and a little before and after of the lid side

**Gregski** · 04-20-2021, 03:51 PM

then I hit it with some red primer and allowed it to bake in the sun for a day or two, while my OCD got the best of me and I went to town on the 10 bolts of this Ten Bolt Rear End

I don't know exactly why, but when you called it a bowl I had a great idea. Well it is a great idea in my opinion.... maybe not the wife's. I could use an old diff cover for a sink in the camper I'm building.

both, a light coating of black RTV on the cover then the blue gasket then a light coat of black RTV on the punkin, I call it the OREO cookie solution, the RTV is just for stickability so the gasket don't slip around during mounting, and to fill tiny hairline scratches in the metal

crazy marketing right? ... jeep ppl will buy anything, so sell em more for a Jeep with the search term!

same 7" bulb goes in my 55 chevy and my '99 Wrangler, easy to keep spares
