Build Meet Steve

[PabloCruise]

with the 3;70s, 4 spd, 33s, and tired motor, could only get to 65mph. top speed not really a goal for me, but getting up hills at more than 35 is

At sea level?
That sounds like a very tired engine, or something else wrong with it...

so LED light discussions made my head spin, so went back with all stock, cleaned lenses and replaced bulbs, looking at truck, noticed a little rust around cargo window. ADD kicks in , I cut rubber and remove gaskets, pull windows, pig surprise!
as i considered how to proceed, i thought, need to accomplish something, pull the driver door and replace hinges, more rust. If i am going to make pig party, im going to have to spit on rust, and leave for another day. since i have cargo windows out, will need to address holes

Those $50 upgraded Toyota headlights that come with the harness are pretty good. PO put them on my pig before I bought it. Don't have the part number handy but will dig it up if you want to consider. I think someone else already mentioned them in this thread, IIRC.

I think pretty much any discussion involving LED/HID is going to generate a lot of responses!

What is your plan for new cargo window rubber?

 

[Pigeaten]

Patch the holes, clean rust and seal , new cargo seals(been buying rubber last 5 years), hopefully get headliner in first, but time clicking away before pig party

Rust deeper than I thought, what can I dump/spray, in areas to stop or slow down rust? I have some rust converter, internal frame coating , and some POR 15. I have gotten the biggest part of rust off where I have access . But put my finger in hole where sun visor goes, rust, I wish I could dunk truck in something to stop. Thoughts or ideas?

 

[wngrog]

Smoke it with rust converter and Fluid Film. Fluid film creeps where paint amd rust converter can’t.

This ^^^
Final step is to get a bag of Flamin Hot Cheetos and crush into a fine powder, then apply over the Fluid Film.

It looks like that now with mouse pee rust
I hope this pig can swim, going to be floating in fluidfilm soon

 

[Pigeaten]

Crunchy or the air puffed?

 

[sneaky]

I was going to suggest unbolting the roof support ribs and cleaning in there, but it looks like yours are welded in?

 

[WarDamnEagle]

Get a gallon of corroseal. I think I would skip the fluid film, etc. if you are going to paint. If not then definitely use it.

 

[Pigeaten]

So if Im going to paint use which product?
