    Baja Designs Cover Screws

    I really like the BD lights. I have the OnX6 in the lower center grill and just got the S2 for reverse lights. Only thing I did not love was all the silver screws in the face of the lights. So I had a bunch of Traxxas screws and tried some black button caps to see what I thought about the...

    Window pillars scratched. Help!

    I polished and then XPEL'd them and looks good and stays looking good. If too scratched then wrap them.

    Installed Ford Performance Diff Cover

    Installed Ford Performance Diff Cover

    Pretty straightforward. But unlike some of the posted videos (e.g. CJ Pony), using the lower hole to fill is about 3.5 quarts so had to run down and buy a forth to finish up. Also, you will have to reuse one of the hanger bolts off the org diff case for a brake line bracket near the top...

    Good option to start for up/down, but when I first installed my spots and eyeballed the alignment it turned out both pointed left of the headlights. It was odd looking. :ROFLJest:
