Kool beans, Daddy-O! I'm always curious as to what you have up your sleeve. Keep the mods comin'!

[Triathlete]

Also did the rear skid plate thing to clean up my act "back there"

The rocks are just drooling :_drool: to get a piece of that!

My lights for my rack were just delivered! They look just like yours! Only smaller, and oval, and... ok they have light bulbs! They are just a little different than the ones I had on my first rack. The lights aren't mounted yet, just placed up there. I will remove the rack and mounts so I can finally paint them - it's only been a year and a half since I made them - I don't know why there is so much rust!

Lookin' good Zeus, are those Piaa's ? What you gonna use for primer/paint on the brackets ?

I figure I will use some left over POR-15 I have and then top coat that with something that looks aluminum. I don't think I can perfectly match the roof rails color... got any tips?

I'm not familiar with POR-15...is that a sunscreen?
I am really impressed with the finish that the Plasti-Kote Bumper Color gives.
I used it yesterday to paint the plastic surrounds on the "blinderz" (they were white). Not flat, not gloss...just right. For sure I'm using this stuff on my hood insert etc.
Thanks to Mark Miller, (pardon me if I got the name wrong) for introducing us all to this stuff !
As long as you have the rack off, might as well paint the roof rails etc. to match the brackets...just a thought.

Here's another tip, worth exactly what you paid, maybe less...

Re make the brackets out of aluminium.

Ya know, the more I look @ your pics, the more I think that those ARE just like mine...Piaa?(can't remember model #)
I've got a set of those lurking behind my cladding where the stock running lights used to reside.

Mmmmmm....not so much. I think I'll make time to remove nine 6mm bolts before I let that happen.
