With the shocks partially installed, I moved it to my back garage so I could have access to my lift to change the snow tires on the dailies. It/I was sad.

Got the spare exhaust manifolds treated with high temp cerakote.



It was time for some spring cleaning and the newly coated spares will help finish off the bottom side

Nope. Many hours of brake cleaner, brushes & pressure washers. I have, however, purchased a ColdJet dry ice blaster so I can cheat a little. It’s a myth that dry ice alone can deliver a spotless finish. Still lots of hand work required but it certainly makes it a lot easier.

That looks very clean; I did not know you could get a small dry ice blaster - do you happen to have a link to it?

Cheers,

Cheers,
No small dry ice blaster. I got an Aero75 DX.
Holds 75pounds of 3mm pellets. An older unit but only 150 hours so basically like new.
If I was buying new, I’d get the 60:

I see that; that is a very neat machine, the ability to adjust the particle size will make for a very fine finish.

Thank you.
