Finally went down to Home Depot and picked up a gallon of Exterior Enamel (water based) and rolled it on. This is 4! more coats. Finally covered though!

Unfortunately, by going over the skid, it made the outside passenger bolts not line up. I like the 3 bolts supporting underneath. But will threw some smaller diameter through bolts in until I can remove the bumper and ream out the holes. (And then I'll replace my busted fuel line check-valve!

You can see how far of the holes really are.

I lubed up the bolts 2 weeks earlier, but the driver side front bolt on the rear suspension wouldn't budge. Tried jacking it up to relieve some pressure, but nothing.

Left the jack in place but didn't need to use the breaker, just a 12 handle to free it up. I LOVE KB 88

The Detours system has a left and right, so make sure you line them correctly.
