You go to the hardware store and there is the bolt you need - zinc plated or galvanized - which should you purchase.

Zinc is pretty and shiny - galvanized is dull and ugly. But wait, if you're using the bolt outdoors, in a few years that shinny zinc bolt will be ugly rusted and that dull zinc bolt will still look new.

Outdoors, and where you need corrosion protection - Galvanized
Indoors, or in dry climates where corrosion is not a concern - Zinc


What is the difference between zinc and galvanized? Both zinc plating and galvanizing applies a zinc plating. So they both use zinc. The big difference is in thickness, zinc plating is typically 3 microns thick. Hot dip galvanizing is 50 microns thick - so you get 10 times the protection with galvanizing.

Even after 20 years outdoors this galvanized fence shows no signs of rust. The Galvanizing has formed a white protective coating (patina) that adds to its protective properties.

All true galvanizing is hot dip galvanizing. The term "hot dip galvanizing" is used so there is no confusion over some paint companies who try to full the consumer by calling their product "galvanizing". Parts to be galvanized are submerged in molten liquid zinc, hence the name "hot dip."....

baka kasama sa style ang kulay nya dahil "racer" ang image ng box-type na yan.
mas ok na yan kaysa sa burloloy (kurtina, isang-daang fog lights, mga sticker ng pangalan ng buong angkan...etc).

palagay ko, offset ng mags ang dahilan kaya magkaiba. kailangan niya ng deep dish sa likod. at wala siyang makitang mags na pareho ang style na magkaiba ang offset.

Rims for the front wheels and mags for the rear wheels. The seats are also different.....

The 1951 Hudson Hornet (Doc Hudson in the movie "Cars") had what was an advanced feature during its time - it had a "step down" design. The floor was between the chassis rails, not on top. This lowered the overall height and the center of gravity of the car.

Can modern owner type jeeps be made that way?

Yup... but is there incentive for builders to actually build something low instead of something that just looks low? Also, since the frames are pretty much standard, it'll compromise the footwells, not unless the frame is custom made for the application.

Sir Oyil, tingin mo pag ganito ang mags ng OTJ dikaya sasayad yan sa tapaludo pag nalubak?

I dont know if this is a bad idea pero making wrangler jeep into lowered maybe a good counterpart of a owner type jeep.

Don't know about you but if you do that in Manila it just says one thing: I don't have the money to buy me a real car.

I dont care what others may say as long as I am "Happy" and riding my own wheels.
