So today is my 4th day of pressure washing the belly of my "40". And now I found another 1/2" of mud inside of frame. HELP!!! Has anyone in the G.P. area have a couple of ramps that I can borrow?

man, i have been having paint issues this week.
i spent the first part of the week touching up the bars and bumpers. overspray nightmare and felt like id straight huffed a few cans. my sinus' still hate me today.
tonite i went out to actually spray color on the cab where rust was showing through. spent a few hours prepping yester and sunday. mixed about three time the paint i actually needed. then the first coat went on wAy too thick. though i was going to lose it, the paint job, not mind. ended up doing about three good coats on the cab repair and just wildman sprayed the DS fender.
lol
looked pretty good under the LED fladhlight. i will get to see how bad it is after work tomorrow.
spray bomb rant off.
i did pick up a cheap little sprayer from the paint shop. its a jar with some propellant attached. cost like 5 bucks but seems to work good. i used single stage acrylic enamel. the OG toyota paint is 2 stage. itll look good from 20 feet.

I need to make one more trip to the grocery store, prep food, wash the LX (and maybe add some stickers), do a quick inspection on it to make sure everything is good and pack up... I can't wait to hit the road!!!

Well our scouts/preworkers have it to the saddle and should be at camp now.
What other club attacks it's events with a full blown Recon team...??! I hope they have the carnival rides and the midway games up and running by the time we roll into camp!
Apparently my 3 yr old, undersized POS battery in the LX didn't like having an ARB fridge attached to it... *sigh* Oh well, I now have a new battery and I'm as packed as I can be for tonight.

Went to change the oil in the diffs this morning. Both drain holes were mashed during last year to the point I couldn't get a socket on there. A little hammer and chisel work did the trick. I've scraped, scrubbed and power washed and it better pass. It has to be cleaner than last year. When it's dry I'm gonna unleash Bobby with 3 cans of black to finish the "cleaning".
