How did you apply that, and what did you buy? Do they make it in large containers?

Got mine at lowes.. heres the trick. . Apply 3-4 coats. Only allowing 5 -10 min in between .. and the cool thing if u get tired of it u can peel it off. . The more coats the easier to pull off i one piece.. after ab a day later.. it will harden up enough to withstand rocks. .mud. . Pressure washer wont take it off. .but if u want if off simply scratch hard with a fingernail and pull off!!! I love this stuff. . .i do the lower 1 ft of my ride before i heavy offroad and i dont have to worry brush messing up paint

Did you pull your grille 1st?
How hard was it to do?

He got a new Steering Stabilizer. It appears to be a bilstein. He drove a lot and likes the way his jeep handles. You are now up to speed...
