Painted mine last weekend...

I got tired of how much the door seals suck on the JL and decided to do what many Ford guys do. I ran surgical tubing between the areas where factory seal is soft and under any wind will not seal properly. Finally the door shuts firm and when you push on the seal from the inside, it does not let light and wind noise in.

What size did you use?

Now that I’ve had my lift on for a couple weeks, I want to flex it and check for any interference, cables extended too much, etc. Anyone have a checklist of what to do and where to look? I don’t want to miss anything critical.

The muffler can be done in an afternoon... I thought it made a great difference.

Here is my before and after from when I painted mine a couple months ago. Still holding up months later and definite improvement over the silver.

Finally did the lift, took a 5 day weekend at my pace, but she's together. 3" JKS lift, Fox 2.5s, and 37x12.50 Grabbers:

Love that JLR, great color combo too, well done sir! Is that your he-shed in the background?? Just heat and a kegerator??

@Roky is the flex king, maybe he'll chime in

I wish, just lawn tools unfortunately - though moving lawn/property tools out of the work shop might've left enough room to fit a kegerator....

How did you go about doing this?

I need that tan soft top in my life…

Not sure how he did it, but the muffler removal is simple, a couple hangers IIRC and that pipe clamp, took me about 15 mins when I removed mine to install my exhaust. A good 3 coats of BBQ paint or VHT high temp paint and you should be good to go!

I do not remove the muffler...

I use either steel wool or sand paper on the muffler and tailpipe... then I wipe it down with rubbing alcohol... yup, rubbing alcohol..... let it dry a few minutes and then spray paint. I do multiple light coats of paint.. High Heat BBQ spray paint..

I just use a new, unused, flat, USPS Priority Mail mailing boxes to limit where the spray goes when spraying. Just keep moving the box in front of me.... I'm real careful not to get over spray on the red shocks...

I do on a day when there is no breeze and I always place a drop cloth under the muffler so over spray does not get on the surface below.

I touch up the paint job on the muffler every few months..... as needed.

Installed the Goose Gear tailgate table. Very easy installation (didn't even need extra pair of hands to hold table during install). Table is very sturdy, no rattles. The bamboo cutting board slides out. The bamboo was very dry so it's gotten its first coat of mineral oil.

What he said.

Except I used an extra paper roll I had in the garage and taped off the areas I didn't want to hit with paint. I can never seem to control where spray paint goes so I wanted to extra protection just in case.
