I have wondered why it is black, and they didn't just make it green. I imagine I have to take the entire grill and headlights and everything off to get them out?
Yeah, but it's fairly easy. Much better than the dash. :LOL:

Its my general vision I'm more concerned about now as I slowly descend mr magoo's staircase...
I hear ya. 20 years hovering over a microscope has taken its toll. I've built some tiny-ass circuit boards - one so small we couldn't find it on the floor after someone dropped it :facepalm:

Just the Grille. The surrounds will come off in three pieces. In theory you could just get OEM replacements, but I'm not sure if they'll sell individual pieces like that.

This is a process I'm going to have to redo soon. I need to do more and thicker coats.

I’m fairly sure replacement pieces aren’t painted either.

Low on the priority list...

I've got oil and diff fluid to change, A salvaged steering stabilizer and sway bar with manual disconnector to install as well.

Plus... if I spend all day working on the Jeep on my Wife's birthday (tomorrow) that won't go over too well for me...

Update on Dad...He went home yesterday. Don't have an appointment scheduled for his oncologist but at least we got a referral to the one closer to his home. The road ahead will be a bumpy one...and he may have to go into 4-low to traverse some of the obstacles, but he knows how to off-road, so he should be fine. LOL He used to have a late-70s Land Rover that he would try to get stuck (he succeeded a few time) in the Panama Jungle.

I will be calling him tonight to see how he is doing.

Manual disconnector? Didn't find a way to use the Rubicon auto-disconnect? What stabilizer are you using? I ended up using the stock one when MetalCloak's seemed to add to my pull to the passenger side. :dunno:
