KRAKEN - 2 door Black Diamond "build"

[KRAKEN]

NO MORE ASS... installed a Auto Start Stop Eliminator. I got one from Amazon that installs on the driver side kick panel under the dash. No panel removal required. Only problem was getting my big ass in & out of the floor board. Times like these make one wish for a double jointed pet monkey. No sense in having your vehicle suddenly turn itself off... ridiculous. Having driven a few manual vehicles in my time, that feeling of a stall is unsettling... and no more pushing that damn button.

SIDE NOTE: The Seat Jackers are great. I always felt like I was not firmly in the drivers seat and felt loose especially when cornering. I was skeptical that 3/8 inch of rise would really do anything, but for me it is the ticket. I feel like I am planted in the seat much better and more comfortable.

Thank you!

Reworking my JCR Engine Cover. The cut out to access the dip stick was too small for my hand to comfortably get the dipstick in/out. A metal blade on the jigsaw will take care of that. I'm also going to repaint the engine cover with something a little more special before I reinstall it.

KRAKEN got branded. Finished enlarging the recessed cut in the JCR engine cover and painted the engine cover. All done with rattle can spray paint & mylar stencils which were cut by hand using an exacto knife.

I hope everyone is having a good Memorial Day. God bless our vets.

First time topless yesterday.

I have been using the Broncover each night since going topless and parking outside. Good protection from a stray thunderstorm or a napping barn cat or some other critter. High quality product. Has not seen rain yet, but I have no doubt it will handle anything. I am very impressed with the Broncover. Heavy material, good stitching, made in the USA. I've only put it on a couple of times and I can get the Bronco covered by myself in 4-5 minutes and then another 4-5 to attach the straps.

I had to "modify" my JCR cover on our Ranger too... The opening around the BOV was way too small for the upgrades I did to the truck...

I don't trust my co-workers to leave my top off of mine... We even have "security" cameras at work, that pick up movement, but apparently don't pick up fat people.

We both live in North Alabama, LOL!

...some fat people move too slow to be picked up on the motion sensors. Superpower I guess.

A guy at work threw trash on top of my Jeep and drew a "dust goober" on my door one day... They looked on the cameras and saw everything around my Jeep, but him. Found out a few days later who it was, so I told security they need to re-upgrade their cameras, since they're not picking up the short, fat people, LOL!

What needs to happen is, companies need to quit hiring these pansy HR people and co-workers can get their asses whopped for stuff like this! I've never done anything to anyone there and I'm 6'6" tall, most people don't mess with me, except for the short man syndrome folks...

I installed a Chinese sunshade I got on Amazon for forty bucks. While not real familiar with bimini/sunshades I thought I would try out this cheap one to see what they are all about. It is a typical black mesh/bungee attachment shade with gaps all around and a zipper to access the top latches. We shall see how it holds up... I will say this, this thing has the cheapest zipper available to man. I know it's made in China and not a big name brand, but hey, it was forty bucks.

Hardtop back on. Raining today. The cheap sunshade performed ok on the highway, similar to any bungee attached shade with gaps I would imagine. Quality over time may be lacking; only time will tell. I expect the zipper will be the weak point. The price point of some of the similar products is frankly mind boggling. I really like the JTop shades, but the velcro is my hesitation. I will be Plasti Dipping my roll bar soon.
