Had a chance to install one corner marker and did a final touch on my cut fenders.
I was able to keep my factory inners flares so for the light I just drilled a hole in the fender and touched it up to prevent rust🤞. I went with smoked markers.

And with a little finesse I was able to clean up my cuts to near perfect lines. I don't think I'll even put the trim on them.

It wasnt too bad to cut the flares. I used my thumb for gage right where the edge of the fender bends down. I went in like 1/4" on the flat part and made bunch of little marks. Then used a straight edge to get all straight lines. To get the curves I used the 'French curves' that I had laying in the garage for years now, finally got a chance to use them. I used the same one on all the curves and made couple marks on it and took few number to where I want my curves to start. All my curves lines came out even and perfect on all my flares. For the cuts I used a 'plastic cutting' dremel wheel, than file and sand paper.
Lol if you drop by I'll be more than happy to cut yours [emoji6].

Not really, I consulted with my ffl first. Rifles are perfectly legal, no hassle at al. It's a bit different with pistols though, those have to go through ffl dealer. When I purchased my pistol online it went through my dealer and there is a 3 day cool of period before I can get it. I also did my conceal carry, still waiting on that one though.

Thanks for posting in here [emoji108], am glad I was able to help out on your long arm question.

As far as the trade, we agreed that it was a fair trade, bumper was in great condition and the AR supposedly has less than 200 rounds through it, which I believe because I took it apart at the time of trade. It's super clean. Just that sight that's on it is around $400. The person I traded with works at a gun shop so I am sure this whole setup costed him a lot less than it would cost me if I wanted to do build it myself.
One of my favorite parts on this rifle is the ejection port cover when it flops open [emoji631] .....

Nothing really exciting. Finally changed my tcase fluid.
IMG_5144.jpg

Also noticed that one of my Trucklites is fogging up a little on the inside [emoji19], that's a first.
IMG_5143.jpg

Yesterday I had a chance to update firmware on my maestro module and Pioneer head unit. I have to do that every few moths or so when my radio begins to stay on after removing the key for the ignition. Sometimes it's annoying as hell.
I just feel so cool [emoji41] hooking up the laptop to my jeep lol
IMG_5131.jpg
IMG_5132.jpg
I also added a little shim I cut up form a piece of scrap oak I had lying in the garage. I wedged the shin between the head unit and the vent tubes behind the dash. It stopped the movement/rocking of the head unit, lol I don't know why I didn't do this a long time ago. No pic of that sorry.
Here's a shot of the clusterfak I have going on behind the radio [emoji854]
IMG_5135.jpg
There is a lot more wiring underneath all that.

And the most exciting item that just came in today. EVO Rockstars
IMG_5142.jpg
Now just need to find some time to put those in along with the extended brake lines....
