TankJK: My Billet Rubi Build

[Panda]

I hopefully won't be in as much of a rush as I was with my suspension and carrier.

Don't me wrong. I've asked how much to install. The potential savings means I can get my switch set up.

I'll have some weekends free come the new year. Maybe I can get some help via bribes with some beer and burgers/pizza.

Beer and pizza? bring that bad boy up here I'll throw it in :brows:

 

[JAGS]

What about those diff covers? :grayno: :idontknow:

That was a special trip just for overlander. He likes my poser shots in front of ORE. :cheesy:

Does remind me though, I still need a floor jack and stands. :icon_crazy:

 

[pastorwug]

I'll take them. Checked mine today, they are rubbing. Besides this install is so easy even a caveman could do it.

PM me your address, I'll get them to ya.

Fired up the Amber flush mounts. Need to test them at night. Maybe be more visible at my next mall trip.

10frank9's Billet Rubi Build

Been a long while since I updated this thread. Today I tested out the technique needed to strip the powdercoat from my ATX Slab's rings.

Used some heavy duty paint stripper, a plastic scraper and touched it up with a flap disc on my grinder followed by some 330 grit to buff it out. All in all looks okay and will need to devote some time to do the remaining 4. :doh:


Oh and one of these in between

Looks good. Anyone ever striped the wheels and polished them?

 

[10frank9]

I wouldn't want striped wheels, nor would I like them stripped and polished. Just my personal taste. I'm sure you could order them raw though.
