Bump stop salt rot

Found this today on my 2018 Taco, wonder how many years of Maine salted roads before this rots the stop and half the frame away, not very good engineering on Toyotas part

 

After vacuming out

 

it also does a neat trick at the car wash. hit it with the high pressure wand and all the crap inside of it will shoot out right back at you.

 

Same with the gas filler neck, lol

 

Looks good to me. Soooo many vehicles start rotting in the salt belt because of little areas like this collecting crap from the road.

 

Neither is that bumpstop...

 

Wasnt sure what to call it

 

You ain't seen nothin' yet!
This is what a 300k salt belt toyota frame looks like

 

Give it a hole.

Wax or oil under coat.

 

Is your frame rotted? If not fix the misleading title.
Clickbait.

 

Put some of that filler foam,cut it flush, spray paint it black.

 

The cab mounts and main frame C channel hold a lot of sand too. I check these three areas every week in the winter.

 

Sweet baby jesus. ​

Badass the frame held up for 300k miles tho..

 

Make sure it’s closed cell foam or it will make it even more rust prone

 

That old 4R that comes to our shop is beast. The original alternator lasted 295k until the power lead corroded away

 

That foam attracts moisture like a magnet, (holding water against the frame), then brakes down. Better off getting it level and filling it with epoxy or something like that.

 

That sounds solid. Just throwin an idea out there for the OP to think outside the box. Glad everyone’s putting some feedback, now that’s thinkin with ur dipstick jimmy

 

Fluid Film it, done.
