Plastidip would be fine, but might be a bit of a pain if you want to remove it to paint later.

Spent the day cursing and swearing at the trailer hitch and rear bumper, with some special choice words for the person that hacked and scrapped the hitch to the frame
Its a good thing I couldn't find the phone book because I may have called the wrecker to come take it away
Finally got the hitch off, and ended up having to take the bumper off the mounts and not the mounts of the jeep. Found some more frame rust I will need to take care of, but I don't feel safe welding near the gas tank so now I am going to have to drop that too
Done for the day, waiting on the charcoal then it time to cook some burgers and try forget about today. Tomorrow I get to go back to fighting with the bumper mounts, 3 bolts out, 5 to go. Are all bumper mounts fastened with a mix of 14mm 15mm and 16mm bolts
I didn't think so

Got my exhaust in... well in enough. I got two pinhole leaks on my welds and a big leak where it attaches to the downpipe. I think I'm going to need to step down then pipe size there. I also will have to do something more permanent for a tail pipe mount even though the safety wire worked great lol. Its miles ahead of just a downpipe though, sounds so much quieter

Finally got around to pressing my jj into my Axle.
Made the u shaped bracket at work and swapped the internals to accommodate a 5/8 bolt.
Looks like the range of motion is still alright even tho it used to be a 7/16 bolt.
