+1 for ECG. I've been very impressed with the Customer Service there.

Thats good to know! With your attention to detail that's a great recommendation for them and makes me feel better about doing business with them.
Now, I just need to get a little bit better so I can get out in my garage and start all these projects I've had on hold for so long... Cabin fever is setting in!
I'm considering having an ExPo Wrench-A-Thon Day some weekend here later in July since I have so much to get done with my current limitations.

No plans for a front locker, I've never felt like I needed one.
I have the Demello Rack, Eezi-Awn 1600 and the OEM toolbox for sale here:

I'm going with smooth sides (no windows) just like what Mario has on his Jeep Commanche pickup. This way I have privacy for changing etc. and I can load it to the rafters with no fear of knocking a window out.

Por-15
Well, as I compile parts and supplies for my upcoming MAJOR re-furbishing of the truck I thought I should address the light surface rust on the frame and especially the sliders. I started researching paints that would be MUCH more durable than the expensive Rust-Oleum that I have been applying to the sliders about 2x a year - that old routine is getting tiring and I need something that will last!
Enter POR-15 products :costumed-smiley-007
I've seen alot of reviews touting this stuff, and I was looking for some heavy duty farm implement type paint that could take a beating and withstand UV. POR-15 fits the description.
So, I ordered the Mix-Pack of POR-15 in Chassis Black, a quart of Marine Clean, and a quart of Metal-Ready for prep. All shipped for less than $100 and should be more than enough cover the sliders and frame
This should be a fairly straightforward afternoon's worth of work and hopefully should wear better than the rattle can.

Back when I drove a TLC, it seemed like all of the FJ40 guys painted their frames with POR15 when rebuilding their trucks. I've heard nothing but good things regarding it. Good luck!
