I cut the little plastic crap that covers gap between bumper and fend. Still need to sand it down. Ended up using Dremel tool to cut it out.

Not a big deal and not all done today, but figured I’d throw this out there to give people an idea of what removing or plastidipping the emblems looks like. This photo goes from stock, to clean, to plastidip and I personally believe clean and dipped looks best!

I’ve been dying to see what I can do with that emblem that’s shiny silver. Wanted it black and wondered if they sold a kit in black plus I also like the clean look. I just didn’t know. Now I know. Question to you is. How do you remove and were do you get these plastic dipped? Is there a kit I can get and do it?

I'm a full-width bumper guy, but I'm liking that stubby/bull bar combo, my friend. From the angle shown, it appears to blend in with the curvature of the side of the grille on driver side.

Can only assume they painted it on the vehicle. Not difficult with plastidip. Once complete and before tape removal go around the emblem with an exact knife.
Do NOT use a knife, you'll scratch your paint. Simply wait for it to dry and then peel off the tape and the excess plastidip around the emblem will come with it.
Just make sure you leave ~1in gap between the emblem and the tape so there's enough to pull on when you peel off.

Less than 90 seconds. Same for airing up. The twin air compressor makes that possible. The single that ARB makes would work up to 35" tires but it would do it more slowly.
I'm really interested in this but I'd like to see it in action. Only thing that's bugging me is I have to lift the hood to air up or down. How much did you pay for the system? I already have the twin ARB mounted under the hood.

You can do it yourself while on the vehicle. If you YouTube “plastidip Jeep” you will see how easy it is. You can buy it anywhere.
