Wow!That's kind of rusty,gonna be a little work to clean it up :(


I've got time :thumbs:

I haven't decided if I'm going to paint it black, or color match to the truck :lol:

Sandblasting it might be an option...as long as you wrap the calipers in something


If I take them off, I'm good :thumbs:

I might just get brave and use a belt sander :lol:

Once you get it cleaned up I'd use some good BLACK Epoxy paint :)


I was thinking bbq paint :lol:

That would work :thumbs:

:thumbs:

Getting a fancy diff cover either way, methinks...

But gotta buy new gears for the front diff... Going with the 4.10s that my rear axle came with.

Then you can run bigger wheels & tires?
