That's about it. I'm sure there are more but they are smaller. Seems like the bolts that go into the LCAs and such are the same.
Lol.

I've seen every inch of mine more than I'd like to admit. I wipe her bottom down routinely. But I've never considered painting the axle.

I painted the axle on my Bronco with POR-15 and it's awesome stuff. But don't get it on your skin. Unless you want a Warshak tattoo. I did the Bronco because it's so visible. And because I had the axle housing completely removed from the truck.

I use to buy that in a quart can, but I see they changed it. ( Eastwood Co.)

Man a quart goes a loooooooooong way. I found a quart at a local auto body paint store. Along with their Marine Clean and Prep stuff.

I bought a gallon from Eastwood. That'd do a dozen complete vehicles I think.

The hard part is keeping it in an open can. If you put the lid on it'll seal shut. I put some plastic between the lid and the can so I can get the lid off again.

I clean out my underside of my lawn tractor deck then use POR on it and it would remain rust free a long time.
And years ago I sandblasted the entire bottom side of my 69 Mach1 and applied POR
