I do like pinstriping! Nothing says "I OFF-ROAD" quite like some fucked up paint!! :CWL::handsinair:
I'm sure you can find some rough branches to slide down the sides of yours to give the appearance of not being a poser ;)

I'm guessing few Jeeps in Texas have those marks?

I mean I'm sure if you don't give a shit about your paint like I don't, then yeah probably lots of people have them.

Everyone I know likes to keep their paint pristine for whatever reason. 🤷‍♂️

I got some nice pinstripes on the passenger side of my Wrangler on my second trip to the off-road park. So I mean if you're looking for tight trails, I know a few! Go find you an ATV trail, drive your Jeep down that!

I think they're definitely pinstriping locations available here in Texas, like I said though I don't think many people want to get them though. I don't get it myself, I mean if it looks like a fun drive, I'm going down it!
Hell, I took my rig immediately from AEV in Michigan to Missouri and scratched the fuck out of it on day three. Just get it out of the way so it's no longer a concern.

And yeah, sometimes you end up on an ATV-only trail without realizing it. It happens!

So, it's normally a $40 @CavFab_mfg Hawse Fairlead Winch Mounting Plate Ultra, except this one was a display model, which brings it down to $20, and to add the icing on the cake, they had it powder coated in silver, for the same $20 because it was their display model.

If I were to get one of these powder coated, it would cost me about $80. So where I live, this is a $120 (total) winch mountain plate, for $20!

I'm honestly shocked it wasn't gone the second they listed it! I guess people like spending unnecessary amounts of money for something of equal quality they could get for less. 🤷‍♂️

@Tredsdert and I texted earlier in the week; most of the regulars I know are generally here in this thread, so I thought I’d shit on his thread and share a few pics of of my new to me beater while the 392 F8 Green Challenger stays in the garage this winter.

It’s a 2006 WK Limited 5.7L HEMI with about a 2.0” Old Man Emu lift. It’s currently sporting some 2017 Wrangler JK Sahara wheels and stock P255/70R18’s.

It’s a work in progress, has a few faults, but I’m knocking them out fairly fast! It has 150,330 miles on it, drivetrain seems great.

Got the plates and the grates in.

Got to run to the hardware store and pick up some larger washers for the grate.

Then I'll take the plate off and paint it, and tighten down the bolts on the grate, later tonight I'll reinstall the plate and I'll be done with this section of the Jeep! 😎 😁

Final result photos will be next!
The mesh actually has an interesting look, it's enough to keep the zombies out anyways. 🧟

Bad zombies, bad!

It would sound cooler if you called it "MOLLE Lite"...

Tredsdert……have you by chance raised the hood back and verified clearance of the switch to the windshield?

I’m thinking it’s gonna make contact….

Screw that. He'll chisel a chunk of glass out of the windshield so it fits perfectly!
