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

I could always repaint it silver if it doesn't look good. Not like it currently matches any other components

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:

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.
