Thanks! Here is a look at the other project, 2000 jeep tj with a 4bt cummins

My brother in law broke 3 cross members so since it was getting taken apart I decided to give it a new coat of paint. I am using the majic tractor and implement paint from tractor supply. I started by knocking off the scale rust with a wireless brush on my grinder, applied rust preventative...
