I LOVE this color

It's amazing how metallic and shiny this paint is, usually it looks darker and way more dull. Never again

You must park it on the lawn or a hill, because the the rockstar way. Only way he will be satisfied!

More like park it on a public highway, cross 6 lanes and march up the overpass interchange to get the perfect elevated shot.
The true RS143 way.

I did that a few months ago. My neighbors hate me This is the back corner of my house, I've been backing my 4Runners up here for 12 years to unload wood, grass seed, mulch and other things to the back of the house

Just a small update, I went ahead and threw some ceramic silica spray on over my nicely coated shiny ceramic coating, this just adds an additional layer of protection and gloss. May add another one before winter, but this stuff's supposed to last 6 months. I only took 1 pic because I was trying to coat and buff each panel as quick as I could, and it was super humid so I was sweating my sack off

Majofo...I can't wait to get home to see what the fuck you posted.
and Chris can't learn from my photo tactics because he's a narcissist that only
visits his own thread.

and all jokes aside Chris...I just bought a Jeep and the lower half has some rust on some
bolts. I snapped off one of the studs holding the slave on last night. Fuck my life I take all
my jokes back. Be a bitch about rust because I plan to be from now on.

I just meant the lowest most exposed rust have seen 22 years of mudding and whatever...
overall the damn thing is clean. I realize if the Jeep didn't come from AZ, it's probably going to have
some level of rusty bolts on it no matter what. Especially the TJ.

Parking on grass, eh?


Been there, done that. A lot!


How much grass gets on your floor mats?

It's the most offroading I've done with my mall crawler

Couple small updates, nice and shiny truck






A little before of the roof



What's in the box?





All roof rails removed... SO smooth



I went ahead and cleaned out the roof channels



I went ahead and sealed all the gaps around the bolt tubes with RTV silicone



And added the support brackets



Here's the first bracket installed



And here's all 4 brackets installed.






And...





Installed!

Looks fuckin good!
Have something like a cone or something to hang from the bottom of the garage door handy to put out when you put anything in the basket
so you don't forget!

Looks great. Now just need some non-garage shots!

97BlackAckCL

iTrader: (6)

They're coming... Rack isn't even finished lol, the truck hasn't been out of the garage hardly in 2 weeks. I'm ready to start driving this thing again

Yumcha

Looking good and +1 for some non-garage shots. Get her out to her element, C.

Whelp now you have gone and done it. That thing will be naturally bronze to match your wheels by mid January.








Looks good though bud. Glad you finally got it install. Now you can finally mount your awning to it but you will never be able to park in the garage again unless you let like all the air our of your tires.

Thanks man. Yeah, the awning mount will be interesting.... lol

I dare you to go put groceries in that bitch to see what people say...
or permanently hot glue 5 empty cases of natty ice in there...the looks on people's faces

Stapler

And I had just come in here to give you shit about not installing the rack.

Good job, I feel like I would be at peace if I died today.

CCColtsicehockey

ziptieing some empty cases of natty ice to the top would be priceless

CCColtsicehockey

I agree. I was about ready to think we were going to go through a second winter with it still in the box.

97BlackAckCL

iTrader: (6)

Glad to hear it bro

Yeah I definitely didn't want that. I had hoped to detail and ceramic coat the truck and roof earlier in the year like spring time but when Char Char got sick the truck took a backseat sadly.

You're doing it right.

CCColtsicehockey

You definitely made the right choise. Glad to see it on the car now. Can't wait to see what accessories it gets up top mounted to it.

97BlackAckCL

iTrader: (6)

Thanks man, I'm glad to have it on the truck as well. Probably won't get much bolted to it before winter, but definitely will be mounting some shit on it come spring time.

That poor truck can't breathe, mine when I start it up with the Intake, the exhaust and the secondary air filters swapped it BREATHES, hard to describe lol

Does it go "Vwwooosh" when you start it?

iTrader: (6)

Of course

Got the roof rack completely mounted last night, still needs a little adjustment but I needed to drive the truck to work for once. Haven't driven it in almost 3 weeks lol. Grabbed some sun shots, will have more proper shots later today hopefully



The truck is so shiny that I actually was watching other cars on the highway in the reflections on the hood lol

cu2wagon

Are you putting a tent up there?

Yikes. A little further offroad and you're gonna need a winch and some recovery straps. Stay Safe!
