Where did you get your heat resistant sleeve for the harness?

Where did you get your heat resistant sleeve for the harness?

Aluminum metallic heat shield wrap

I ordered about six feet for 1" wire loom. I used lot of zip ties. It had a velcro. I can't find the exact same but similar products are listed in the link above.

Saw this thread for the first time today and was wondering what paint you used on your dash?
Keep up the good work and thanks for sharing with everyone!

I used the Rustoleum spray can with semi-gloss finish. Walmart carries it. If I were to do this again, I would do flat black due to semi-gloss glare on dash.

Wow! Regular spray paint sticks to the vinyl and does not break down from the sun! I would have never thought that.
I have cracks in my dash and was going to flock the dash after filling the cracks. Glad to see paint holds up, would much rather do that.

Repacked and cleaned the rear driver side axle bearing. Reused the bearing and axle seal as they were good. Only needed new grease, cheap maintenance. I will do passenger side later this week.

Battery tie down keep getting loose during off-road, so decided to fix the issue with sturdy solution. Homemade battery tray and tie down. I will paint it later.

Did you have two nuts per J-hook? The second one is a locknut. Most that I see only have one, which causes the hook to tear the plastic battery tray and loosen.

Nice Rig - what a rejuvenation!

Do you have a lift kit planned?
