Did you weld all the seams? Seems like that would be stronger then how they're just bolted together.

Not yet. I'll have to strip the Rhine to do that right as most of the weldable seams are up front...

Sherwin Williams Kem Bond HS industrial primer and Kem Bond IN HS industrial acrylic in black gloss.
Its from taking rocks and shit flying up at 70 mph on our POS highways. I must have 20 new chips in my hood down to metal from when I touched it up last spring.
Whipped it all down with Xylene then sanded it all down. Cleaned again with Xylene, primer and paint. I rushed the process last fall cause I wanted to get the truck together before the Beech Creek meet. You could smell the paint curing on the truck for almost a week cause it was so cold out. If I had done it and taken my time like I did with my skids it would be fine. Before winter Ill take both off and sand them down 100% and start over.
Oregon..?..
Yesterday's fun
Cut a 1-1/8" recessed hole out of the middle of a 2x4 for my ghetto press.
Then just used the old bolt to suck them the rest of the way in for the spring clips.
Shiny new balls...

I thought it was an All-Poo
No it's relentless.
Boyd wheels his junk, so his balls are dirty.
(Insert Jamie Pressly dirty balls commercial here)

Will pay to see Cmack get tased
That pitting isn't from wheeling.
No, that's from the acidic New Jersey air.
We'll call it 'Snookie breath'...

I need to soon. Ive had enough of NJ for a while. Should of never bought a house here.
Nope. Front bumper and sliders are Relentless.
? Maybe mine were made from lesser materials. They showed signs of rust in the balls after the first rain. I think I remember telling you that when it happened.
I make sure to power wash the hell out of it after wheeling so IDK?
The balls were loose for months and were making popping noises from rattling around. Pitting could be from that. I was to lazy to mess with them till we had some warmer weather.
The Teflon spray I had didn't do jack. Then I started using Deep Creep after they were shot. I lubed the new ones up with the Teflon spray I used on the old ones and I am currently waiting for a shipment of the stuff Dan at Wheelers sells. Once I get that Ill stop using the old Teflon spray crap.
