Pull the rusted/rotted box off last night. Cleaned out a lot dirt and things as well. Anyone know what these black boxes are for?

 

they apear to be carbon fuel vaper canisters. one for each tank

 

I only have one fuel tank tho

 

Thats interesting mines round.

 

those are indeed the vapor canisters for emmisions, im not sure if the vent valve and what not are also located in there on our trucks, but those are something you really dont wanna mess with. by mess with I mean dont remove them lol

 

Without the spare tire and wheels, the truck looks kind of sad.
With the spare tire and wheels, it looks kind of cool.
Guess future buyers can kiss the truck frame goodbye, Ford is going (or already has gone) with uni-body on the trucks. Bad idea.

 

@ 1999f1504x4 What did you do prep wise before you primed and painted the fame and what not. I Plan on hitting as much as i can with the wire wheel with out pulling everything off.

 

Check out Monstaliner. They have a Promo sale on Jeepforum right now, if you buy a bedliner kit ($135) you get free shipping and a quart of chassis saver ($40 value). I plan on doing that if I keep my truck. Plus with chassis saver, all you have to do is wire brush it, then put the chassis saver on.

 

I'll check that out now.

 

I used a scaler or a descaler whatever u call it and a wire wheel. I didnt do an amazing job cause next year im gonna sand blast it and do it perfectly but i just wanted to protect it from the salt its gonna see this winter.
