Your friend didn’t paint the bare metal before he installed the nutcerts! That’s a No No. A year from now that will be a step he missed you will regret. Little hint for you. Paint the holes and put some marine sealer / adhesive on the nutsert before you install them. When you set the nutsert it will seal it and bond it in place so you reduce the risk of rust and spinning the nutsert in the future. Also a little sealer behind the panels will keep you from collecting dirt and water and paint the screws!

After installing the ACE Hammertown rear bumper, this is exactly what I was looking for - thanks!

That was pretty cool! Good luck on stopping smoking Michael, I stopped February 11,2018 almost one year now! 100% COLD TURKEY! BEST Of Luck!!

My Lite Brite T-shirt just arrived and it looks and feels great. Love your channel!

Definitely one of my next mods! Thank you for posting the link to everything! Excellent, entertaining video as usual! Two thumbs up!!

Great video of install. Awesome help from Michael. Kevin being Kevin 😀. Brittany always good seeing you get in there and dirty with the installs. To bad Jelly didn't come out. Can't wait to see the video with what Kevin was working on (top secret for now). You 2 are awesome. Safe travels

Love you guys.!,! Your cannel is awesome. BTW, I showed my son your "do as I say, not as I do" snow wheeling video, and his response was those are the tires I need for snow confidence. Thank you.!,!. We live in Medford, OR.....think Tucker Snow Cat, ;-) I am pitching the Milestar Patagonia to him this very morning (well actually yesterday morning to be correct now) to be the tires he uses to replace his current tires. Thank you again for your work. Thank you for making sure your ueres know about "knut zirk tools" amazon style. You will not regret. Kevin, Center Punch YES.!!!!! Preach it brother. You all do well.......keep it up.

That turned out fantastic. It was definitely needed and justified given the fact that it's such an awesome JL.

Nutserts without a punch? Y'all are wild and crazy. I love it.

I like to see that nice Jeep Rubicon in a great condition again. Well done.

Cant wait for the upcoming trips with Mike! Great install vid too!

OMG NutCerts!!!! I need those for a Jeep project! I seriously learn so much from u guys!

"Hiding Damage"... this is how I make it through everyday life, love to see it applied to a Jeep ^_^

That looks so freaking clean! Nice job! And the protection! Holy Moly that is sick! I'm still waiting on my Gladiator or " Gladheateher" to come out. Lol!! Keep the videos coming and love you!

Thank you so much for keeping it simple and not having an annoying 30 second intro with annoying music like every other wanna be JEEP youtuber, your content is original and to the point 👍🏻👍🏻 keep the videos coming!

Great job! Love you guys!!

King of the Hammers 2019 . . . on your list to attend?? You won't be disappointed, it is insane!

You guys are truly nuts, but so enjoyable to watch. Watching ya'll putting your jeep through some serious torture is what Jeeps are made for. Thanks for making the vids guys keep it up!

Look's tight !! Loving That Rear END !! Two Thumb's Up Team !! love that Rig ! its a BEAST !!!!

That looks really nice. Job well done.

Look really nice and seems a sturdy thick plate, with an easy install even if you're on your own; all great to me and... i haven't seen so many double meanings since the Late Late Show with Craig Ferguson.

Love it. Probably what I'll be putting on mine.

looks like a good product! When you remove the armor, place a bead of silicone sealant about 1/4 of the way down. Set the armor into the sealant to prevent water from traveling down between the armor and the jeep where it can pool at he 90 degree bend at the bottom.

you guys are a hoot to watch, come visit the northwest in your future travels!

I like. Very nice. And excited to hear you have a road-trippin’ partner. Makes all the difference.

Great job on the install!

