I put away the welders, crud thug and cutting torche and brought out another toy to paint today.

I finished installing the front axle a couple days ago, with new leafs Painted in Graphite Slip Plate to hopefully allow for more flex and a smoother ride. I will install the rear axle tomorrow after the paint dries. I used Hammerite Rust Cap and mixed one quart of gloss with 2 quarts flat and reduced to make a gallon. I sprayed 3 coats over everything and saved a little for touch up.

The new crossmember almost looks factory. I can now install rear axle, and roll back into shop where I will be mocking up my transfer case and start on new brake lines. Fisherman
