Nother tool
Yesterday I picked up another tool... a 20 gallon parts washer... here is some pics...
I got this for my 1997 Knuckle rebuild that Will happen in the next 2 months. But also for the LV and other project. This part will speed up the cleaning process... Wasnt part of the list above, So i put it in the other section.
Retails for $199... I got it for $60.. off of good ol'e Craigslist.org... the $12.50 gallon of Biodegradeable degreaser included. You can get replacement pumps from harbor freight if one goes bad.

Update
Throughout the week I jabbed at the rear and front bumpers... non stock, so they need to go away.
95% done with the work to get the frame to stock. Here are a few pics. Matt's (buckroseu's) comment about 36 grit sanding pads is good advice, tried it on the frame and flushed out some areas much better than a wheel would have.
Also, the previous owner.. put some serious roofing tar on the frame... We (Bob my father in law and I) found that a Chissle and a hammer get the majority off... before sandblasting.

Yea, just keeping the axles, maybe drive-train... thats it... all the other stuff is being parted out so I can buy new stuff for the LV... funds are tight! https://forum.ih8mud.com/showthread.php?t=51509

Don't use that degreaser it sucks. Go to NAPA and get some of their degreaser. Expensive but it actually works unlike that biodegradeable stuff.

Today I picked up a few more things... some things that I had planned on buying and some that were just a good deal and I will use.
1. 80 gallon - 7hp - 15.1cfm at 90psi - Compressor with atatchments>>> What are they??? $300
2. A Devilbiss Gravity feed paint gun... with air pressure guage >>> Dont know if i got a good deal $60
3. Drill press... 6 speed -> $100 Spontanious purchase
4. 2 speed Band saw with metal blade -> $100 Spontanious purchase
5. Ridgid Table saw -> $100
Total cost $660 Which is what I was going to pay for a New compressor... the compressor still has 2 months of warranty as well.
Now, all I need to do is make the Blasting/paint booth and wire up 220 to the compressor and I have plenty of cheap work to keep me busy.
I dont know much about 2 items... the air compressor accessories and the paint gun. but I'm sure I'll find out.
