[Xeek]

[jd4242]

ok. NOW its your turn

That's photo shopped!! its pouring rain down!! Im waiting on my gears and locker.you have about two weeks on cleaning to do anyways!!!hahaha

 

[Xeek]

the rain mustve moved your way, cause it was pouring here when i posted the other pic. its all clear outside now

yea lots of cleaning

 

[Xeek]

starting to paint the axle.

cleaned the junkyard springs. the real color is orange. looks like someone painted them black at one time. who has orange springs for a ranger? skyjacker is red aint it? so whos orange?

 

[Xeek]

half the stuff is painted, ill take some pics.

now im starting to understand why brandon liked smelling spray paint so much. lol


edit: didnt get one of the springs, but theyre painted already

^yes i missed a spot. needs another coat anyway

 

[jd4242]

Hahaha was going to call you out!!;p look 100% better what paint are you using?

 

[Xeek]

same as i did for my axle, rustoleum bed liner spray can. holds up well, the 8.8 only has a couple small spots that wore off, prob some surface rust i had missed
i wish i could start over from the ground up and paint every single little thing how i want. but its just not possible right now


i think my front driveshaft is a junker, its got yellow markings lol
some shop prob charged the old owner for a new one and they got a junkyard one lol

 

[jd4242]

Yea i used rusto then dupli bed liner and it don't have a nick in it.i did my whole inside with ruto but haven fished it.you can see ever spot that i didn't paint is rusted from the beach.every nu and bolt.i didn't have any rust before!!

 

[Xeek]

yea 60% of everything has turned orange now from the beach. the other 40% was covered in mud/grime/dirt/grease so it wasnt exposed to the sand.

im pretty much done. just have the drivers side axle/arm/crossmember to paint.
i have some white paint left to, im debating adding some white in there. i was thinking radius arms and obviously calipers since i did the rear ones.
for anybody that doesnt rememebr the rear, this is why i want some white in there:

or making a false diff cover out of paint?.. like so:

pretty sure my front shocks are gonna be white, theyre pro comps. so ill paint my stock rear shocks white also

I would just do a fake cover in the front,not the arms.ps nice pic

You pull that pumpkin off yet or you just going to bring me the whole thing?if you do pull it off be careful not to dick it up.it can be a pain to get it to separate. Might have to beat a scrapper around the edges first or use a blade.or you might get lucky and it falls right off
