of act as retainers and keep the bumper in the right area. A really nice addition I like that US Offroad makes it this way.

    Got my Northstar 31m from the recent group buy, as luck would have it my battery died about a week after the group buy happened lol

    Pelfreybilt cage fit no problem

    Slee extended mil spec terminals were an easy solution to my paranoia that the factory cable wouldn’t have enough length. I was right, NO WAY would it have worked

    Guess that’s the difference between model years :notsure:

    Either way, truck cranked up like a champ!!!
