    Here is an area for penetrating oil. As I am getting closer to really getting serious, I'm still scouting for smaller details to get all parts and/or prepped for painting, etc. The bumper stops in the rear are... well they aren't. I think I'm going to take the brackets off and clean them up...

    Update pict for the Eastwood rust gel. This is about 24 hours later - wiped some gel off and assessing. My impressions - if you have a large flat area and don't have a sandblaster, maybe an angle grinder like @Green Bean mentioned earlier. I think the time to soak, wipe, re-soak the parts, (I...

    @greenEFSI, thanks for this! I never paid much attention the the plain cap on Yellr 'til your post - turns out it does have a vent but it isn't OEM... So I looked a new cap up and noticed where I get parts from time to time is having 25% discount on parts plus free shipping over $75. link for...

    you take it to bare metal anywhere you can - or just grind rust areas and POR over everything -

    That is what I am getting ready for - sandpaper to help exfoliate? To enhance the experience, maybe wait unit 100 out and humidity is around 90% -

    Not dumb, it was at 7 before I started yesterday. I'm also thinking of checking the valves too. been 6 months since last done. Over time, if I can't get my vacuum back up, will get a smoke test to help find leaks. I'm also looking into possible venting with charcoal canister etc. Check valves...

    And finally... Been smelling gas ... even as I drive very noticeable. I could smell some too in the engine bay from time to time. Decided to do something different. Investing vs just ask... First recommendation I found was gas cap... Took it off today, made a small hiss - thought that was...

    Decided to try and clean up the skid plate today too. Thought I'd try this and see what it does. Says keep on for at least 8 hours - (going for 20+) Some misc picts too. It has some remains of rubber undercoating. and.. And that is a wrap. Put in in the garage.

    Couple short boring posts vs one long boring post... Went to chem dip place Friday - not done - so doors etc wait. Decided to try the internal frame beater. First - use shop vac to get what was loose - not much... surprising to me - could feel dried mud cakes when poking around. Took a few...

    I love that except Karl posts about how much time is left f&cks with my mind when considering all the other commitments too. Edited: And I was trying to give you top cover/an out that we talk outside of MUD. Totally fine bringing you down to my level. :beer:

    That had been my MO until late.... yesterday. - Swear I am part Klingon - Seriously - a box of parts I got today... 2 pilot bearing - why do I need two pilot bearings? (Sure I have a 2f in the garage to rebuild someday) With the birfs - another MUD member (keeping them anonymous) asked me...

    Still collecting parts between work trips. Got the last of the suspension, the 80 amp RMAN alternator, some small stuff from powder coating... Going to wait to see what I will need for brakes "while I'm in there", same with birfs, have no idea what they will look like so holding off ordering...

    Dan @mtn biker - this all came about as we were discussing coming out to help you yank the engine. And we said the drive would be like Up in Smoke - and it all went sideways from there... in a good way. Let us know - (I think I have a 4Runner engine to help rebuild and stab in towards end of...
