undercoating for 85 runner
I've was able to find a great condition 85 runner about a year ago. It was a nevada vehicle but some guy brought it up here to PA.
Anyways, I've put a lot of work into her...totally rebuilt 22re, knuckles, steering, suspension work. anyways...i don't want her to fall victim to the traditional rust and rot of the northeast.
has anyone had any luck with undercoating their truck...from an expensive rhinolining to the cheaper options?
im just wondering what you all would suggest?

I know there are some companies out there that will steam clean and coat them with an anti-rust coating.
When I had my '85 the plan was to just systematically go through and wire brush then spray some 3M undercoating on it.
That's time consuming but it's the best way to do it.

This is actual undercoating - it's like a rubbery version of a bed liner if that makes any sense.
I would just go to an O'Reillys, AutoZone or Advanced Auto and see what they have - pick out a seemingly intelligent employee and see what he recommends.
Also, if you have spots with decent surface rust I would hit those with a rust converting primer (like most of Rustoleum's stuff) before coating it.
