The wire and POR15 were a lot of work. The chassis paint was very satisfying... maybe a little too satisfying.

Hopefully I can get over to @JZelnick for fluid film before we get hit with snow again

Metal tech?Finally got my sliders installed. Said very few bad words despite doing it solo and dealing with AHC impediments.

Yep yep.Metal tech?
Installed Tough Dog Cell foam shocks. 41mm front and 45 mm adjustable rears. Also, took care of the surface rust on the shock mounting brackets.
One of the rear shocks came out busted! Only 12 months and 8k miles!

I recently ordered the recommended clamps from McMaster Carr, and they fit great. Much more secure than a zip tie. McMaster part numbers 5574K25 and 5574K16.Installed a Trail tailor drop diff.
Installed the pax side UCA. The drivers side UCA spacer from SPC decided to play hide and seek and it won. Spent 3+ hours looking for it. Ended up ordering a new one from SPC. Should be in by Thursday.
Anyone use zip ties for the inner tie rod boot? Ordered a few clamps but one was to small one was to big and very limited space to crimp it using a cv boot clamp tool.
Just drove it abt 20 miles. First 20 miles at the hardest/sportiest setting and it was way too bouncy. My heart sank thinking that $700 and 5 hours of labor were all for naught.
Then switched to mid setting (4 clicks back) and it made all the difference in the world. It is very composed on highway and fairly compliant on our broken and patched streets.
I am planning to post more thoughts once I have a bit more miles on this set.
. Tomorrow after 24 hours of curing I'll wash it again and hit it with their SiO2 booster spray.
Nice job. I’ve never used McKees coatings but most coatings I use recommend not washing the vehicle for a week. May want to look into it further before washing the truck immediately after the cure period.
Did you cut the tabs off the ARB? I just installed mine and I removed the grill brackets so when I open or close I push the grill in. I was about to cut the tabs but decided to try this for sometime.
