No kidding, I pulled my steering box bolts, the nut to the center link, couldn't get it off the center link, hit it with a hammer and pickle fork for twenty minutes, got pissed, put it back together, and have done nothing since lol.

Obviously this has 0 rust so the idler bracket bolts came out like butter, used a pickle fork and hammer to separate the arms from the center link, And heated the pitman up at the gearbox and a few braaaps of the air hammer it fell right off. Everything I had in the previous post took about 45 minutes.

Yea mines got surface rust on everything underneath. I wouldve never gotten my idler arm support off without my impact lol.

The steering is much more responsive now, still has a little bit of play, but I can live with it. Much success!

So I have this brand new Lund Moonvisor that came with one of the other trucks I recently bought/sold. I had painted it black with intentions of putting it on that truck, and has sat ever since. I'm debating on if I want to put it on this truck or not. Maybe replace all the 194 bulbs with LEDs or something so they'll last longer. The paint looks good right now, however I should probably put some clear coat on it, but the spray can stuff never turns out good.

I know it's not spray can but Nason clear is cheap easy to spray and pretty good but it usually sprays dry so it needs buffing.

Just IMO, but I hate Nason lol. I hate it. Back before the internet was really a thing, I painted a LeMans with it, because it was what my parts store carried, and it was thin, took a million coats, didn't have any real gloss. I was really unhappy with it. I tried it a few years later on a truck and had the same results.
