hey. is there any known way to prevent the typical rusted out frame that early toyotas (early 80's) get after years? or is it just poor cleaning? rarely have i ever seen one in stock condition and it not be rusted out or at the worst broke! i was just wondering if theres any thing special i should do when i fix man and get it back on the road. any thought would be greatly appriciated

If you never drive in the rain or snow and keep it in a climate controled garage it should last longer. Move to southwest

The only thing you can really do is keep a close watch on it don`t play in the mud or road salt without washing it off .

remove the loose undercoating as the moisture gets behind and can`t get out. Then rusts

 

oh well lol. thts wat i sot mine for was the snow and mud lol. it was just a though

 

Get some POR 15 hardnose. It's similar to the regular POR 15 but tougher and resistant to UV, so there is no way it's ever going to wear out. It encapsulates the rust.

 

thanks man. just mite do that

 

Frames rust from the inside out. How is por going to fix that. If I had to do it over I would have sprayed yearly oil up inside the frame via a loooong flexible wand.

 

hmmm. didnt think bout tht. the por wont help. :/

 

I know the rust , my truck grew up in NH. My prob is a window seal at this time. Dang rust.

 

that sux. this new project i got was rusted bad. gotta box the left side frame rail behind the cab. and get a new winder seal. and patch the floor. lol. its gettin there though
