Paint inside the logo cutout! Spray a crap ton in there and then rotate the sliders so it rolls around and coats the inside. Once mounted, drill a hole to let water drain out.

Yep! Sprayed a bunch in there so hopefully it won't be an issue

Got my dynomax quiet crawler installed, the tail pipe oddly wasn't fitting right so i hacked i short, plan was to cut a bit back anyway for more clearance but happy with how it turned out, hard to tell from the pic, but it dumps out just past the track bar and away from the shock
Decided to give her a nice bath today too as the weather is amazing
Looking fwd to getting my sliders burned on in the next week or 2 as they are all painted up, need to do my oils change next week so planning in installing my EVO protek skids then.
Otherwise she's all ready for some 37's and Slabs, just need to keep working on getting all that together too. With the weather improving and the snow melting, I'm excited to get back on some rocks before to long

Thanks man! Slowly but surely. Glad it's nice out so I can actually get some of this stiff done

I love the black look when it's clean but it's hard to keep it that way, especially lately with the way the roads have been

Thank you!
I like the tone a lot, it's surely more throaty and a deeper tone than stock but it is not very loud, there is a considerable change from stock but having run different exhausts on multiple vehicles it's definitely quieter than most aftermarket exhausts that I've run

Getting the EVO sliders welded on tomorrow morning so off with the rubicon sliders
Changed my oil and started the install of my EVO ProTek skids, basically just wanted to watch some basketball so I'll get the tranny and crossmember skid on tomorrow

Oh I forgot to "trial" the sliders before I loaded them up. Do you put the longer or shorter post towards the front of the Jeep when welding on? I'm sure I'll mess with it tomorrow and it'll make sense but I can't remember when we did my 2 door ones

Longer end goes toward the back.

The two posts closer together go towards the back.
To keep the vertical spacing right, I used a 1in square piece of steel tubing running the length of the pinch seam. Butted up the slider to that and clamped in place. Couple of tack welds to keep it in place and then can remove the tubing and prep the other side.
