My buddy sent me this facebook marketplace ad a little while ago. Looking to trade for a land cruiser.
There were some pretty good offers in the comments, but I think they would be crazy to not put it up on BAT.

Mine was coated in layers of engine oil! Most likely years of front crank seals failing😃 It took a lot of work to clean. I even connected my 3000 psi pressure washer to our tankless heater and cranked it to 167 degrees.
I recently rebuilt both diffs out of Covid boredom. I used that as incentive to completely pull the rear axle housing and repaint. Often when I’ve rebuilt a component I’ve ordered new nuts and bolts. Toyota stop using yellow chromate awhile back, so the new ones have the clear coating. When I go to pick-a-part I cruise the toyota section and grab all the clean yellow bolts I can get.

which paint did you use? Looks like a satin black.
I was THIS close to buying Eastwood’s paint and shooting it with my spray gun. But than I saw that Eastwood also sold VHT.
So I got VHT Chassis and Rollbar paint in satin black. I did a test run and thought the sheen came pretty close to what Toyota had done.
When I prepped the diffs and housing I neutralized and oxidation on bare metal and lightly sanded. I didn’t strip any Toyota paint that was good. I figured better to leave and paint over. I did three coats on each diff and the axle housing.

i was looking at the VHT chassis and rollbar paint just the other day and wondering if they offered satin. I have had good results with other VHT and liked the way it sprayed and covered so that is probably what i will use also. Satin black, of course.
