Any old spray gun will work, ask the guy at the paint store if you arent sure. Same thing with a compressor, anything halfway decent, you only need to run like 40psi.

And...

I got everything on it, exterior is done. Gotta recarpet the inside now.

HOT DAMM! looks good! looks real good!

And yeah i have a DeVilbiss JGA 502. and i used a 13 gal 4 hp compressor. since it is a traditional gun and not a gravity feed HVLP gun the combo worked great! i ran 55 psi at the gun too. just wish i would have bought some bondo...

The interior is already black and gray and I bought some black carpet to put over the bedliner in the cargo area, the front and back seat im just putting floormats over the bedliner.

Well i've been working on my Jeep alot again, big surprise.

This should be the last big project on it, I bought a TNT Belly Skid and some progressive bumpstops, then I think im gonna buy some Bilstein 5150's for the front and some RE shox for the back, do my center frame stiffeners and call it done.


So yeah, been doing gears, got the back done and the pattern looks nice. Too bad I didn't get a picture of the 6 foot pipe I used as a breaker bar for the damn crush sleeve. Shaved my housing a bit too, the little lip on there hung me up too much.






Here it is all buttoned up.




My Jeep has no rear.




Asked a co-worker who owns Albany Spring to make me some AAL's, they are very nice, full length but not super stiff. I wanted the rear end to be stiffened up a bit cause it bottoms out if you do rough roads at more than like 35 or go around a sharp corner with people in the back. Next step might be me putting my front swaybar back on, still deciding.







So yeah, should have the front done by Wednesday, just took it out.

it may also be because of how the leaf packs are kinked too.... Mine did the same thing causing major issues!


but good job on the gears they have a great contact patch! hope you remembered the red locktite...


for great work
