I got the back Doors and Tailgate/Hatch all sanded and masked now in prep for paint. I even sanded all the crud/dirt off the rubber gaskets around the windows, so they're nice and black.

My brother in Law came to visit Saturday, so i took a break from painting and he helped me put on a 4Crawler Body Bushing and 1" body lift kit on the 60. It was really easy to do!

A few of the old body bolts were so rusted that they were fused into the bushing sleeve and sheared off when we tried to turn them. Once we got them off, we jacked up the body and i got in there and cleaned and painted all of the Frame body mounts, before we put the new bushings, spacers, and new hardware back in.

The poly Bushings sure look alot nicer in there than the old Rubber ones that came out, and It's only an Inch lift but i think it's pretty noticeable. Now even with 33's there is a ton of clearance in the wheel wells, Probably enought for 35's even though it's SUA.

My Family and I are going to Cali for vacation the end of this week, but I will be ready to go on the paint when I get back!
