I figured my current front cab mounts are not going to last to long so i went ahead and swapped them out now.







New bushing and spacer mock up

Thanks


I bought a sandblasting attachment for a pressure washer from Northern Tool

General Pump High-Pressure Abrasive Blasting Kit — 3,500 PSI, 8.0 GPM | Pressure Washer Sandblast Kits Nozzles| Northern Tool + Equipment

backed it with a 3000psi washer and blasted the crap out of it, I didn't even have to cut the hose shorter. The one key thing that i figured is to keep the sand feed tube that attaches to the nozzle pointing up so that water doesn't run down it.

The power washer sandblaster works surprisingly well, I didn't have to shorten the siphon hose. It works best if you have a buddy to shake the bucket or bag of sand every now then and you can just let her eat. Like I mentioned above the only downside was the siphon input at the nozzle you just have to make sure to keep that pointing up so that when you let off the trigger of the power washer the water does not back wash down the siphon tube and clump it up.
