    Winch is a sealed unit. For the alternator just let the truck run and dry out for remainder of the day. If it shits the bed then so be it. It's what I built the truck for.

    Not sure exactly where your saying.....

    Chassis saver will fade when in direct sunlight. But I'm pretty sure it can used as a primer for another paint.

    In addition to under the cab, we also painted the inside of both front fenders, underside of the bed, and both rear wheel wells.


    It would be a smart idea to do the pinch weld of the cab at some point.

    Yeah @gray223, that was inarticulate of me. Sorry. I hoped to also paint these locations before the winter.

    (these are what i found to be the places where rust first starts in tacos, aside from doors and the weld along the rocker which i hope to use fluid film on as to not block drains. )
    All painting would be interior or under the truck. no exterior sides of body panels.

    I was not going to use chassis saver as no one recommended it for a rust free painted body. But it would sure bey easy to just use it rather than research and purchase an alternative. If you are using it in your wheel wells it might be ok.

    Does anyone know if the AllPro UCAs have the stainless steel uniballs2? I know about a year ago they were discussing upgrading to it. Just not sure if that ever got done.
