    What did you do to your jeep today?

    I had a five-year alignment plan with a national chain. I started it when I was stuck down in Virginia for a year. Got back here to Ohio and went in for a check. The guy comes back like three minutes later and says "You're good". I asked to see the before and after measurements and he...

    Have your battery tested. We've had others who had random weird alerts and many of them were caused by battery issues. Let us know what you find. :)

    profdlp's 2007 Liberty Project

    One thing I can't emphasize enough is to do very light coats of the Plasti Dip. The first coat should look like a light film of dust. The second coat should look just a bit "dustier". It is tempting to just glob it on there and get it over with but I don't think it would adhere as well.

    Plasti Dip details were here: Dipped The Tires I did not take any pictures while applying it. Do a search and you can find some from other people - that's where I saw the "deck of cards" trick to save time masking.

    I made sure they were clean. It's been ten years but I think I just scrubbed them down and then wiped them off with some rubbing alcohol. I know I did not go to any great lengths to do a lot of prep work. It is such an easy job that I figured I'd just give it a shot and re-do it if I made too...

    profdlp's 2007 Liberty Project

    I used Plasti Dip on the wheels and it has held up very well. I just masked the rims off but some people use a deck of cards slid in around the rim which may be easier. One thing I forgot to do was to wrap some lug nuts (old ones if you have them) in masking tape and lay them in the rim to...

    Drove it to the BMV to get tags for the trailer I bought a few months ago.

    Surprisingly not slippery. They have grooves from one end to the other. Oh, and the roof rack is new as well. The old one gave me ten years of faithful service but was really piling on the rust.

    They are pretty solid but I wouldn't want to actually try and slide them across any serious rocks. (Playful, carefree rocks and I might take a chance.) ;)

    My bars are really there so my 4'11" wife has a step to get into my Jeep. I replaced them last spring so the ones in this (sadly neglected) thread have been updated. The new ones look like this:

    Look, just because some of us still eat paste doesn't mean we're eccentric. (Not that eccentric, anyway...) :D

    ^ That is a significant amount of work done. Go ahead and give yourself a pat on the back - you deserve it! :)

    What did you do to your jeep today?

    When people ask me where I like to go off-roading I tell them "Downtown Cleveland".

    Asking those who have done their own paint job at home

    Do you have a good sprayer? (Or what do you plan to use to apply the paint?)
