Similar. The D2 has 6 LEDs? These have 4. I think they would work great as rock lights.

That funny because the other day I sprayed liquid wrench on my zippers to my top an noticed how the overspray made the top clean. I ended up spraying some on a sponge and did the whole top. It's the oils I I think that does it. I thought about doing the bumpers and fenders.

Just watch that it does not dry up and cause the top to crack being in the sun (like armor all does to dash boards after a while). This is good info, might have to try it out!!

A while ago i broke a couple of the pins that holds the shifter boot to the trim ring while removing the console to install a new parking brake.

Today I drilled (9/64) out the pins, which are just plastic nubs. Got some #6-32x3/4 stainless cap screw socket that will look nice on the trim ring.

It turns out that these screws which i thought would be the right length, they only had 4 of them in stock. This length works so i can use them, but i will go back right now and get 4 more in a shorter length.

The total for this is $4.16
+ $1.56 for 4 more screws i didn't get.

Use 303 protectant. It has SPF 40 and is dust free. Sweet stuff.

I use 303 protectant. It's safe and last longer. Well worth it!

It over over time, especially if your jeep is a DD and that armor all sits in direct sun all day. Granted, it takes time but will happen over time. It will start to spider crack or worse.
