I don't bother with it. I half-assed my wheel wells and sprayed under real quick, but I'll chip off the dirt when the tie rod gets here. $10 in quarters, but I sprayed 'clearcoat protector' over it because, well...why not?

Theres your problem lol. The Navy and the Marine Corps. We have the USMC JRTOC at my High School, and it's a tough battalion man. Especially since out 1st. Sgt. is ex-DI over in San Diego. But, I usually run outta quarters lol. But anyways, thanks for your service to this great country.

Thanks, man. The Marines at the gate were cool. The three guys working were the three guys I talk Jeeps with cause they drive TJs. They were jealous cause they didn't get to go. An Army E-6 was giving me hell about it cause it 'looks bad on the unit.' "Your headlights are covered in mud, you can't even see out your windows, and it looks unprofessional!" "Uhh..I drove here before sunset, and I'm leaving after sunrise. I can see out all my windows just fine. It's called a hobby. And if you want a reason why it's unsafe, go find my passenger side mirror."

I was up at Quantico in the FBINA Base there for a leadership program. When my old man flew up to get me, he took me to main side to see what a real MC base is. When we pulled up to the MC sentry, I had no idea how we were going to get in. Rolled down the window,"Oh hey, I'm a retired marine sgt. and was just wondering if I could show my son around Main Side?" Sentry was real cool and like didn't even check ID. I was always under the impression you can only be on a base with like permission but apparently not.

I just came in from painting my last black coats and just got the clear coat next. A lil mad I starting painting the header while it was lying down and I'm gonna have marks from that and unless I fully stripped it I can't get rid of em. Im standing it up now to do the final coats. Looks decent for a first time and I proud.
