And whoever else

What's the spray paint you've found to lay down the smoothest/easiest finish?

I used to have one or two go-to cans but I forgot what ones since I have/had so many.

Application would be a metal surface I can clean up, so most likely a smooth one which would cause any overspray or runs to show.

 

Rust-Oleum Flat Black Auto Enamel

Nice, the island is fun, I love how you are using Stephanie's bed controller to prop up the switch.

 

She finds the active sitting ball much more comfortable (the big inflatable ball).

 

Have you pinpointed the cause yet? It seems unlikely that two different parts/systems would fail simultaneously. I didn't think that generation of Toyota IFS had balljoint issues the 1g Tacos..

 

@Sperrunner The heck are you feeding him

 

Rustoleum 2X with a base of Rustoleum self etching primer.

But youre in cali so you may not get the same stuff I can get.

 

They just get used house paint in a squeeze bottle since propellants are illegal

 

Does it stop up like a mustard bottle? Then splooge out everywhere?

 

I have a ton of Rustoleum self etching primer; it's my go to even though it requires longer cure times.

I've got the two or three cans of the High Performance Enamel I used on several items but that was a year or so ago. I don't recall if it was that or a different Rustoleum I really liked.

 

@Speedytech7 just saw this on the Land Cruiser marketplace group in case you were looking for an OBD2 80 to turbo haha. I’d be tempted to come get it if I actually had the cash on hand.

 

Is that what you used on your house numbers?

 

When I last visited Zane I stocked up on two cases of chlorinated brake cleaner (we only get pressurized acetone), a ton of washer fluid with Methanol in it, and some rustoleum black.

 

The washer fluid is good shit

Just don't use that brake cleaner on anything you're going to weld.

 

Nah I used the krylon stuff cause its all the Lowes by me carries.

 

Sketchy spot to stop for pictures, the license plate tells me they've had it for a long time though cuz we haven't used license plates with a dash in them for over a decade and a half

 

No he can use that brake cleaner on welding stuff. We got him the non-chlorinated, I just don't think he remembers that

 

Seems like a decent deal for a twin loled 80 though

 

It wasn't a balljoint issue. There is a known stiff steering issue that comes from the u-joint on the intermediate shaft or the one near the tilt column that will make steering go tight. I've already had an issue once that was more severe the required me to replace the intermediate shaft. Something was binding in the steering that afternoon.

There is a report of the issue on MUD. The problem is that MUD doesn't always have the answers because people don't report fixes. When I report an issue and get too many ridiculous answers like 'you need to be using Mobil 1 ATF", then I get off the bus and report actual findings to the FB groups instead.

Couple stiff steering with a brake failure when off-roading in the Ozarks is a recipe for the perfect storm.
