Rustoleum has a self-etching primer for bare steel that I like, it comes in cans.
I would do one or two coats with 10-minutes or so between coats then come back with paint the next day.

I've got a cj steel 15 gallon tank you can have. It is in perfect condition.

Changing ball joints on a 2wd torsion arm truck (2006 duramax). . . .

Do I have to unload the torsion arm before seperating the knuckle from the control arms?

The seller is one of my mom's clients. She saw the hood with the chevy emblem in his garage and asked if the hood was for sale. He went on about how he has the entire truck. He really isn't looking...

Lets play the games, "What would you pay for this truck?"

Agreed that the brake shoes are f*cked and holding the drum on. If they have worn a deep enough groove then i have heard of people having to cut the drum off in sections. That would suck. Pray it's...

pass. side is 32" from face of flange to end of splines.

32" but I'm not sure why you would need to know that.

Thanks Ed.
So I guess the answer is yes, it is possible. Is it smart or economical? The answer to that is no.

Buying new studs that would work with the existing knuckles are about $50. The...

How hard, or how dumb would it be to attempt to drill out and re-tap a 9/16" fine thread to 5/8" fine thread? It would need to be tight tolerances because it would be used for studs to hold high...

2007 JK stock track bar/steering stabilizer mount ripped off the axle and cracked while wheeling (open front end/33" tires/no lift). I fabbed this up; it is 3/16" where the stock bracket was 1/8" it...

I did 65% compressed at ride height. So about 4" compressed out of 6" total. I will let you know if there are any problems in the future.

So at ride height you would have the shaft compressed approximately 60%? This is more in the ball park of what I was thinking. Just take the total length of spline (6") then multiply by .60 = 3.6"...

When building a drive shaft what is a good percentage for compression and extension of the splines? Say you have 6" of total spline engagement in the shaft. At ride I would think you would want a...

Homedepot sells metal and wire cup brushes.

Thanks for the offer Brett,
I called 4 wheel parts and for a complete set to pick up next week ran about $40.

Where is the best (cheapest) place to get poly leaf spring bushings from?

-Cheapest I can find right now is $50 to outfit a set of springs, seems steep considering the springs themselves only cost...

Spare tire and high-lift?


I am debating ditching the two and just mounting them on the trailer. By doing this I can shed about 150lbs and a bunch of space, plus a better departure angle. I...

Where does everyone buy the cheapest trailer tires?

Yes, it is possible. Not sure if that trucks system is currently set up for it and if not I am not sure what you would need to add. Pretty sure extreme 4x4 had a little sammi buggy many years ago...

I have always seen it done on the same side as the front axle drop. So for cjs with pass. side drop it always seems people put them on the pass. side. But for yjs/tjs with driver drop it always seems...

Yes 15 gallon. Thanks for the offer Brett, I'll think about it after I see the condition of my current one.

Nice Fred, thanks for that.

Didn't know that shops were that affordable. Anyone know of any places in the B/CS area? Don't really want to drag it all the way back up to Dallas and then back down.

Anyone know where I can get this stuff in person and save the $15 on shipping?...
