Put a smiley after you say that Bub.
The dye was a great buy! Forgot about that. When was that big push, a few years ago? Anyway, I did no prep, just hosed it off, no rubbing alcohol, no dilution or spraying and so on. I used a cheap ole harbor freight foam brush and lathered it on. Looks the same today as it did then. I am sold on that stuff for life (because I will never need to buy it again)It has stood up to mud, pressure washing and trees. I can see a few spots where I pinstriped through the outer layer of plastic, need to touch that up at some point.
I bought two bottles and used a little over one bottle to do all of the cladding.
Thanks Tom,
that list is not even near all the upgrades, just the ones that may be of questionable quality, I have a ton of Indy4x stuff, ball joint spacers, snubbers, torsion bars, soon to be lower links, aussie locker (another great buy), greasable sway bar bushings, SFIFS and so on. Didn't feel that I needed to review those.
Oh, I forgot the roof basket. Don't remember the brand, but the curves follow the outline of the VX, I cut the cross bars in order to fit a 34" tire. Still holding up strong and looks great.
Here is a link to ones that look to be the same as I bought back then. They are not terribly bright, but MORE than enough for the license plate lights or as marker lights. No special wiring, just cut off the OEM plug, turn the lights on, connect them to figure out which is pos and neg. Or you could use a meter, but I was lazy and that way I knew they worked before wiring them up and installing them

Even with the front cover smashed in, they still work, they have been submerged, bashed glued, you name it. I think I lost one row of LEDs at some point though, I just checked and a few are out. No complaints for 8 bucks. I did order some light bars on here for the new bumper, those are the real deal
I will be adding some single bulb CREE LED lights in the wheel wells at some point, cool rock lights and not a hard project.
I predict future happiness for Americans if they can prevent the government from wasting the labors of the people under the pretense of taking care of them.

I added some pics to the list. I added the diff drop brackets as well![]()

Thanks, I'll look into them. Need to replace my license lights, bad.
