Did you Plasti Dip it?

Got the rims and the emblems dipped today. Rotated the tires while I was at it. Pictures coming tomorrow if my poor sore back cooperates. Short verdict: Rims look good but I made one minor mistake which can be remedied with a quick touch-up. The emblems look great, though the front now says...

That’s the fanciest darn turkey baster I ever did see!

Few bits of gear to clean like my ARB Skydome tent, replace some lights and then gotta wrench on son in laws Grand Cherokee that is in limp mode.
One week to go before the East Coast trip.
Mazon Creek, here I come!

Tires are on! However, the guy didn’t pay attention to my sheet and installed the tires white letter out… Oh well. They will get swapped around when I go back for a balance and rotate.

They usually don't dismount and remount tires on the wheel for a rotation. I'd go back sooner rather than later. And just have them switch them now.

They’ll have to rebalance everything anyways, and I don’t have time to do it this week or next. I got the manager to write it out on my tire slip, so it should be good.

I figured out why my trailer lights don’t work properly (mostly). The yahoo who installed the T splice kit did not loom or tape the wires, and the insulation wore through over time. This must have shorted somewhere, because the right turn signal has always been too dim to see. So, I cut the adaptor out and spliced the wires in. In this current state, the brake lights will not work, but everything else works flawlessly. It’ll work until I’m able to get a new kit. It’ll do for dump runs down the road, but it’s gonna have to be fixed before I go any distance with it.

Best of luck ! You will sort it out with a proper harness. E-Trailer comes to mind as known quality.
Why would anyone want double mold & made in Mexico quality lol.

E-Trailer is where I got my wiring harness. It's still going strong after eight or nine years.

Got the new lights installed, sort of...
The Crime Day deal I got on some nice, much brighter NiLight six cell spots ( I have nothing bad to say about NiLight, contrary to other folks) replaced the smaller ones I had mounted as rock lights. Moved those to the back as work spots as I destroyed the other two on a low hanging tree branch cleaning up storm damage.
Screwed up somewhere on the rear work lights wiring. Too hot and smoky here to mess with it more today. Did rearrange things to better use my Roadhouse tarp and such.
Also adjusted my cross bars and roof rack after some much needed maintenance and repair.

I've had NiLight with some success. I'd rather mourn a cheap light set for five minutes than bust up a $150 name brand set and be ticked off the rest of my life.

Agreed, though my 42" bar and top front spots are Oz, and they are incredibly good. My work and rock lights were Scamazon flash deal no names- they worked, but weren't very bright to start. At the time it was what I could afford. As I have phased in NiLights things have gotten much brighter.
Glad to hear the Oz-USA lighting equipment is holding up and is nice and bright.

Every night flying insect for a 180 degree radius around a kilometer away is drawn to Bert's mobile light trap... Keeps those entomologists drowning in specimens! Just last night I was visited by an Emperor, Four Cecropia, and an exceedingly rare Luna moth. I made a 420nm filter for the 42" that really drags in the beetles too!Glad to hear the Oz-USA lighting equipment is holding up and is nice and bright.
Sometimes I even use 'em for night driving on the whitetail infested corn grid too. LOL

That’s always a treat when you see a Luna!

Greetings from Morengo, Indiana. Bert and I did five states in 10 hours today. About to lose signal and make camp for the night.
