Copied from LOST..
Why not? I dont start my summer job till next Monday and I was bored. We all know you do stupid things when you are bored.
Ive always wanted to paint it since its really the only thing thats rusty under there, so Im doing it! I wish I could do the front suspension but I just dont have it in me. I would need to do the clevis fork, lower control arm(may be able to do it while its on the Jeep), and spindle.
Took me around 2hours or so to get it all off. I plan on doing the A-Arm, axle, and lower control arms. Hopefully regular paint will be ok for the rear axle. It says it can be on surfaces that do not get over 200F and Im fairly sure an axle doesnt get that hot. The engine only gets around 210F or so.
Ill sand it all real good then lay down some primer. Next Ill put on a cost of regular rust-oleum satin black then Ill put some rust-oleum textured flat on it. I already had two cans of the textured and I couldnt find anymore of it at walmart tonight so I figured a coat of satin under it would be ok. I like the textured look and feel. I painted my front skid plate in it.
Anyway, on to the pics.
My tools.. Ive got everything I need in the set. anything it didnt have, Ive gotten and keep in it.
Kitty must check all the work I do:
I got some thread lock for the drive line and upper a-arm balljoint. I noticed they had some when I took them off so I got some to put back on them.
Got the Lithium for the ebrakes. Ive heard some people have been having problems with them locking up, so Im going to clean them up good and put that on them..
So, who thinks Im over doing it? :lol: I sat on my creeper before I started wondering if it was worth it. Now that Ive gotten into it, I think Ill really like it when its done. As many people know, Im a huge detailing freak and often detail my engine and underbody.. So this will suit me good. Ill probably shoot some paint on the front of the lower control arms since I can see them when looking at the front of the Jeep. They are starting to rust some from mud and such offroad wearing the paint off I guess..
