    just for my frame undercoated from Toyota and it’s still quite wet. Safe to take on the beach? Seems like sand will stick to it. I power wash my frame a few times a week if I’m doing some heavy beach driving. Will the power washer take the undercoating off if it’s not set?

    That stuff takes years to dry and never truly does take it from a Toyota tech. I wouldn't power wash it for a couple months unless you want to take if off.

    Do you think sand sticking to it would cause a issue? I know someone that got it done earlier then me and he said he rinsed the sand off and it was fine. But his frame was tacky where as I would say mine is pretty damn wet.

    There is a chance it may stick but i wouldn't see and issue really unless you plan on barring the truck up to it's frame rails. It will get much harder with time it's going to take a few months. The new plug kits really keep the inside of the frame sealed and that's how most tacoma's frames rot from the inside out so i wouldn't worry about how you use and maintain your truck.

    When it comes time to sell you advertise it as having a non-slip frame.
