Another rusting frame issue? Just Got A Notice From Toyota.

Do any of the Japanese made vehicles have the problem? Landcruiser, GX460-570...4Runners?

 

Really you don’t see the difference in the metallurgy? Weird.

 

Mavcoat and undercarriage spray down once a year in a salt state after 4 winters. Take care of your shit.

 

Exactly my friend.

 

Just had mine done...didn't need it, I krown every year. Just wanted the 12 yr warranty

 

"Brine" road treatments with Magnesium Chloride is so much more corrosive than the old rock salt they used to use for wintery conditions. Can't really blame the manufacturers if you do nothing on your end to protect your truck. Undercoating once or twice a year will remedy the situation. Problem solved.

^^THIS^^right here people!!!

 

I just cosmolined my sr5 chassis the other day. Should be good for a long time. Imo, its better than fluid film which only lasts about a year and you need to do it again.

 

Dang, you're right! I did miss that. How do you prove that the vehicle was "operated in" one of those states?

 

Gas receipts?

 

I’m guessing they go by the location of the vehicle when the claim is filed.

 

Pretty sure it's already documented on here. Might do a search.

 

That's what I was getting at. I know every FJ40 I've ever seen in my neck of the woods was rusted out. Once something is relegated to off road only, it doesn't last long. Not here anyway.
