Installed a class III trailer hitch last night and wiring harness. Getting ready to pull a trailer this weekend on a camping trip with the kids. Good times!

Installed a used Rusty's transfer case skid and a engine skid. Must have been made for an older XJ. Had to modify the lower control arm bracket so the skid cross mount bracket would fit between them. Now I get a rattle from the exhaust touching an attaching bolt.

Yesterday I applied a heavy second coat of Duplicolor truck bed liner to the front & rear bumper mounting areas (along with my sway bar and tie-rods). <check pix in my photo album> I then sprayed Duplicolor rubberized underbody coating into areas that I couldn't reach with a brush, as well as the insides of my new front & rear bumpers. These inner areas rotted away on my old truck thanks to the mud & roadsalt-impregnated slush that was thrown up in there constantly over time; (of course it didn't help that I never washed it the entire 12 years that I owned it).

Today I plan to spray a layer of the "professional grade" underbody stuff (which has sound deadening properties) over the previous layers already in the tranny tunnel & wheel wells, to help knock down some of the road noise, then apply a final top coat of the roll/brush on bedliner gunk to everything... and my project to armor up the rust-prone hidden and under areas of my rig will be complete!
