just be carefull when you go around the tranny pan gasket and seal area. High pressure washers can sometimes rip/tear some thing.

If you've still got the waxy brown stuff on the frame, keep the pressure washer away from it.
It'll peel it right off, and leave bare frame.

Cakes... My neighbor has a lift if you want to use it. It is down here in Toledo but you are welcome to use it. If so, let me know what will work for you and I will give him a call.

Where you drinkin' a little too much of the sauce when you typed this? J/K. I will check with him and make sure he is cool with it. I am sure a case of beer would change his mind. Let me know when you want to get it done.

And just so that nobody feels like they need to point it out I never got under that thing such that if could crush me should it come down.

the waxy brown is the factory stuff, por 15 is junk, rust bullet is better and cheaper
