[QUOTE="Qaddiction, post: 453697, member: 18430"] Hope everyone had a happy Thanksgiving. The couple extra days off work was appreciated. I got to spend time with family, friends, and squeezed in some time to work on the Jeep a little. The weather was warm enough that I decided to get a few things painted. I painted all 4 Nemesis crawler fender flares, the VKS rear bumper, and the coil over springs that came with my lift. I'll be honest, I felt kind of bad for painting the King coils red....

It started out simple enough. Removed the spare tire, the tire carrier, and the stock bumper. Then it started to get more interesting.
