I'm ordering my SYE kit on Monday, so hopefully by the time the holidays are over I'll have it installed. I already have the rest of the needed parts as outlined in the SYE thread. One last issue that I want to take care of before I remove the transfer case drop for good, is addressing the surface rust that is on the frame.
I've seen plenty of threads on various forums that show pictures of massive rust on the frame where the transfer case skid plate bolts up. Mine is just surface rust, but I still think that I should address it before the skid plate gets put back in place. At least with the drop kit, moisture doesn't get get trapped between the two.
So my question is what is the best way to remove the surface rust, and what product should be used on the frame once the surface rust has been removed.
I've read about people using POR-15, Chassis Saver, Krylon, Duplicolor, etc...
Thoughts? Suggestions?