I like the look and great protection.

should use blue locktite to help the bolts from backing out from vibration

Thanks for the product install review, I have reached out to Rusty's to find out if this fits the JK as well. One thing I would recommend anytime you install a part with nutserts. They leave a small gap between the parts which is good as no moisture can build up and start corrosion but you pack a bunch of mud or dirt in there and now it's a moisture trap. So prior to final install coat the body with a heavy application of paste wax and don't buff it off, then periodically remove those parts and clean out the crap and re wax. I also spray a good penetrating / lubricant into the nutserts and the cavities behind to fend of corrosion internally, a little on the threads also helps prevent the screws from seizing in the insert. If you ever get one that spins in the drilled hole they are a bugger to remove.

I would have added some paint to the drilled holes to keep rust down. Rusty's Rear Fascia is probably a good name unless its aluminum.

Great video guys! As always excellent tutorial. Now your rear end is ready for some more action...Doh... (nutsert)

I could use this on my jk! Great video as always!

💥💯🙌 great vid!

Awesome job

Oh Boy, Something new to destroy on the rocks, can't wait to see that video...

Great video, thank you!

Oh cool. I actually ordered this on Saturday haha.

Transfer punch set is great also!

Love how Kev keeps trying to get a word in edgewise...every video!

Why can't black bolts be provided?? Would look so much cleaner.

Looks nice. Might I suggest painting all exposed hardware the same red? Great contrast to the black armor. Also, I have the same nutcert tool. Used on my rockers,fenders and molle panel for the tailgate. Works great. Another tip: use black adhesive on the nutcerts, protects the exposed paint and anti-sieze on the bolts. SS tends to gall, making a lot of unpleasantness.

Rocking install.

Looks like a good job.

u guys r so funny love 2 watch your video keep it up

Kevin et al. Great video guys, traveling to N. California anytime soon? Let me know would like to get out there with you. Thanks

Love watching you guys we need to go jeepin sometime.

You should have repaired the damage before installing or at the very least repaired the area with paint damage. This will all rust underneath that new hardware.

I like those quarter panel protectors a lot. If I had a JL I'd be ordering them now. As it is I will just be ordering the nutsert tool. I could use that on my inner fender flares. There are a few areas where getting a nut on the back is difficult. Edit: Just noticed Rusty's also sells a JK kit. I'll look at my setup and see if I think I need it.

Love your channel! Just curious... If you didn't have the damage on the tub/quarter panel, would you still choose the rear facia and a straight bumper for protection, or a full bumper that wraps around to the rear wheel well?

Good looking mod!

The nutcert tool and hardware is cool 🇨🇦

Regarding your new windshield: Some of the paint protection film (PPF) companies, such as Expel, make film that can be installed on windshields. You can see an example on a Jay Leno’s garage episode from when he got his McLaren P1 several years ago.

Getting better with the video editing!

Nice Video but those nuts need to be black to match and what steps would you need to take to keep any further damage or rest to occur behind the Rusty's Fascia is the black paint you put there enough?

Looks good

nice improvement

Me and 25+ jeeps/toyotas are coming to Ouray from kansas for a week in mid july to wheel. Any tips for some trails that i must do to complete my Colorado experiance? Going to be in a jeep TJ with 4" lift and 35's and lockers.

How long does this take to install shop was quoting quite a high price to install

They should come factory with those.. lol. It not only protects, but it also looks great.

Makes me wanna get rid of my wk2 and get a JL just so I can hang out with y’all lol

Fun peeps too watch have fun times for sure keep the fun coming have more fun😀this is the rock emoji dude for luck😝😁the chanenges too come☺

Bustin Beastie Boys lines!!

Another good vid... ! Aloha from hawaii you two

There are many comments already about paint, rust, and dirt. I won't repeat them. But, I am curious, how long you two foresee owning this Jeep.

Nice setup looks like your exhaust systems took a few hits as well the JL and the Jk should have come up with a better setup thanks for the video

Spare wheel carrier update🤔🤔🤔keep the videos coming👍

Could you guys PLEASE, PLEASE, PRETTY PLEASE get a LITE BRITE FB (or GAB, Minds your choice) page going....I'm sure many of us would love to share pics of our rigs with you and other jeepole...You're always sharing yours and we get jealous...lol You guys are AWESOME!!!!

