One AEV rear diff skid. (With a few trail kisses and very nice oil splatter from the last dealership oil change when they filled the oil pan skid)

Went with the KC light clamp as a CB mount idea.
Trimming and fitting the A-pillar corner plastic, was a time consuming process but worth the effort (I think anyway)
And another weekends work is done..

C Gusset install and axle tube to diff housings welding.
Front axle tubes.
Rear axle tubes.
Used 44-30 wire for the tube welding. $80 for 2lbs, but no chance of cracking during shrinkage. Welded each tube in 4 sections allowing plenty of time to cool down in between.
Had to grind the inside of the AEV diff skid to get the perfect fit back.

So weather held out on Saturday, so installed the PSC hood louvers.
Ready for the install.
Template aligned and taped down, now to start drilling and cutting into fresh paint.
Cut outs made, and louvers held square with window stops. (No pictures of cutting as holding phone and angle grinder not an option) ..

Bolted down with some adjustments to stop the hood dimpling too much at the bolts
Fitted back on the Jeep.
Hood liner trimmed and put back. (Still in two minds on whether I will leave it in)
