Have a second set of hands to help out as the thing is big and awkward sized. Also instructions tell you to discard the plastic splash shields but I did not like how open it left the wheel well areas so I just trimmed the bottom of them and reinstalled them.

Just make sure to use high temp engine or BBQ paint.

I am in the east bay out of Newark CA But I spent a lot of time in the south bay.

Hmm no idea, anodized would be cool but very expensive for something this big.

Wooden platform with a 3 inch high density foam mattress from Foam Factory. Cheap, comfy and great for windy desert camping.

Installed some armor on the car. Engine and transmission primitive racing skid plates, hopefully will have the time this weekend to install the rear diff skid plate. Sent from my SM-G935T using OB Talk mobile app
