What did you do to your Ultimate Jeep today - 2012

Drove my wife to the hospital @ 1130 pm friday night so she can give birth to our baby daughter.



Born 1:41am PST 5/19/12 (Which happens to be my fathers birthday as well) 6 lbs 13 oz 20".


This is the reason I missed MOAB

Looks good man. Did you use regular paint or something else?

I used Rustoleum flat black. I'm pretty happy at how it turned out.

Did a little painting. It went from this:



To this:



I just have to put the spare back under there.

That looks excellent - I imagine you sanded it down some before painting.



Also - congrats, Ryan.

Thanks. I used a wire brush first then a little lite sand paper then the paint. With the lift and larger tires I could see it and it bugged me.

I did complete replacing the roof rails on Friday afternoon.








Once I get the roof rack back form the welding shop I will put that back up there as well.

Where do you get the metal tube from?

Sorry for the delay
The one on the left was bought @ Ace Hardware, its a spacer. The one on the right is a 1/2 water pipe that was cut to fit. All of the hardware (except unistruts) was bought at Ace Hardware.

Thanks again all. I had forgot what it was like to have a newborn around again lol.

Congrats BonesWK

Threw on some new front pads and rotors. While I have run into rotors being rusted on to the hub, I didn't realize the wheels could do the same to the rotors. When I went to swap my tires front to back, the rears were actually stuck onto the rotors. Thank God for power blaster and a five pound sledge hammer. ( I was prepared for the front rotors). Might be a good idea to coat them in anti-seize, I did before re-installing them. I'm really glad I didn't find this out on a busy highway, on a dark night.
