Evapo-Rust does work very well. Know what also works well? Undiluted white vinegar.

1 quart Evapo-Rust $8.99
1 gallon 45% Pure Vinegar Concentrated $18.99

Lol, it happened on accident. Like 15 years ago, I tossed a bunch of used specialty hardware in this tub when I was cleaning the garage. I don't recall what happened, but somehow I busted the lid and water collected in it for a while. I think the roof leaked on it maybe. I got pissed off when I found it, so just dumped a bunch of fluid in there after draining the water.

I've stirred it up from time to time. Tossed in at least a couple pair of pliers, a couple pair of vice grips and some more bolts here and there. I also put in a ring/pinion gear and a couple t-case inputs to keep them from rusting.

Well I'm glad this thread was bumped, now I can find it again. I'll be moving in the next couple of weeks which can only mean one thing. I'll be forced to empty the finely aged special sauce from my soaker tub and see what goodies my be in there.

Eh. I've tried to sell a few things that I didn't really care to keep moving around, with a little bit of success. But mostly I'm moving so that I have more room for all of my stuff, lol.

and 6 months later when you're already out of room you'll be saying "what the hell happened to all that extra space?". More room for stuff just = more stuff. Trust me, this has happened to me very quickly since I moved. Hah, and I thought moving into this place would fix that problem, but I ended up just as short on space because I naturally just filled up all the new space.

Oh, I know it. There will be more storage space and way more hard pack parking space. It won't be long before I'm right back where I started. But the house is well over double the size, so the family will have the room they need too.
