First mod complete. Windows tinted. lol
This'll take me further off-road than anything else.

That's because no one will be able to see who's driving and give you shit if you get stuck 😁

Here are some pics of underbody before cleanup and respray. The exhaust section being the worst.

Car cleaned up underneath and re-sprayed. Looks brand new. Happy. Also windows got windows tinted.

PS. Got a very annoying rattle, when taking off from first and then going into 2nd gear and sometimes in higher gears when RPM gets really low. Looked under tried to see whats loose and cannot pin point it... Not a biggie, just an annoyance.

I'm not a huge fan of white cars, but sh!t they look good with black windows.

I have the exact rattle mate, thinking it just the exhaust system, will be getting it replaced on Thursday so I will let you know the results

Yeh it's pretty dry already the chassis paint they used. No rain till tomorrow so hope it holds up.

That is what I'm thinking too... Mine is getting replaced this or next week so will find out then. Mine mostly begins to rattle, as described above, when engine is up to full temperature.

Hmmm didn't know 4.2 was famous for a common rattle... I'll try and pin point the rpm tomorrow when rattle is worst/loudest.
