MARYLAND TACOMAS

Looks like rain tomorrow!

And to not be a party pooper, have a wonderful cake day @Gen1TacoLady

 

I have! Very much.

 

Thank you gentlemen!

 

Thanks but i stay FAR away from those 3.0 toyota trucks.

 

Good to know

 

The 3.0L camrys were great engines. But the truck 3.0's were junk. Like mentioned hg & head issues.

 

Umm not even 500 miles and only seen rain twice and already some rust starting on the welds? Are these frames really that bad?

 

Tons of threads on here discussing this in painstaking detail.

Many treat with woolwax or fluid film or similar. Your frame probably came like that from the factory. It’s treated metal.

If you plan on driving in salt and snow and rain here in the Northeast, the consensus is typically “treat it”

 

Geez. I got mine professionally coated/sealed and it came with a 10 year warranty. Did it last year, because I noticed a little rust already forming and have heard that these frames are notorious for that.

It’s the best money I’ve spent on the truck in terms of longevity.

 

Part out?

 

I’ll take the frame and everything attached to it

 

Anyone have local shop recommendations for fluidfilm/woolwax/cosmoline/etc? I haven't been doing it cause the truck looked fantastic when I bought it. However, It's starting to show rust, as expected.

Thank you

 

No prob!

 

That is really a full service shop, I could spend a lot more money than I have to spend there

 

Best recommendation is to move to a warmer/less humid climate

 

You ain't kidding, Arizona looks nice (until you see the summertime temps )

 

Right? It can be dangerous lol

 

Montana. Right, @Road_Warrior ?

Wait, I said warmer
