Wisconsin Tacomas and bad financial advice

I have no experience with them but you might want to research "Z Tech" - looks like they are a franchise that uses those products - http://www.madisonautotrim.com/proddetail.asp?prod=Rustproofing - Z tech itself seems reputable as they are a coating used in many other applications.

Right now I am just slowly working on grinding down whatever spray on was applied to my frame (it is chipping off in chunks) - treating with eastwoods rust converter and then either spraying with their extremem chasis paint or using using the rust converter flexible coating. Inside of the frame being hit with the eastwood internal frame paint.

Keeps us posted on what you learn.

 

Well I learned that easy Toyota would descale the truck for $375 and MAT would apply the z tech undercoating for $175. I have also read a lot of conflicting reports between getting a rubberized coating vs. rustoleum paint vs. yearly applications of metal penetrating oil.

 

Anyone here going to auto motion in the dells?

 

Yes. This is my first year going. I am excited.

 

Yeah it's mine too, were camping there and I ordered a bunch of stuff yesterday for my truck and hope I can put it on in time.

 

We are also camping. I am going up with a big group of people. Mostly honda guys. A few are turbo'd and are pretty quick. I am taking my truck also but I am stock with a supercharger.

 

We have a big group from Marshfield going but nothing to crazy for cars. I'm hoping to have my long travel installed in time. What campground are you staying at?

 

Not sure the name. I think it's behind pirates cove. One guy planned it all and just collected money...lol. Made it easy on me.

Where are you staying?

 

I will be at Sherwood Forest.

 

We'll be at arrowhead. But I don't think there will be to many tacomas there so I'm sure I'll see you

 

Why isn't Wisconsin listed in the states on the forum drop down list?

 

Because there's only a hand full of tacomas on here from wisconsin

 

Smart inspected and sprayed mine.
They claimed they cleaned before spraying. I'm afraid to check, they claimed they did a curtesy inspection that they obviously did not do I would've been better with no inspection than claiming they did something that they did not.

 

Probably go Saturday.

 

Just got word my cousin will be at the import battle with his skyline clone. So I will be there sat am, but the taco won't be.

I am going to be descaling it myself this fall. It was already sprayed in 2010, but it's flaking off. Current game plan is to brush off everything from the frame, leave the bottom of the floorboards alone, and apply an oil-based penetrating undercoating like Krown. Been used in CA for years. IMO it won't chip and hold salty water in spots like the rubberized undercoating does.

 

FYI 2nd gen folks. Bull bar for sale in Madison. Not my post. http://madison.craigslist.org/pts/5586400494.html

 

Nice find! Unfortunately I don't think it would look right on my Silver Streak Mica

 

Yeah even if it could fit it to mine I would want black or red. No chrome on Ruby.

 

You can get them cheaper on eBay anyways, in the color you want also... Thanks for looking out not trying to be mean, just an FYI
