Man, I don't know to be honest. There's a nasty pothole around the corner. Did I mention these are stock and flat?
That sounds like a good path forward. One day when the kids grow up and are out of the house and college is paid for I will finally start making upgrades. Should be around the year...
Stock springs and suspension. Springs are pretty flat. Knew I needed to replace the whole suspension at some point.
Then this happened. Passenger front shackle is inverted/collapsed. Searched around and didn't see a ton about what to do about this. Someone mentioned jacking it up and using a...
A little update. Applied Fluid Film today to all the exposed rust and paint bubbles. Wish I would have done it sooner (have owned it for 6 months). Hoping I did it correctly in that I wiped off the excess all the excess. Couldnt find much info online about apply to the body, only the frame. Did...
That's kind of what I was thinking, haha. I recognize "bad" and "good" are subjective when it comes to rust and yes, you never know what's underneath until you dig...but I was thinking I was lucky too.
Is Fluid Film the one that has a gnarly smell? Feel like I've read somewhere on mud about one of the rust inhibitors having a really bad smell that just seems to never go away.
That's really interesting. Never heard that analogy, but makes sense. So don't dig in to anything before I'm ready for a complete repaint? Even the gutters? Right now the main thing is just keeping moisture off by getting a cover and potentially greasing the rusted areas?
Yeah, guess that's my question. How can I do it properly without going as far a full repaint? Does addressing this kind of rust require that extreme of a full repaint?
Gutters pretty much look like this all around. This was obviously repainted at one point. But did the PO just not address the rust? Or can rust creep in like this, coming up from under th paint if it was not there previously?
