Moving. My Secret Clearance has (hopefully) enabled me to get a better job. I wasn't anticipating the MUCH higher cost of living vs. La Florida (we have no state income tax here, rent is much cheaper). So the $30,000 raise I am asking for isn't as nice as it seems! Anyway, I just want to keep my Trooper "nice" (it is a daily driver). And I should be able to afford a pressure washer now...Staun makes something called a "Car Spa" - little nozzles that mount to the frame, you hook up a hose, and flush out the gunk. Hopefully a pressure washer will get off the clay. This truck is from Dallas, Georgia and half the state's soil came out of the frame when I washed it! My stepdad (from GA) says it prevents rust though...

Re: the POR-15. Never used it, but I do keep a spray bottle with phosphoric acid in it to hit rust spots if I see them. Works great on surface rust. Another cool trick is to submerge a part in a super-saturated sodium carbonate solution and hook a battery charger up to it. Positive to a sacrificial piece, negative to the part. Works wonders. I plan to do this to the rear door - dig a trench, put in some plastic tarp, do the electrolysis treatment.
