I have my UCF aluminum front bumper coming in next week. I’m also debating leaving it unpainted or painting it black. It also would be the only unpainted visible aluminum part other than my skids underneathCleaned with thinner, then mineral spirits, sanded lightly, then 3 coats of Rustoleum rattle can self etching primer.
Have to give credit to @Irun. I'd never painted aluminum before, and while researching bumpers, I noticed he'd installed the same one, so got some tips from him.
I like that front bumper and may eventuality get it. If I'd have gotten them together, I'd probably leave them bare, especially if I had aluminum skids.
The leather is maybe 1/8” thick (but feels durable). The newly covered steering wheel is certainly thinner than the OEM wheel on the e46 M3 I had 10+ years ago.
Those are the same wheels I have & I love them! Our TJs look almost like twins except for my half doors & convertible top. I even powder coated my fuel fill door black.
“There are no strong beers, only weak men.”Oil and filter change no metallic flakes or glitter, cleanest looking & colour oil I have ever changed, must be the synthetic filter? well it would want to be given the price compared to a standard filter or maybe the Magnatec?
Oil Colour was a deep amber so I had to go buy a case of "Tui" my favourite New Zealand beer about the same colour as the oil that came out, I had to keep my tongue from licking at that amber stuff as I was laying on my back on the hot asphalt in 35c tempI did notice though laying on my back there looking around for trouble that the inside of my metric Wildpeaks show OD: and OW: in inches.
That's looks great. Far better than most I see. Got a link to the amazon item?
