    Hi all,
    My 01 had the frame replaced before I bought it and I would like to keep it as rust free as possible. Ohio winters can be tough with the salt etc. I'm in the process of replacing little things now, nuts, bolts etc that are rusty just to spruce it up a bit. After I finish this I would like to get it undercoated professionaly. I did some searching on here and not much came up. I was looking at Krown and ziebart. Any experience with these? I have a Krown dealer not to far from me that charges 200$ once per year to coat it. They drill small holes and spray the solution in doors etc then put a grommet in and also do underneath. Also ziebart dealers around. I think they are a 1 time deal only. Thanks

    Its a top notch product, and best if all its canadian. Was made for sea planes and is not bad for the enviroment. Just had my gen1 tundra sprayed. I even enjoy the smell of it burning off.

    +1 for Krown. Undoubtedly there will be a few folks in the thread suggesting doing the application yourself of fluid film or what have you. There is no comparison to professional application of Krown. It's been proven in Canada for generations in much harsher conditions than what we face south of the border. Go for it. It's worth it.

    Thanks. Yes I was impressed by krown after reading up on it. I'm not going the diy route on this. I would rather pay and have it done right with the peace of mind. I can handle 200$ once a yr.
