I used a wire wheel underneath, then wire brush and sprayed it down with purple power, pressure washed then blew it dry. What a friggin process, but it was worth it. Too bad you werent closer I'd be willing to help!

yeah for sure. shes a mess under there, Not really the frame, its mostly fine as im sure it was undercoated from factory, canadian truck, most vehicles where i live leave the dealer with free undercoating

but in this pic, you can see she needs some love in some spots.

Yeah those knuckles really flake. do you know of a powder coater near you? They would look killer powder coated! Also, I POR15 the lower control arms and they are holding up great with the road salt!

i think im pretty much between a cherokee or a 2 door blazer. i like the look of the blazers and the 2 doors. i like how cherokees have more aftermarket support though. im stuck between the two.

Yeah I know a good powder coater. Good work and not expensive. Will have to consider going that route.

We shall see! Will be hard to go that long with a down truck though, that's the only issue I can see.
