Nice! I spent the better part of the last hour looking for my cans of POR15. The wife had been threatening to throw them away if I didn't put them up for the last several months. She is at work, so I can't ask. I finally gave up and used high temp engine primer to primer the damn thing. While that was drying, I went ahead and removed the passenger side axle and installed the new bracket.
Put the first coat of red on, letting it dry now. Then I will go ahead and mount up the passenger side. While the second coat is drying, I will yank the driver's side out...not the fun one. Its a PITA to get the axle bearing off. I also have to make sure I don't damage the axle seal, those things are like 40 bucks IIRC from replacing em when I did the locker install.

After looking at the pics, I noticed how bad the oil pan looked, so I went ahead and treated that with rust neutralizer, and I will paint it as I go along. My poor old girl looks horrible. most of it is mud, but damn, its pathetic.

Oil pan is done, and I used rubber undercoating, neat stuff. GOt the brackets mounted up, no problems with the bearings and seals. Will try to put it back in tomorrow, gotta let the paint cure.
Then I get to start on the flexy kit install. I know there are some that are lurking waiting for those pics. I will have some flex pics up hopefully by Sunday.
