Frame sandblasting

[DarkFox1]

I agree with everything said, break it down, blast it all, put it back together, its well worth it. Think of that rust as a cancer :P if you miss 1 little spot of bare metal trying to cut corners, it will eat into your nice clean stuff (I've lost my mind thinking about it this way.. so on second thought dont think of it that way lol)

and.. yes.. powdercoating is a great idea HOWEVER, make sure before you get it done that you have gotten all the rust. I was going to have mine done, but then noticed a large rust deposite between 2 peices of the frame (spring pads and spring "tensioners" as I call them, the rear coil pads were eaten up and the pads on the inside were too) we had to drill these items rivets off, remove them, blast them individually, and then paint them off the frame before bolting them back on with grade 8s.

hope that helps, I've got some pics on my link of my frame blasted on the trailer if you want.

Good luck, yer doing the right thing by cosidering these methods IMO
