i'd believe thats a $8k truck

 

Goddamn

Is that the rust free premium charge

 

Prices out here are worse than out by you guys.

 

I think that's the 'wife told me to sell the truck' price lol

 

dude.. i went and looked at an 03 with a buddy because he wanted to buy it.. 12k.. 200k on the odo. the rear frame was welded with sheet metal to make it look like it didnt have holes.

 

Round those parts I don't trust anyone that says NO RUST like that ad. These frames rot easily and you can take care on the outside while it becomes paper thin from the inside. You just live where it's unwise to buy anything older than a couple years

 

the 02s frame is beautiful inside the frame.. its original to the truck. the outsides getting crusty. but im going to pull the bed and clean all that up.


the 3m cavity wax WORKS WONDERS inside the frame rails. this truck had it done when it was new.. no undercoating, just 3m cavity wax inside the frame rails. i check with a bore scope every oil change so if i do see something i can address it quickly

 

That frame must be made of gold

 

You might be right, it rotted and turned to gold, now it's just gold leaf with a body haha

 

i got a appointment for frame/body work tomorrow its a quote. new rubber, seals, frame reinforcing, paint and frame coating.

 

Wait...what?

You could get the coilbucket reinforcement done at the same time to get your LT installed.

 

painting the outside of the frame does nothing, its the inside that needs attention.
you want 3m wax or a coating like eastwoods internal coating..

We've got a combined 686 pictures/videos on the share drive so far

 

these guys wont install the LT but they will do the coil buckets and uca and lca mount reinforcement.

 

That's what I said.

 

coating on the outside has some surface rust and inside for sure. and thats what im using the eastwood stuff.

 

sorry i read it like they could install the LT lol.

 

I need to do the tundra still.. no major rust yet inside.. very minor surface rust.. im going to take it to work and use the shit we use for doing the 3rd gen taco frame recall spray.

 

i found a tiny rust hole in my rocker panel. its literally 1.2mm big found it today. they're going to fix that issue and redo the cable grommets for the cab which caused the rust. one of them popped loose and let water in. its a minor fix also my tailgate is going to be fixed as well as couple of dents from the PO.

 

i have a buddy that lives close to me selling a taco tailgate thats mint.
