Thanks for the heads up. I have a fiberglass tub, so my thought was to do the rear corners, rocker knockers and front fenders to complete the package and protect the tub. I know I am going to have to be creative for the rockers because I have some custom body mounts to work around.
What did you do with your Scrambler today? June 2014 version

Drove it to work today and started hearing something other than an exhaust leak. Got it home and I either have a dead lifter or rocker that has backed off. Hoping it is not a wiped lobe on the cam.... I mean, come on, the motor just hit 10,500 miles.... Isn't that still under the original warranty? 
My son keeps reminding me of the old 350 out of my Chevelle that needs a refresh. 
. Will have to set aside some time to tinker and see.

It was time to replace my intake and exhaust gasket and replace my exhaust manifold because it had a crack in it. So, I figured while I was in there I would pull all the brackets and pulleys along the way and clean and paint them.
Picture of brackets off the front driver side of the engine.
I have 2 questions. One, how do you get the pulley off the power steering pump. And two, should I use flat, semi-gloss or gloss paint? Pros and cons?
Thanks.

Finally got my chrome 15x8s, which were in not so goo shape, powdercoated "chrome"! Like everyone said, it's not a true chrome but I am very happy with the results! Mounted 32x11.50 BFGs. Going to get a 2.5 inch lift tomorrow. Hopefully get the lift and tires on soon!

Don't use Chrome polish on them! I learned that on motorcycle parts. Treat it as powder coat not chrome, regardless of how they look. The chrome polish will darken it up and make for a general crappy appearance. I'd show you the motorcycle part, but it's more oil and dirt than powder coat. No rust tho!

Haha. Grounds. That makes me laugh Jim.
Remember my fenders are glass!
I hate dealing with grounds in my Jeep.

Well, I knew your tub was glass, but I didn't know the fenders were too
How is that solenoid grounded?

Shoot. I would have to look at it. There are a lot of wires on it. I was trying to see if one went to the frame or some good ground this morning, but nothing jumped out at me. Is the ground one of the small posts at the top, because no extra ground wires are attached to the metal housing anywhere. But it always did work and worked again this morning so I am assuming it is grounded somewhere.

Congrats. If you are close enough to the VA border (Hampton Roads area), check out Eddie's work at Ground Pounder Fab. Great sturdy stuff.

I am about 5 hrs one way from Eddie. I did reach out to him on pricing. A bumper from him is definitely in the running right now.
