I was right...... it got worse. Cab off of frame, engine/trans/transfercase out. What a mess. I did find that the CV joint on the front driveshaft was shot and probably would've exploded after about 3 miles, so that's gotta be worth the time it took to tear this thing apart.... right??

Two questions I have right now: 1) I want to spray por 15 on the frame, but do I HAVE to use their solvent to thin it? Can't I just spray it out of the can? 2) Is there an advantage to having an updated engine crossmember (DIY4X) vs the stock one?
