I wouldn't paint with bedliner though. That is rough and porous do dirt and such will stick to it, especially since it will be on top of a non flat surface.

There is also the heat gun trick to get them to turn black. Don't know anyone to try that, but have read about it online. 😉

Might take some elbow grease and a stiff bristle brush. Then just maintain them.

Took some time today to make this Spiderweb Shade style deal! I got a 4x6 American flag, a pack of grommets, and a value pack of 8 bungie balls all from Lowed for $40 bucks. I used zip ties on the front and then pulled it tight and did the back corner grommets next. Ran the bungie balls under the seatbelt mount on the roll bar. Then I did a set of grommets and bungie balls right behind the sound bar, right in front of the sound bar, and mid way between the windshield and the sound bar. I'm very happy with it! I'll let yall know how it holds up over time.

Just sitting here at lunch thinking about what to do next on my jeep so I ordered something new! Can't wait for it to get here! Probably going to be the most beneficial upgrade for daily driving yet, or should I say nightly driving?

The new package came in yesterday! It got here in two days! Trucklites! They only took about 5 minutes to install. It was the easiest install ever! Especially compared to swapping the headlights in my old WJ. I'm very happy but hopefully I'll get a chance to aim them and do some night driving tonight.

The garage picture is in the middle of the day with the Jeep sitting just outside of the garage.

I haven't done much Jeep related things lately. I've been working on building a headboard out of pallet wood. Its almost done. I might post some pictures of it.

I did get a little something in the mail for the Jeep the other day. Ill post some pictures tonight. I also picked up some lube since its time for a oil change.

Hopefully I will be able to put on my new items, change the oil, and finish the headboard tonight. :yup:

I'm also moving to Raleigh this Friday/Saturday so I've been pretty busy.
