I have the same setup/problem. I talked to a guy at a stereo shop, there is a device called in-line preamp or something like that. Its like 30 bucks and seems like a simple install. I'm probably gonna try it.
The biggest problem I had with this install was how/where to mount the electrical. With the stock rear skid plate, mounting it on the bottom of the bumper was not an option. After much cussing, banging my head on the side of the truck and a couple b…
I like it!!!
I'll put one vote in for the icon set up. I'm still at stage 1 (stock UCAs) and I'm really happy with it. In addition to great offroad performance, it rides well on road (the wife doesn't complain, so it must be good!). Looking to upgrade to after m…
Welcome Mark...glad you joined the site. I look forward to running some trails with ya.
X2 what Bozly said. I'd love to see what you guys do over there when your not working. We really appreciate you guys!
I agree with suecyde. I think to be army green it would need to be a matte finish. But its still cool. I like it. Can't wait to see one out on the trail.

I start with washing the parts to be pained with dish soap and water to strip off wax and oil before sanding. lightly scuff the part with a green scotchbrite pad, if it is on the vehicle, put blue painters tape on any sensitive areas around the part.
Now it is time to mask around the part to be painted, and afterward, wiping the part to be painted down with alcohol. If the part is plastic, I will use an adhesion promoter for my first light coat (spray can). 15 min later add your first color coat, in 30 min your second. You could add a third color coat if the coverage is thin. If it looks good and the part looks done let it sit overnight to dry. Once the part has dried, give it a light wipe down to remove any dust. Now you are ready for the final coat of clear. I use mat clear so the end result is a soft semi-gloss, not too shiny. Two coats of clear and you are done. This paint will last for a looong time, even with heavy brush.
