The sealant used was a two part RTV that was mixed then thinned to spraying consistency and applied with a Binks air gun, the same one as used for both the paint and the primer. The entire airplane had a thin layer of RTV between the primer and the aircraft paint.
thats pretty awesome!

I have brand new Kumho tires, nothing special but the old tires were dry rotting. I plan on getting A/T since most of my off roading will be in MS or Texas, maybe colorado? And those retread tires hilltopper sent me I can't get. Family won't even think of getting retread..
I found the the shackles, would it be best to get all 4 of the same type around?
JATE $190
JATE $176
Are these the same?
Smittybilt $54
These are A LOT cheaper than JATE but are they reliable?
Are they easily installed? Kind of like fit the shackle and slide the metal pin through right? Something along those lines

The Smittybuilt link is for "D" rings, those are used on a off road bumper, a trailer as a tie down, etc.
The JATE rings bolt directly to the frame, the frame is the most secure place to pull from because it ain't moving, if it does you have bigger problems.
NEVER EVER pull on the body itself.

Always pull on the frame.
Never the axles or suspension either, the FRAME.

Just ring them up and tell them the application.
I'd just get two for the front. For the rear get a receiver shackle. PM axeangel, he has a nice one for sale.

There are two brands that you should get one or the other of, that I mentioned in my first reply.
You'll also need a quality ****** strap...make sure you get a ****** strap designed for dynamic pulls, not static pulls.
Also a bridle for the JATE rings.

Question 1 interior
Would herculining the interior of our vehicle mess up the insulation I guess? I was talking to a Rhino liner guy in town asking him if he does interior and he said he does but wondered if I really wanted to. He told me it might make my vehicle extremely cold inside during the winter since I am losing foaming or whatever. Just wondering since the guy seemed lost on his own words, and I trust you guys with experience

While living in ND, it had been a cool wet week, I turned out of a hotel driveway and my car sank to the frame in mud. (I had to crawl out the window to get out...) had to wait till morning to get any help. It froze overnight. Car ended up being there for a week before we could get it out.
