What happens here

After the major body armor components are installed, a final tightening and adjustment of all fasteners is required. The video shows the use of straps to pull the front fender armor inward, allowing it to align better with the door jam, and then using a mallet to tap bolts into place, ensuring a tight and secure fit. This emphasizes that custom installations often require a little 'tweaking' and ingenuity. Once all components are securely fastened, the Jeep is ready for its new adventure.

Goal: Ensure all body armor components are securely attached and properly aligned.

Tools and materials

  • Impact Driver — Final tightening of fasteners

What they say

this here. We kind of tip it. There we go. There we go. Little tweaking here and there. Like the same as the back. Same as the back. Yeah. Okay. So, you did have to tweak that. Yep. And it's all I mean, this is all plate steel welded together, so it's going to warp a little bit. So, it's just making everything fit nicely. What do you need the strap for? So, you know, in the back where we sucked the rears together. Yeah. So, we're do the same thing in the front. We're just going to suck where it hits the body together so it lines up in the door jamb. Now, do you think this is because the Jeep was hit or just normal tweaking? And this is pretty normal tweaking. This is just uh fitment of custom parts. It happens. Nothing's ever an OE replacement. Perfect fit. tab just needs a little tweaking. Oh, it needs a lot of tweaking. Let me see here. A little more. Should fit right. We got to actually come bring the tab ahead. Can you get in? Yeah. Get that or about all you're going to get for a head. Okay. Oh, what you're saying is you pity the fool that's got to take them off someday. Yeah. Don't Don't uh plan on taking these off. [laughter] Try not to. It's just one of those things. It's built on a jig and all the vehicles are different. Not everything lines up perfect the first time. So, with the Jeep grill, those are probably one of the easiest. Yes, they literally just snap. Snaps. A couple push locks. Yeah, that's an easy fast. You don't even have to remove the rubber ducky. I don't know why I'm so excited. I just had a lot of fun shooting this video. And I want to give a big thank you to Custom Offsets for helping put this video together. But more importantly, I want to give a big thank you to you guys for sticking around and watching and
