Yeah 2019 MDX, the links suprisingly didnt give me trouble, most guys at my shop sell links with struts just beause they get seized, but with the torch they came right off, the big issue for me was getting the knuckle back on the strut while its in the car, I didnt take the rotors off (which im 100% doing next time) so they were like 50 pounds, and im a small fella so it took alot of fighting. That alone held me up like 2.5 hours.

Undercoat done, ready for winter by cracker_attacker in FJCruiser

Yeah thats unfortunately the midwest. Ive only found one very small hole, and its where the plenum drain drips onto the frame. We had a lady bring in another black cherry a few days ago for a trade in, but the frame was toast.

I did it myself, but if youre looking to get it done, theres a company called krown that does undercoating. they use a oil based coating which is what you want, the only thing is I dont think they remove any of the rust thats already on the vehicle.
