If you don't want to use the ASCO hubs I'd trade your for a set of Aisins...


But to start I would powerwash the hell out of that thing, then take it down and clean everything on it.

I wouldn't bother painting it until it's all said and done ready to be bolted up to the truck.

 

I'm probably going to keep the ASCO's and have the wabbit powder coat them. I've already power washed it and I'm in the middle of scrubbing it with purple power.
