We have to get all matching colored bolts under there.

Do the florescent rope lights attach directly?

waggoner5 · Apr 15, 2012

That was optional.

BTW....nice skid plate! Looks like a powdercoated version of the same skid I tortured and bent on Rubicon! That sure was fun....love to try again!

Fixed the shakey mirror yesterday. I really should have made this mod/fix #1.

I know what you mean. My drivers side has been rattling well since I bought it

One of these days I guess I'll get around to it.

It's an easy repair. I've done the driver side twice. Now both mounting ears are made out of epoxy.

I don't remember if the Ptarmigan has one of these installed...

Ptarmigan 2.0.... the winter plumage is coming in

Impetuous? I don't know.... I had a wild hair to wet sand my perfectly good paint. Turned out pretty good and now I have a new toy

Freshly powder coated goodness....

new color is on the left, old color on the right.

Replated all the bolts. Other than the sorting, the install is much easier with clean hardware.

man, you are funny.

The paint looks pretty awesome...... and all that hardware does too.

Where'd you get it plated? Aeropropeller? it looks like they did a really nice job whoever it was.

I like the new PC color also.

Now I know why you took all the stuff off for emissions testing.

I think my favorite part is the CAD on the shackles.
