Wish you wouldn't have told us that. Now I want to go square up my 3rd tail light.

Being serious the wheeling season is starting up again soon with Winter Romp in February. So I need to get the truck sorted while i have the time. Also I might be putting the LR3 through the ringer in a event late May, so everything I can get sorted now helps me down the road.

It's well worth it, took me 10min tops. Looks basically new

ArmyRover,
Are you sure you can leave old steel tank plate ion place ? When I called Lucky8, they specifically told me that a aluminum plate is a direct replacement of the steel piece. can you confirm ?
Man...I though I have rust on the tank skid, but you just wan the category right there. Me LR3 is just the opposite of yours.Badly scratched on the body ( mine are legendary from offloading in tight woods ) but still decent undercarriage.

bingo

Here's how mine turned out. Depending on how bad yours is, may want to start with 1500 grit then go to 2000

Thorgal, 100% positive. This is a Devon 4x4 plate not a Proud Rhino or tactical rovers. It is definitely an add on plate there is no way it would secure the tank.

Don't let the pics fool you my truck is dented and has more pin stripes than a 80s show car.

Hmmmm....3rd brake light looks good! I don't know what it looked like before, but it looks great now. Mine is not hazed at all, probably a result of living in a garage its whole life. I have recently (last few years) started using Zaino Plastic Magic (polish) on it and it really pops!

it was hazy and had surface spider webbing, basically same idea as what worn out headlight lenses look like

No worries, we are all in this together lol.

Scratch and dent clearance from the guys at Lucky8 a few months back.
