Re: Project U S Army Sargent Slam

Finished staining the bed wood today. Still drying. Tomorrow I'm going to hit it with satin clear.

Re: Project U S Army Sargent Slam

I used minwax poly shades. Only took one coat on each side because I still wanted to see the grain in the oak. But you have to follow how they apply it on or it will leave streaks and runs. Not to happy with the 1 step sheen. Really needs more satin clear.

Couldn't resist. Got a low mileage 1998 S10 ZR2 rear axle today. Has the standard 3.73 gov locker with disc brakes. Going to pressure wash and paint it tomorrow. Ordered cross drilled slotted rotors and ceramic brakes pads.

Can you tell me the width of that axle wms to wms, I searched online and get several different answers. I want to upgrade when I install my 4 link.
