Paint already? Sounds like it must be wheelable then.

The entire axle has mostly been tacked together and when not on the dollys pushing it around the shock I was always worried about breaking a tack weld. As the lockers reall bind things up unless it’s a straight line push. Spent the weekend pulling it out and fully welding it as well as finishing the hydro mount. As I was about it put it under the truck my kid asked why we weren’t painting it. Well it was gray or olive drab so they picked olive drab
