Finally getting around to punch list items. Media blasting and powder coating a bunch of smaller parts. First set done, few more to go

I started what should have been easy, Metalcloak Baller ball joints. Took all the brakes, links etc off both sides Friday so today was pop knuckles off, press out joints, install new. Done it on VWs, Porsches, old Ford trucks etc, probably 30 sets of joints. Top passenger side, knuckle slid down the joint shaft a bit but lower would not let loose. Can't hammer on the knuckle too much, ball joint separator wouldn't budge it more than 1/2". It was stuck on the lower. % hours later, I said 'F' this, angle grinder, 7" cutoff wheel and cut the shaft since I had just enough exposed. Knuckle freed and I STILL had to put it in an H press to get the piece of ball joint shaft out. Rubbed my RANGER tab a couple times for strength and got old joint out of the C, new joints in. Driver side tomorrow.

No more reaching in behind the steering wheel. Now it is right at my fingertips.

I had no idea this was an issue. I guess I have not driven a newer Jeep
Not a huge issue, but it felt like it could be a little bit longer. Now it is right at my fingertips with quick flick to flip it up or down.
Obviously it was a concern for others as someone made a solution. Good deal

Yep. Not happy about it but it is what it is for now.
All that glitters is Gold!
Got the UnderCloak skids installed today! Thank you to Nick and OCD Offroad for continuing to do a fantastic job.
Yes, there are bolts missing in some of the pictures. I assure you, it's properly installed now that it's finished. LoL

Pyrite and vermiculite glitter too and don't get me started on actual glitter from the craft store. That stuff gets everywhere as soon as you look at it.
Coming home covered in glitter......moma might have some questions
Yesterday was top swapping day. Hard top is up on the hoist, and soft top is back on the Jeep, just in time for The Cove this weekend.
Mounted some more badges, I am up to
15 now. I sacrificed the unreadable wrangler unlimited sticker to have room for more future trails.

Love it!
