Rust

I think it was over at IH8MUD where I saw a guy that galvanized his 80 series frame... pretty sure he left it like that as well, rocking the undercarriage BLING

 

FJ-40... not 80, sorry https://forum.ih8mud.com/threads/galvanizing-a-fj40-frame.681495/

can you tell if it started from the outside (from maybe a rock chip?) or inside the wheel well where the splash guards connect to the metal?
are your door jams/door sills 0k?

 

The bed rust started when it sat outside waiting for a new frame at the dealer. I was so mad! My dad always kept it in his garage. Sadly, it's sitting in our field because it won't fit in the garage with my dad's truck and tools. I helped him buy a shed for the tools so my truck can go back in the garage. I'm hoping it gets delivered soon because my poor truck is rotting away out there! I didn't see any rust inside the wheel well. If there's any rust on the cab or doors it's just specks. My dad's 2011 Tundra that he bought last year has rust specks. There's also a lot of rust under the plastic bed liner. We're both gonna take our trucks in to get Line X in the beds. I wish my dad would've done that to my truck years ago. It also has a plastic bed liner. I bet it ain't too pretty under there!
