Upcoming work party

 We are purchasing the EVO tire carrier with corner rock skins, and the led taillights!! clap

Ashlee will be flying home sept 8-14 so that will give me time to get the install done. I will definitely need help if anybody is willing to help out. I will also need an Astro Pneumatic 1442 nutsert tool. If anyone has one and doesn't mind letting me borrow it I would really appreciate it. I'll look into buying one as well but don't know when I would use it again. Like I said anytime between the 8th and 14th I'll be able to do it so you guys start throwing out some dates and we'll finalize it at the club meeting on the 8th. thumbs-up

Nice Travis!!  I'd love to come help you put some holes into the jeep.

Are you planning to powder coat the corners?

Um...what?

I don't think so, I think I'm just gonna prime and bedline them. That way they can be easily touched up if they get scratched. I did the same on my front bumper.

You dont need the tool to install nutserts though it may be easier with sizes smaller than about 1/4".  You just need a bolt about an inch and a half long is the same thread as the nutsert, and external lock washer, and a nut 1 or two sizes bigger than the nutsert.  

This video shows how to use it: feature=youtu.be&t=12

John and I have done this approach. It is a lot of work if you have 20 or more nutserts.

I've had Poison Spyder rocker guards sitting in my garage for a year now. I'm avoiding dealing with the 40 some odd nutzerts that they require. They might just sit in my garage for another year before I'm over the trauma of my Poison Spyder fenders. Lol
