Ya lol, some kung fu grip. The first nutsert I used in the tool worked but the threads stripped out of the tool itself where the adapter tip goes. So I returned it. I got a little sick to my stomach when I drilled those 42 holes in my jeep too for my psc skins plus I did all the nutserts by hand which was a pita too

Yeah staring at 21 holes on one side of the jeep made me queasy... but once you bolt the skins on the end result looks so awesome! I may do my corners like you've been doing, but it's not high on my "jeep list" lol

Ya its all worth it in the end. I'm doing my corners now because I'm going to the hammers next week and I would rather have these corners on now than later, cuz with my luck I would probably smash in one or both of the quarter panels at the hammers.

Default Rockers

I just ordered some Poison Spyder Brawler Rockers for my 4 door. My stock steps have seen some abuse lately, and I'm lucky that lasted me this far

Me and a buddy gave yeller a good once over due to a upcoming run in a couple weeks. Adjusted Parking brake, flipped bolts on my rear driver side sway bar link the right way(put on backwards during the install and hasn't hurt anything but I was there so what the hell), inspected the driveshafts and suspension joints, greased what could be, put small tack welds on the front ujoints and installed a 12 lightbar...good day.

Was sitting in the jeep in the parking lot at work... woman in a brand new Audi A7 parks along side me and slams her door open so hard against me it actually rocked the jeep.
I took one look at my ACE sliders (not even a scratch) and then looked at her door edge crumbled up like tin foil. I stood there for a second & just grinned at her "Try to be more careful next time"

Jeep - 1
Audi - 0
