Get some sand paper or wire brush and get rid of rust

 

Yup. I use some farm implement paint that has some rust convertor in it. It's the same spots that get chipped so the paint only lasts a few months anyways. Wash the truck, let it dry, paint, wait a few months do it again (really ends up being like once a year).

 

I just use a little piece of sand paper, go down to metal and smooth the chips out, hold cardboard up to the truck for overspray, and rattle can

 

Exact same thing I do.

 

I usually just rock the rusty scratches and every year or two I will hit the spots with a wire wheel/brush, mask off the rockers and hit it with some rusty metal primer and top coat. Near as I can figure most of the sliders any of us run are stout enough that a little rust is nothing but a cosmetic issue which you can always touch up if it bothers you or treat more as a periodic maintenance item like I do.

 

Made a vice mounted diff stand.

now waiting for my buddy to get down here after @Shadowhunter gives him the swing unit.

 

Looks legit my buddy took his plasma cutter and blasted a hole in his metal table.

 

i was eyeballing my brother fab table...

if this goes well i might figure out a better solution, i was considering running an adapter to one of the engine stands we have, but they’re not stable enough to get readings off of.

 

He has a nice 3/4” thick 8’x4’ table he built. It’s really nice for pounding out stuff on it. It doesn’t even wiggle.

 

Good tests on showing that Shell Rotella is pretty awesome. Will stock up on this the next time it's on sale.

 

I love Rotella. I use it in everything I own.

 

Made a DIY spanner wrench

 

might double as a theft deterant pursuader too.

 

Like a boss!
