    what do you guys do to undercoat your truck? I like to do things myself, so I decided to undercoat my truck with motor oil and gear oil and cut it with diesel. put it into a spayer or spray bottle and spray the f*** out of it. I do it probably once a month. makes the truck and frame look good with having the black oil on it. plus the dirt soaks up the oil and you re apply and it gets really thick.

    Boiled Linseed oil is a lot neater then motor oil and does not attract dirt once it drys.

    I do nothing.
    Spending no time or money on frame undercoating. If mine rusts Toyota can fix it.

    I especially will not spray my frame with motor oil that holds contaminants against it.

    Mmmm, multiple trucks with freshly applied Fluid film? That must have smelled good.
