This thread is awesome. Bump for certain. Would anyone have any suggestions on dyi bumpers. I sifted through 30 pages or so of this one but couldn't find one that really set me off. Pictures? Write ups?

Just did the grill mod. Instead of bedliner, I used PlastiDip. If I get tired of it...it's coming off!

If you are talking about the rear view mirror mod, grab it, flip it 180. And it will give you a better view out of the windshield and rear of the jeep.

In other words, the day/night flip tab will now be on the top instead of the bottom of the mirror.

Ok, I like the angry eyes on the lights, grill looks nice too. My thing is, I've only seen plasti dip in small containers, screw on lid, just big enough to dip a tool in, for instance, the handle if an adjustable crescent wrench. How did you apply that, and what did you buy? Do they make it in large containers?
