the cdl nipple was easy. It was the high low that was a pia!!

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

The Distressed American Flag Oscar Mike Star (22inch x 22inch) runs $25 plus $9 shipping. I'm working on some options to be able to ship the Hood Blackouts for Disco 1, II and LR3.

I also do vinyl graphic's here in California on the side. If you are willing to send me the eps file for the freedom logo you made then I can help here on the west coast also.

save your money and repaint it. its very easy to remove follow the directions in the forums. I did mine in one day. once out just remove the headliner material and sand off the remaining foam with a wire brush then a smooth sanding with some 60 grit. then I painted mine with rustoleum black hammered finish. I get lots of compliments and ill never have to do the headliner again. and the money you save by doing it yourself you can put mating on roof for sound deadening before reinstall.

Here is my rear door camping mod in working positions. Using earth magnets to hold left tray in upright position And chains to hold it in down position for use. I moved the lower carrier box to above speakers for spices and oils. And have second table to right for prep. The table on left will be used for portable stove. or coffee brewer. This mod will help while camping and while my tent is setup as I can access my vehicle from back of room and open my door all the way while inside tent. if you


dammed I love modding this car. I've modded a few cars to my liking but to get ready for overlanding and traveling this is so much fun. hope you all are liking it.

That table is cool! Interesting approach. I did a single table, and in hindsight can see the advantage of two separate tables (one for stove, one for misc).

Yesterday I installed an 8" extension for the front runner rack so that the rear lights will sit nicely over the end.

I installed maxtrax onto my frontrunner rack today, and installed front and rear diff guards.


next up, greg davis bumper, TF wheel arches, and bush cables.

I drove my '99 D2 with factory everything from Salt Lake City to Scottsdale AZ. With 7 people in her and a bunch of stuff in the cheap Reese cargo basket on her roof we made it without issue. It was 112 when we arrived in AZ, so she is in my in-law's garage getting some well deserved rest.
