^ I want to keep the fabric and padding for noise reduction. Too lazy right now to get it redone

From my Very Limited Land Rover experience, I have to agree that any noise reduction is good. I have only driven mine about 6 miles but I was surprised how completely "truck-like" it is. I'm not saying that's bad or inexcusable, it IS a truck. But Ill take any sound deadener I can get.

those are the kingsborne 8mm wires and matching boots. I know some people say it's snake oil but you can tell they are doing their job of keeping the heat off the plug wires and boot ends. Money well spent in my book. Got everything powdercoated I needed in there now it's on the the roof to do the line ex option and then start to lift it and get it off road ready. My wife calls it my wife on the side as much time as I spend on it but it's a love I enjoy

Been a long time since I posted or did any major or minor work to the disco been dumping my money into my other habit (Harley) but ole girl needed some well deserved TLC. So I did a couple things over the weekend, I repainted the fender flares and rocker panels with Bed Liner paint, added the hood blackout decal with a little bit of "Freedom" on it, replaced the rear cracked bumper up and replaced the ABS modulator. And now we have no 3....."shhh" she will hear me!



Getting is taped off



All wrapped up



Whatelse is there to do when watching paint dry...other than drink some cold beer



Taking the old hood graphic off<br/>



All prepped and ready to apply the Hood blackout wrap



marking the trim line for the vinyl wrap with cutting tape



all finished and added some Freedom!



added some Hella 500 Comets i picked up for cheap, to give it that old style look up top

Thanks, I have a vinyl graphic business on the side and usually get bored with the hood decal and try to change them up every now and again

Looks good. I'd have you do my hood if you were in California.

It's definitely not as plug-and-play as some would have you beleive. Not a physically demanding task, just a lot of "fit, adjust, install, fit, adjust, install". Especially on the CDL nipple end of the linkage.
