I hope Corey isn't having anymore parts being shipped to your house anytime soon.

I'll look for red plastidip tomorrow but i dont think ive seen that locally. Maybe I'll do my susp skid first... and the shackles

I could always repaint it silver if it doesn't look good. Not like it currently matches any other components
Ok maybe tomorrow. took way too long to pressure wash the house/deck/lawn chairs today. Gotta run to the store tomorrow AM to get some supplies for my neighbor (i take care of her vehicles and shes due for an oil change).... will pick up some paint and go to town :cool:

Success!! Well, except that I put everything on before they were fully dry so I smudged the paint some.... but hell no one will see that!
Pictures uploading now.

I also painted my superlift springs... but didn't have time to install them.
I'm thinking of repainting my 4XG diff cover red when I re-do my springs. OR, paint my diff cover red and touch up the blue on the 4XG for a red/blue combo...
Oh and the paint matched my wheels pretty good too. Its all about how the sun hits it...

Thanks!!
When i first started painting the springs I wasn't happy with the color. So i ran back to the store to get a brighter red and am very happy with how it came out. I like it.... just enough "pop", but not too "in your face". Just what i was going for :cool:

Front guard??
I thought you have a 4xGuard front guard. No? My bad.

Nice,
I still need to post pics of mine. When I installed my OME HD setup I did the struts & shocks, along with the rear diff guard and the Engine Strut bar in Red to match the Jeep with Red lugnuts. I like the way it all pops.
