When I ran a crew at a big-rig truck wash in Post Falls, ID, we used brillo pads for chrome bumpers and pipes, and they worked really well. Once they started getting really rusty you could scratch something, but as long as they were in decent shape I don't recall any scratches.

lb79, you're lucky you get snow to play in and somewhere to play in it at. we're lucky to get a couple inches every 5 or 6 years.

If what we had gotten snow and not mix than rain we would have gotten over 20".

i just got off the phone with randys ring and pinion. its going to cost about 1k for front and rear 4.10 gears, master install kits for both axles, wheel bearings for the rear, the adjuster tool for the rear end and a new carrier for the front. he said that i would only save 24$ by getting the thick cut gears as opposed to getting a new carrier so i guess that'll be fine.

and i'm going to install them myself and save 900$ in labor.

so that 1000$ that i'm going to get next month will be put to good use for the new gears.

Yeah, we get the most snow storms here in Indiana in January and Febuary. This morning we had a light dusting.
