I've dried it off after my last offroad trip, but couldn't think of what to get. Thanks. 2001 4Runner SR5 4x4 - An Evolving Expedition and SAR Vehicle Re: Hi-Lift Maintenance (Grease it??)

Keeps the bulk of the wet and dirt off it and then just apply some light spray oil periodically as needed. r.c.brown@ieee.org TruckEditor@tlca.org Project: 4Crawler 4Crawler OffRoad - 4x4Wire discount code Re: Hi-Lift Maintenance (Grease it??)

I give mine a spray of a wax/teflon concoction made for mountain bike chains. I give it a shot every oil change and no caked on dirt or rust so far.
