    about to start sandblasting what type of paint should i use

    You can use rattle cans and there are CARC replacements that match CARC paint very nicely. But it won't last very long. There just isn't enough pigment and hardeners in rattle can paint. Spray gun on some CARC would probably be the best option.

    whats cheaper in the long run in sandblasting

    I have done quite a bit of sandblasting and it is cheaper to do it yourself if you have the right equipment. First you need to ensure that your compressor can hold up to the task without burning it up. I have a 75gal that stores 175psi with a 6.5HP motor. You can do a decent job with a 40lbs...

    11.00x20 Michelins XL's are a nice upgade, and you don't have to upgrade your rims. Anything bigger and you should get bigger rims. They are radials and you find them for $100 to $200. a tire in nice condition.

    In Middle of Recovery Need Help! Hub leak

    Yes, keep the diff full of fluid and head for home. I think there is a small channel that is usually plugged with a piece of corke and they go bad. This lets the diff fluid run out through the wheel hub. I don't think this is a road side repair. Good luck.

    Heater idea for recovery

    The electric would be safer, but typically will not put out the kind of heat you need if it is below 15 degrees. This will especially true if you are picking up a soft top. I have used a MR heater and secured it down with a good deal of warmth. However, if you let it get too warm, and due to...

    The Great Snow And Ice of Louisville.

    I don't think these trucks could make it through 30" of snow with 9.00x20 tires. But I have never tried it nor had the chance to. I have gone through a 2 foot snow drift for 50 yards though.
