The Bikini color would be a tough one for AJT.... especially, as Adam at AJT seems to be very fussy in regard to color.... in getting them close.. he'd play heck, trying to get a reasonable match for that metallic color(s).
I decided Kenny was right and my gray foot pads didn't look right. They were also just the generic Jeep grille. So I decided to make new ones with a JL grille and paint them black. It does look better.
I sent an email into Borla Monday, still waiting for a response. My Borla Climber melted my the trunk storage box and my trailer wires (just the plastic loom). The trailer wires were an easy fix since I could just run them higher but I think that Borla should provide some heat shielding for the storage box. It melted right by a hanger so there is no adjustment that can be made. I'm pretty sure it melted as I was going over some steep mountain passes towing a small trailer on my way to Wyoming. I could smell it and I thought it was the oil getting too hot since all my other temps were fine. I smelt it twice, both times the oil temp was at 245 degrees. After some Googling I know now that 245 degrees isn't that hot for engine oil. There might have been instructions about the towing wire harness, but I installed that after the exhaust and it seemed to be plenty far away. I puts some reflective tape on the box to protect until Borla gets back to me assuming that they do. It could have caused a fire so I would think they would want to address it. I should be an easy fix if they added some heat shielding. You might want to be proactive and address it now. Other than that, I like the sound and I too noticed that weight saving. I'm trying to be weight conscious, at least for the Jeep.Borla climber touring installed. 17 pounds lighter than stock. It’s very quiet, hopefully it gets louder after some miles
Overpriced lift/tires plus dealer markup...amazing. I guess there might be a sucker out there....
I thought that I had enough clearance too and I've had the exhaust on since at least mid-June with no issues, but I pushed the Jeep hard on that trip. Most of the trip it was over 95 degrees outside and although the trailer only weighed about 1700#s, it did create some wind resistance. Obviously it didn't melt it that bad. I'm thinking about wrapping the pipe in that area with that exhaust wrap that you see on motorcycle pipes but I don't know much about that stuff.Looks like I have enough clearance plus I don’t have the tow package wiring so I’m good there.
OK what are you using to clean your tires? I have had my STT Pros for only a couple of months and they now look more brown in color than black. I have scrubbed them with Mcguires tire cleaner and bleach white but they still come out brown. Also, what is the matt protectant that your using? I have never been one for Armor All.Amp research steps
That is a great looking sled., and as a wannabe detailer, that was impressively done....
