Nice Jeep Man. I know it's old news now but that really is too funny how many trucks got stuck!

How did you black out the turn signal lenses? Did you buy those or paint them somehow?

Looks good keep up the good work. I'm in Florida but my wifes family is all from around Lethbridge. We went up there a couple of summers ago. I bet there's a lot of open land up there for trail riding.

Haha thanks dude ! I blacked out my signals with VHT Nightshade. I found it at my local hardware store, you can get it in a rattle can, its great stuff.
Yeah man, there's plenty of land for trails and whatnot. We have plenty of lakes, rivers, forests, fields and mountains. It doesn't get much better IMO.

Cool. So do you spray it on the inside or the outside? And do the tun signals still show up good at night? I'm just thinking that almost sounds too good to be true. A paint that's a lot cheaper than replacing the actual lenses and still looks/works good. They do look cool on the computer screen for sure

I thought the same thing. But it works really well ! You just spray I on the outside of the lens, the more coats you apply, the darker they look. I wouldn't suggest putting more than two coats on because it'll latterly black out you lights and you won't be able to see them. I put 2 coats on mine and the light still shows through no problem. I've been running with the blacked out lights for just over a month now and haven't been pulled over by the cops. Just goes to show that all light still shines through the lens. Hope this was helpful !

Well I guess this would be the reason it sounds like there's squirrels partying under my jeep and mad vibes lol the U Joint was basically blown apart.
