Check out OnX-Offroad (their hunt app is incredible and the offroad is new and constantly adding features), I'm giving that a try this year in conjunction with GPX Viewer (I download GPX files from trails offroad or other sites). I always try to do a high level google offline map of the area I'll be traveling in as well. Lots of redundancies but I really don't want to get lost and end up on someones property and they not take it kindly lol.

Finished stripping the bumper of the crappy Durabak. Added some rustoleum etch and prime then three coats of herculiner. I think it turned out great. Going to do the fenders and front bumper this weekend. If it goes well I may strip the plastidip off the roof and do the it as well. Pics forthcoming!

@cvhyatt this is one of the most impressive write-up, builds, build updates I've read across several forums. I've enjoyed the process and like seeing the end result, as I'm sure you do too. Keep up the good work!

Got it strip down to bare metal in a couple of hours. Almost hate repainting this! Looks kind of cool in a MadMax sort of way!



Wire wheel made quick work of the remaining Durabak

Ready for primer

Old ATV trick I used to do to keep the mud/clay from sticking to my ATV = spray the underside of the fenders or wherever you don't want it to stick with WD40 or heck PAM cooking spray. It will create a layer between your fender/undercarriage and the mud/clay. Then it will either fall off or come off very easily with a power washer or garden hose.

Finished the front bumper, changed the oil and upgraded the oil filter. Also retorqued the harmonic balancer bolt to 200lbs which was much easier than I expected.

Now onto the fenders!

next up

1) Fab New bracket for lights
2) Herucliner wheels
3) Herculiner roof​​​​​​

A minor project this evening but I was so impressed with the results I thought I would share with you all. Was watching a video about headlight restore products on project farm and this was their 1st place product in the category.
