So I just got back from "vacation" and this is what I end up doing...
Sandblasted the rust off the bumper, used filler and primed, then painted the bumper
Sandblasted rear axle and shakles, painted and undercoat applied.

Looks great. How did you "sandblast" the rear axle and shakles? Did you take them off the truck? |

I don't remember what the axle looked like before, but the bumper looks much better now! |

What I have been up to lately... My goal is to get the xterra ready to wheel again for B2SR... I do as much as I can on my one day off a week... all new wheel bearings in the front, had my upper control arms blasted, added a coat of POR 15 and started tackling all the rust on the rest of the X (FYI this is taking FOREVER), cleaning it up and painting with POR 15. Also got new shocks arriving Monday
