    Went to dealer today. My truck was inspected two years ago and in the system.. I asked if they did the rustproof then. I was informed that there is no way to do that... Iirc the dealer was sposed to do it when it was inspected...
    Am I all wet here?

    you have two statements in there.

    1 you took it in and they looked at it, correct?

    2 the rustproofing is no longer available, so they are correct in that

    if your frame was not sprayed back when it was inspected it may have "passed" Toyota's assessment and not needed. if they failed to do it that's a whole other story

    Yeah, there was zero rust... I'm gonna take it in for inspection one month before the deadline... So I understand that if there's any rust, do they rust proof the whole thing or just affected parts?

    no, they don't rustproof anything anymore. that was over back in 2011.

    if the frame was inspected then they have to honor the warranty, just make sure you have records too
