PennSilverTaco's "Perfect 5-Lug Regular Cab" Build, Aspergers, and General BS MegaThread!

Go get it checked out at the dealer. You don't lose anything by going to see if you qualify for some type of frame treatment.

 

I have the "rhino snot"...

 

What is that?

Just what it sounds like...

They coated my frame in this black, sticky shit...

 

If they don't do shit, you should take it to a shop where they'll sand it, and coat it in something stronger.

 

I'd scale it down and put Por-15 on it especially if Toyota did your anti rust spray.

 

The rubberized undercoatings don't come off very easily and sanding or grinding without using any chemicals to soften/dissolve that shit doesn't work well.

 

Shoot, my wife's 96 had almost 170K and ran like a top when it was bought back. Her Rav4 has 164K now, same thing.

I'm at 93K, hoping for at least 200K

 

You still have about 3 years on the warranty for it. 12 years from date the truck was first put into service.

 

This is not the same shit they used on my truck, is it?!?!

 

Toyota doesn't use the Ziebart crap mentioned in the YouTube video, does it?

 

Probably not the exact same formula but if you're describing it as some sort of goop then it can't be too much different. Get the hammer and chisel out...

 

What do I put on there once I get it off? Do you think my mechanic can put the fluid film on?

 

Don't put the fluid film on until after you've Por-15'd it. Its paintable too--I would paint it after too if it were me. They replaced my frame this was route i would take

 

So I should scrape off the shit Toyota sprayed it with?

 

@TacoCarl35

So, POR-15 over the Toyota spray?

 

Did you see the above video of the 2011 GMC Sierra?

 

The Toyota product is better than nothing, I would fluid film over that. I've used fluid film for years on all my vehicles on bare frame with great results.

 

Will the stuff that Toyota sprayed my truck with cause moisture to get locked in, and rot my frame?
