My 40

[AaronB]

Nice work on the frame. That POR15 looks good.

Thanks, its some messy stuff. i messed up my driveway and got it all over me, still trying to scrub it off. 

[RN37DD]

  Yeah you can't scrub off POR15. You have to wear it off! That's why I think it works so well, it flows and penetrates deep into the rust and any uneven surface. I just spilled a little bit on my coveralls. It went through my coveralls, my jeans, my thermals, and still sunk into my skin!   From now on I'm more careful and always use gloves.

I had it on me for weeks,   the cap fell off when i was underneath my rig.  I just found a product called zero rust in a arousal can...

[Dooner]

How much por did you go through to do your frame and axles?

[Coastie]

i used two qts on my underneath and frame minus axles and springs.  check out this product called zero rust you can buy in a aerasol can.   may be easier...

Interested in seeing how your track bar turns out. What are you going with for a disc brake set up in the rear?

A full float toyota rear axle thats sweet, or it is some crazy hybred with a drop out 3rd.  Was that a kit you bought, or a true full float rear?  I think your first post said it was out of an FJ60.

yep from a 60, I believe they came on the early 80's-90 non U.S. models. Got it from from spectre off road.

[SloCrawler]

[Dooner]

Congrats on stabbing the 5.3 in  What do you have in mind for the motor mounts?

[Zs Confederate Toy]
