Frames...Yikes!

Getting service at local dealer and this is what I see out back

 

That is pretty scarey to see.

I rather have them inside some wear house so they wont get affected by the harsh environments.

 

There was one old and seventeen new...

 

So thats 16 frames x $13k per truck = $208 000

 

Wouldnt want that scary rain or a terrifying breeze to get to them.

 

Rain/snow/ice/etc helps create rust.

 

wouldn't want them to rust out before they get installed

 

So.............

When folks have them installed under their trucks they are unaffected

 

delicate trucks..... paging volcom!!!!
I thought this was already a thing of the past? How is this still happening?

 

Inventory for replacements for '16's?

 

Better to see frames than the crusher lot.....ah memories

 

Ummm......no not really, OK yes surface rust maybe but the issue is the salt/chloride used on the roads in cold weather climates that causes scale, holes, etc that are the cause. I doubt a salt truck is going to dump it's load on a stack of frames behind a dealership.

 

I pre-ordered one for my '15.

 

That would be really mean if someone did...

 

Those were all lined up to be destroyed? A sad sight

 

Yes the dealership down the road from me in Northern VT. This was just the top lot. It was packed! Pretty sad.
A few guys on here when TW first started had the buy back take their truck to the crusher. I took this pic in 2008.

 

True but I expect the frame to be rust free once it's installed. I'm OCD and I expect something to be perfect or pretty close to perfect. Who knows, those frames could be sitting there for years.

 

I expect the frames to be rust free when they install it.

 

I hope they don't get wet or dusty sitting there.

 

That one old frame looks better than mine. Where do I sign up?
