Today was kinda a big deal for me and Spider. It started off with washing the lower part of the Jeep in preparation for the EVO Rock Skins. That entailed using water from my kitchen sink because my hoses were frozen. Anyway, my day ended with completing the skins and getting my gears as well as a set of ProSteers ordered from Bubba at Exodus Jeeps. I had to use a payment method he doesn’t advertise, but he accommodated me anyway. Thanks again!
Ok, nutserts. They hate me and I hate them! I’ve used them once for my 3rd row seat. For whatever reason I totally sucked at my first skin. I also misdrilled one hole so if someone would look close enough they would notice, but it’s fine otherwise. Two nutserts spun on me which led me to using the dremel.
I had to loosen the actual front metal fender on the passenger side to cut one nutsert off. I discovered 5+ years of sand, dirt and dead bugs in there. Once I saw that I figured if I clean that out occasionally and loosen the skins and pressure wash that I could go without the RTV. So that’s what I did, skipped the RTV.
The drivers side went on like butter. I chased all of the threads with my 1/4-20 tap. That made a huge difference!!!
I started at 9:30 this morning, took a few short breaks and finished at 8pm! [emoji44] I won’t win any speed contests but I learned a lot and love having the protection.