Shoot every time you guys mentioned Rusty's I thought of lightning McQueen! 😂🤣

Having a yard sale too? Great video!

My 2 cents, take them off and seal between both pieces of metal to minimize rust, and dirt collection 😁

Let’s play a game... every time Brittany says “nut-serts,” we all have to take a drink of our beer. Lol. Love the vids. Keep me coming.

What size tires are those on your Jeep ?

Way to go guys. Nothing better to get the satisfaction of doing the work you can and also do things you haven't to learn. Some things you let others do it but if they will allow you to help or watch to learn as well that's fantastic. . I raced and built many of my cars, from rebuilding motors, replacing nose clips, body, fiberglass repair and paint. I'm unable to do this due to my disability but I'm still a bonefied gear head. I totally enjoyed watching you guys have fun! Hahahahaha. Sexual innuendo... I'm still cracking up Kevin about your statement of having your wife get squirted on by the fella doing so ! Hahahahaha

Center punches are for newbs! LOL I like those I may look into getting some of those when I break down and trade off my JKU for the JLUR.

What soft top is Michael using on his Jeep?

Hope to meet you guys if you come they Vegas

Nice install Would have liked to see some protection for the metal....

Can you also get black bolts? The silver ones would stand out a bit too much for me

I’m just waiting for the video of Brit’s reaction when Kevin drives home with 40’s and ARB’s without you knowing.

An ounce of rust prevention would've been worth the pound of impending rust.... J/S. Good Luck! I cant wait to see this Jeep in 6 years.

Very cool accessory for sure but I'm not sure about how much more innuendo I can take haha, One minute there's complaints of too much then 12:13 😂🤣 Gotta love the Nutserts too, hve used them with great success for quite a few jobs on my 4 wheeler 😎👍🏼

That is so much better, my OCD would have killed me knowing it was damaged like that.

I hope they have something like that for the new gladiator

I was going to suggest wrapping the corners in 11 gauge steel after the video with you mom. I had a good laugh.

When are you posting Hacket Gulch vid up. That one of my fav places to camp. Across thw river.

Hey! Congrats on several items from this one! Michael traveling with you all, new install looks good, and it reinforced the exposed areas! Smash those things up now! I don't get the "Hey you should have painted" crap. Do they not watch your FN Channel and see what you do! LOL I know that if you knew to Tape and Punch, you knew to paint. They're talking about pinholes on a rig that already has more damage to the areas that are now protected, than those holes will cause in many years. Good luck, travel safe, off road hard and see you at KOH!

What’s the rear bumper brand?

Are you guys in Denver or Springs?

Gizmo, Poo Bear, that’s just a place between the metal for dirt and rust to develop, I guess unless u seal the edges with something. Diamond plating use to do the same thing...... take it off in a year or two and see. I could be wrong, ah f it it looks good....

I already forgot about it. Just leave it alone 🚘

Kev - I think your “PIC and Wheelin’ Buddy” is trying to become your Eskimo Brother.

Beastie Boys reference nice

That looks super nice, great job! maybe spray some WD40 in there to help with moisture based on the concerns noted below about corrosion due to not covering the bare metal.

I love jeep and u

You should paint your holes with Steel-it after drilling to prevent rust because moisture will get to the holes. And since it is covered up the paint won’t be an eye sore as long as you tape off what you don’t want to get paint on.

I'd like to see this jeep go riding in Daniel Boone Back Country By Way. It's in Slade,Kentucky spend a week in my backyard country. Lol

Off topic of this, but I wanted to get some cooper stt pro for my Tj. Did you guys like them please get back to me. thank you!

kevins right time for 40 inch tires!! also he need a bigger allowance.

Not using black bolts was a sin. Luv u guys anyway!
