I just want to nip this in the bud before it becomes a debate:

CF rules state that members will not discuss the removal of emission equipment, to include catalytic converters.

I am NOT asking if you removed your cat. I'm simply reminding everyone not to talk about it.

Thank you

 

I imagine there is. At least in a spot because the nut strip is pushed upwards a bit. So there's definitely room for corrosion.

I will probably clean bit up and coat it with something before installing. Since I have to have the bumper off anyways. I'm actually happy to have it installed with nuts trips just in case I needit for rrecovery. The crraiage bolts /flag nuts combo didn't exactly instill confidence.
Anyone have any pics of where/ how they mounted a plug for the trailer? I bought a Hopkins adapter so I don't have to leave a wire just tucked up somewhere.

My exhaust rattle is gone! Confirmed earlier. Stoked about that.

 

Hmmm.....got me all thinking on the nut strip thing. Should've searched/Googled first before I got all excited, eh? Looks like I'll be going with nut strips when I put that tank skid on.

Oh well, it's only pride.

 

Started painting my wheels instead of being road grime brake dust brown chrome wheels their now black!

 

I don't like that style of wheel, but they look a whole lot better in black than aluminum or chrome

 

Join the club on the not liking them but theyre what my jeep came with when i bought it they did look like this

 

Why does the picture say "2005"? Lol
Haven't set the date on your camera yet? hahaha

 

Fixed it for ya

The nut strips help spread the load along their length. Rather than one of those square washers potentially tearing out the bolt hole.

 

Was going to mention this earlier but I got a page and forgot. Particularly with the JCR strips, you're sandwiching a 10" long section of plate steel to the uniframe rail. I would not use more than a Class I hitch with just nuts and no strip - particularly on a fatigued and rusty 19 gauge uniframe!

 

The cameras ancient have to switch the battery every now and again, which resets the cameras date oh well haha So got both rears done and heres how they look mounted.

 

Time to turn them drums black... wheels definitely look better though.

 

I was going to until I took them off and realized their paper thin hahahaha

 

Looks much better!

 

Thanks man I used an air tool with a coarse sanding disk and some sandpaper, than some high performance duplicolor matteblack wheel paint no clearcoat.

 

Bought it brand new Firestone Destination M/T 33" 12.50 r15's
