Shit I don’t feel bad about my rattle can application now.

 

Worth a try and not crazy expensive. I'll grab a can or 3 next time I'm at homedump and give it a try. For me it's the brackets that need something that creeps. Woolwax covers great but doesn't soak into flaking rust.

 

Ah, whoops, I already got another can of black at the house, lol.

 

Might be at an auto parts store rather than home depot

 

Black looks best for sure. I just think about wrenching and what I look like after.
Any color is better than nothing.

The video said at home depot and only in rattle cans. Can't say I've ever seen it on the shelf but if banned parts is willing to cover his brand new 4runner in it I'll try it.

 

Yeah, it makes everything so bad to work on…

 

So what do you run through the sprayer to clean up that gook? Asking for a friend

 

I'm just guessing dedicated tooling.

 

You were right...
So when woolwax catches on fire its a bit like napalm



No less than 10 fires to do the CMC

Didn't get to the alignment tabs. Wasn't too clean so we'll do them later. Did invest in a weldershood and will be buying a welder this week.(i can finally see what I'm doing!)

I'll hit it with the flap disc and paint after dinner

Better pics when I'm done

 

Went to the Durham fair. Pretty good 4x4 pulls.
This guy with a stock ford power stroke 350 did a full pull. !

 

Well, if I wanna get that done, I might hit you up for that. I'll probably have to power wash that entire area before that though, lol.

 

Hit it quick with the flap disc and painted it up. This week I'll beat back the pinch weld and seal it up nice. Trying to get as ready as possible for 35s.

 

You're next and we made some gusset pieces for the alignment tabs. Guy said he will come up to Lawrence( my shop) for the next mod day. Which is about as far as Jared's for him.



So we should plan up another mod day somewhat soon, we were also talking about a brewery meet-up or something before its too cold..?

 

Any issues with the woolwax while welding the plate on?

 

Minor fires... like 10. Cleaned really well but anything I missed caught. Had a hose and fire extinguisher but only needed a spray bottle. Had him do 10 second hits all the way around and we were done in an hour and bushings didn't cook.

Guy that did it thought I should have cleaned the welds better with the flap to make it look nice...function first

 

Fires! The woolwax caught?

 

Hell yeah, right now I'm open any weekend except next weekend and then the 15th but I've been actively trying to take on side work to scrounge some funds so I'll let you know if things change. I'll chop the body mounts and have him do those + the gussets when we go also down for a brewery day before it gets to cold!
