Not a whole bunch to report over the last week. Had another inch of lift added via a coil spacer, and installed a Magnaflow dual exhaust, just to give it a noice growl.



However, this is how it was driven down Macleod Trail today, needless to say, it got quite a few raised eyebrows. I felt like I was driving a Mad Max movie prop. I almost considered leaving it that way, it looks pretty awesome lol:



Big update coming in the next day or two though, here's a hint:

K. I wasn't sure how much I'd care about this at first, but it is actually quite neat.

This is one of my biggest pet peeves. Nothing like having a decent vehicle get pelted with #### because redneck randy with his jacked up Dodge on 35" tires couldn't be bothered putting $150 worth of mud flaps on.

I should get the ######bag stickers from Russia made for those people.

Jeep looks awesome Pylon, you could always gravel guard the lower half to cover your backyard bodyman work.

Lol. I left the spray lining to a spray liner company. I was just stopping by after work to check their progress.

Already in the plans. I'm just going to use the rattle can bedliner for that. If I wasnt trying to keep this on a budget, I would have just had the spray liner guys do it. But once they have to start masking and prepping the Jeep, you get expensive, real fast. Taking the parts I did loose and prepped? He basically just threw it all in the bay when he was shooting a truck and just charged me for materials and a little labour since he already had the equipment sparked up and urethane loaded.

I've seen the odd truck completely coated in this stuff in place of paint. Does it add much weight?

I passed you yesterday morning around Peigan on Deerfoot north.

Or at least I think it was you...

Looking good so far.

I've heard a whole truck can add up to 200 pounds. I'll tell you though, if I was in charge of the military, every single light duty truck would be done tip to tail when they were new. The urethane based liners are damn near indestructible.

^ 200 pounds? Holy mackerel.

You’re right, they are really indestructible.

Yup. Just bought a truck and it didn't come stock with mud flaps, and yes it is technically a law I do believe. One of our hockey dad's got ticketed by CPS this winter because his new truck did not have them. Got it at the same time he was getting a speeding ticket so the cop didn't stop him just for the flaps but tacked it on while he was at it.

I'll be doing the lower quarter panels on my older truck this summer with cheap rattle can bedliner as well. If done right it can actually look pretty good.

Yeah that's really the only time they'll enforce it, when they already have you pulled over for something else. Just like tint.
