I like it! I've been looking for something like that. Although, I'd put them on the sides. I'm afraid putting it on the rear hatch might weigh it down and keep the hatch from staying up.

 

Finally found some time to change her oil today. She was starting to sound like a diesel engine! Used Rotella T5 10w30 and she really seemed to like it. She quieted down and even felt more responsive! Still working on sanding out the Chinese name on the snorkel. Slow work on the rechargeable dremel.

 

Took her wheeling and washed her until I ran outta quarters :/ here's a pic. Check out my
Build thread in my signature for the photo description

 

Alot of people love that oil, I was thinking of running it in my Subaru soon.

 

Lol decent drop, backed up to lift it more lol

 

I had tried the T6, which I believe is full synthetic (T5 is a blend, I believe), but it's also 15W40. When I used it, I thought my oil pressure was crazy high. The T5 seemed like a decent compromise and WallyWorld had a gallon for $16. The only unfortunate thing is that I haven't seen it sold by the quart yet, so I had to buy 2 gallons and leave 2 quarts inside of that big bottle. I heard the zinc in the oil makes a lot of difference. So far, so good!

 

Yes flat tappet cams love zinc. Also the T6 is 5W40, T5 I think is in several grades as it's a blend, a lot of people run the plain ol' T 15W40 rotten dino snot which is super cheap

 

lol... way to plug your build thread, man!

haha... nice.

 

surprisingly, those actually look pretty cool.

 

Thanks! Of course they'd look even better if the fenders weren't a different color from the rest of the Jeep but hey, one step at a time lol.

 

Today was a paint day. The PO had the trim painted some champagne/gold color. Now it's 'Cast Coat Iron'.



Then I painted some rims I picked up on Craigslist. These will soon be wrapped with 31" MT's!

 

Yeah I'm afraid of it weighing the hatch down too, I'm going to be getting some and putting them on the front or rear doors. Do you know how they attach to the door

 

Put my tools, and recovery gear in the back for today's wheeling trip.

 

Did some cutting and folding on the rear fenders and lower quarter panels.

 

Got some new 100w off-road lights. I decided to bedliner my rack and install the lights on it. This replaces my separate rack I had for my old off-road lights. I replaced (6) 55w lights with (4) 100w lights. The (4) 100w light setup is much brighter!

Here's the before and after...
