A bad idea to use undercoating? Since when? I never received the memo.

I have been using undercoating on my 93 since I bought it and thanks to that I still have little to now rust developing.

Where did you hear that it was bad and what effects did they say it would cause?

Got tool box today want a diamond plate one but this was free haha

Also got rack all painted.

 

An administrator should move this to the "build up section" didnt know there was one...

 

Got this tailgate off a buddy last week. Old one latch was broke and it was all rusty had a big hole in it. this ones not bad got one patch on the bottom latch works $27 haha. gonna paint it if it ever cools off out there.

 

Got one coat on the tailgate, till i ran out of paint..

 

hey man, nice truck, not bad for $500. I bought mine for $700.

New England winters can be tough, so any paint on the chassis or steel will only help protect it from the salt. Even with no prep work, it will help hold off the rust until you properly do it. Good work =]

 

Yeah live in NH and in the woods on top of it haha but thanks man, i did wire brush the frame and prime it and undercoat it best i could with everything in the way still, gonna have it oil undercoated before winter too, had my jeep done every year helps a lot

 

Getting up early tomorrow, dads coming up with welder and some metal gonna patch those bad holes. Then getting more paint to finish up tailgate..

 

Yeah i hear ya. I live in RI and we can some bad snow as well.
I knew a mechanic that had a 93 pickup extended cab 3.0 that used to soak the chassis in all the waste oil from the shop every fall to prevent rust from forming....it worked really well haha

 

Got the tailgate finished yesterday. Patched those two holes gotta put more bondo on today. Put pictures up later.

 

Tailgates all done.

 

wanna paint mine next? lol looks good

 

Haha thanks. i bought it for $27 haha its got one little patch on the bottom..

 

Both fenders patched. Doesnt look the greatest but it was hot out got sick of playing with bondo haha and if i keep the truck im gonna scrap the side panels and get new ones anyways so didnt try to much..


Painted the bottom of the bumper..

 

Plans for next year if i keep the truck..
-Take bed off do frame up right
-Get new side panels for bed
-Go thru the engine
-Take out bench seat put in racing bucket seats
-Do whole new sound system (used to 2 12'' subs in my jeep ha)
-New exhaust
-New shocks
-Paint the whole truck
...
Not sure what else

 

'New' leafsprings

 

GOt the leafs painted. Gotta get some ubolts and shacklebolts then put them on.

 

Once i get the parts for the leafsprings and get them on just a few wiring problems horn doesnt work and drivers side front blinker then its pretty much done for now got two holes in the bed to patch. Drain the gear oil and change that along with antifreeze probly and get plates for it. Getting my Evo back this week sometime so ill be driving that anyway but atleast theyll both be ready then i can start to try and sell my jeep..

 

great progress, your getting there lol
Btw, i looked at your picture album and i saw an evo just like yours with a NH plate on the drivers side front bumper yesterday in Massachusetts.
