Default Poison Spyder Body Armor!

Came home today and was happy to see my JKU body armor from PSC arrived! I had them powdercoated and I think they look great! Can hardly wait until Saturday to install them!

Sweet. Those look great. I hope you post some pictures of your install process. As well as some before and after shots.

I installed them a couple months back...take your time with the nutserts, if you feel any resistance, don't force the bolt, you will spin the nutsert in a flash.

My most important tip would be make sure there are no children around because you will shout very obscene things due to said nutserts!

Even with the pain of the install, I love them.

Thanks for the tip! No small children... check.

I'm considering going to hardware store for a nutsert impact tool, as opposed to just using the little tool provided in the hardware kit. I can't imagine using a socket and wrench will have the "finesse" necessary to keep things flush.

Yea I tried installing one nutsert with the tool provided in a scrap piece of metal, was very awkward, so I bought a tool for it.

I just installed them. With all the bad things I heard about that nutsert tool, I went ahead and bought an actual nutsert tool and it was a breeze installing them. You will be impressed with the outcome once it's done.
