My scary Halloween photo...

Created dust in FL on our boring trails over the weekend....Troopy was the weapon of choice.

4 Toyotas and 1 Jeep......it was more like an intervention.
 
Turned to the wheel housing.
The original coating became bridle after 30 years and had partially vanished. The PO had the housings sprayed with the body paint but that's not sufficient.
Removed the old junk with angle grinder and wire brush and applied first layer Brantho rust protection coating. Will do 4 layers and finish with undercoating.

Coatings and extensive wire brush work is awesome, but including a "rust converter" prior to any other coating will really help seap into cracks/spot welds and convert surface rust to a sealed paintable surface that won't bubble back out. Especially places you can't reach well with the wire wheel.-R.
 
Got the Odd Iron front recovery points installed today with the help of a friend.. took all of 2 beers and an hour or so. Pretty smart packaging and big plus not having to take the ARB off. They fit nice and snug. Had to go for a rip through the woods to make sure they were secured properly ;)

Perhaps Rob should consider this for an advertising slogan. :)
