I thought we were planning on completing them together? I've got to get mine over to the powder coater. I have to make sure they form to the body of the Jeep first before I think of powder coating first. Haven't had the time to do that yet.

I am down to do them together.

I'll for sure let you know. I'm hoping that I can get them over to the shop for powder coating the following Monday. If it comes out that we do yours first that's ok. Do you have good long clamps to hold the skin in place? Have to use the clamps from the skin into the cab of the Jeep. Have to make sure they are tight against the body.

I have lots of c clamps and a few padded wood clamps.
 
They are but with pop rivets. I need to pull them off to do body lift anyway so I'm putting them back on with nutserts.

The fenders are complete with trimming and all the good stuff. I still need to spray bed liner in the inner fender wells. Took some pictures of the pinch seem that BONDSY hacked off for me. Looks like I need to cut the other side after looking at it closer.

Looking from the corner down to the tire, for sure not enough room!!! Hoping I have enough time this weekend to hack it off myself with something!!!

Thank you Cap. Tomorrow I'm getting in the 5.13 gears that I've been waiting on for over a month now. Hopefully I have enough time to paint my rear fender wells!!!!
 
Got my 5.13 gears installed today. I completely forgot my camera and the guy that installed them let me use his camera. I'll have to get them from him and post them when I get them. :mad: However I started another project which is 1/2 of the way done. I still have to run copper over to the other light for the license plate.

As far as not knowing if the front gears were done or not, it's easy to find out. In 4h or 4L, they will fight eachother, kind of hard to miss.

Your a good guy at heart Lee. However I was able to accomplish the tramp stamp and license plate delete. Ran copper from the license plate light underneath the jeep then ran up through the body into a rubber bushing. Pulled it though the faberic running between the door and the cab. Then got it through the rubber boot to the black brade. Looks really good.
