well according to a few friends i've become the gravel guard junkie... this stuff is cheap and great to use so here's another rock guard project from this past week. it took about 2 hours including the masking. i coated the kick panels and seat belt cover panels and the rockers and center of door jamb. i like the look. it didn't cost much, some masking paper and tape and a can of rock guard. i have a bad habit of dragging my heel across my door jamb and cause scratches so i took care of it... enjoy

I did the zip ties on the tie downs awhile ago. Might have helped but still had some flutter. Removing the spring worked so much better IMO. I didn't like seeing the ties either. Tested it last night. 80mph and solid.
No one posted a pic of the "Dimple" mod. I did that 2 hours after buying my Jeep. Actually has bothered me ever since but now that it is a "mod". I like it!
A couple more pics of the Puck prep. Forgot to mention, use only pucks from Canada or Czechoslovakia. They use a higher grade of rubber for production.
Cheers.

and yeah, I did the door ding dimple mod ( one of my first mods too.)
I know this wasn't free ....but it was stuff I allready had in the shop.

One call to McMaster Carr... Two male heim joints, two female with rods, two lock nuts and the bail clasp... I have this parts list from when I was going to do it. Also have the part numbers for the same pieces in black HD nylon to match the OE stuff.. I'll email it to you
