    Hello,

    Been a member here for almost 3 years, and have been actively building up my Tacoma, but haven't been too active in posting about it.


    Time for a quick intro:

    I bought a two owner, 2005 4X4, TRD Sport in December of '15 that originally came from California. So as everyone in the Midwest around me is dealing with frames rotting away, and warranty issues, this thing looks unbelievably good still.

    I actually had a brand new, drove it fresh off the lot, 2015 Frontier that I turned right around and sold after 6 months. I have not even once regretted that decision!

    I came from this:

    And ended up with this:

    Looking good! Hit that frame with Fluid Film a few times a year to keep it rust free.

    This is some good advice, which I'll be using. I've been washing it regularly during the winters, certainly every time we've had road salts applied, but that's not going to stop the rust ultimately.
