I've got a 91 pickup. Can someone post up a snapshot of your undercarriage, showing the stock skid plates? I've got one left over, and can't seem to find the place for it. The one I have here takes four bolts all on one side, and is about 7" x 8". I'll snap a picture of it later.

 

if its curved at the end with out the bolts its the one for the t-case

 

 

Ah ha! Thanks.

 

wow jay, clean underside!

 

seriously...

 

hahahaha!!!
thats awesome, mine is between your guys lol.
i can never get all the mud out of all thoese nooks and crannys.

 

I gave up trying to get everything clean...

After I go wheeling now, I just wash the outisde really good, and spend maybe 15-20 spraying the underside to get as much as I can... it's always raining here in Florida, so I let the wet roads and my traveling take care of the rest


But those pictures there are from the week after last new-years. Me and a WHOLE BUNCH of people went out to the woods new-years eve, had a lil party, did some crazy wheelin, and then new-year's day, well, let's just say I've never ran that 22re so hard, lol. And to top it off, I didn't wash it for about a week, and in that week I think I made another 3 trips out to the same spot in the woods and played some more.

After washing it all, the truck actually drove better! There was so much weight in mud that is was slowing me down!

 

hahhha thats epic

 

Didn't realize they had two piece driveshafts. Only on extra cabs or long beds?

 

Hehe, it doesnt look so pretty now. That was when I put my body lift on. But the paint is all chipping off. So its getting the full strip down treatment soon.. It'l look verrr purdy



Yeah Matt, the ex cabs and long box trucks had the 2 peice driveshaft. That sucker is HEAVY!

 

Just painted my underside glossy black. My theory is that glossy paint will be easier to wash mud/ road salt/ grit off than matte paint as its theoretically a smoother surface.

Once all the crap was washed off, it wasn't very rusty at all. I think it was garage kept for the first part of its life. That said, there's a couple pockets which collects mud, so those are rusty. Maybe next summer, I'll use rust bullet on those.

 

I need to borrow a power washer and go to town. Just blast everything out, rinse out the frame too. Then go nuts with gloss tremclad.
