Nothing special. Footholds and paint are done. Still need to turff and mount a bilge pump.

Rev footholds

Paint... My buddy runs a body shop so we were able to paint it in a booth. He's an office boy not a painter but I think he did a pretty good job.

Re painted the hood and started turf. My first turf job. Wraping it into the foot holds for my first try was tough.

 

[jeepNski]

[JHD]

Bah! A build is a build, and you should be proud of your very own build.
Very nice paint.

Your paint looks Great! Really like the color scheme! Know where your coming from on your build, the SX's kinda get over shadowed and zero respect in the build section.

I never stop getting from the guys I ride with bc I spend money on my kawi and not a sj. Hopefully I can prove them wrong before its all over!

Thanks guys

I was pretty happy with my first side of truf and expected my second side to be better... It wasn't. I've got a little void in the top of the hold. It squishes air out right at a seam about 3" away. I'm going to seal the joints but I can see this holding water. I considered re-doing it but I've already burnt through one sheet due to a mistake on the right.

Air pocket under the turf? If its got adhesive on it, just pop it and work it smooth. If you missed a spot with the glue just make a slit and get some adhesive under it and stick it.

Thanks, I didn't even think about trying to get more adhesive in there. I had a lot harder time trying to get it cut and shaped right this time. I think I also tried to stick it on before the glue was ready letting everything slip around just enough to give me problems. I did this Monday night. Checked it Tuesday moring and tried to work it a little more. The air pocket came out and is holding so far so I think I am probably good. No more pictures until I'm done and can hide my bad seams....

Ski looks great. I like the revised hood paint a lot. Keep up the good work.

 

[FearMyWrX]

I think it looks really good! You sure had to cut out a lot for those footholds wow. Looks like you did everything in a professional way. I like the second hood paint better than the first aswell

 

[shanes]
