    Was putting on a set of RBP 3x nerf bars(Which I love), on my Taco, and when under my truck I noticed my frame is rusting. When I say rusting I mean huge sheets of rust that can be pulled off, and my shock mounts in front and shocks are just 1 huge piece of rust. What can I do?

    Make sure you follow all the instructions for the por-15. It is NOT like paint.
    If you get it on your skin, you're gonna be wearing it for a few days.

    its all in the prep, and it does work wonders, but useless to apply like paint or undercoating - like mentioned above, follow the instructions, its NOT for bare, clean metal

    I'm predicting a recall on the early 2nd gen frames sometime in the next few years.

    Sell it or trade it in. There is no long term repair for rust, you can only slow it.
