2006 Tacoma How bad is this rust on a scale of 1-10 **Pics**

Man.... I'm just glad I don't live up north. That would make me sick considering I'm used to this:

30,000 Miles (yes, I know I've shown this picture before)







​

 

true that. Bama is just fine for me.. Rust-free too

 

Jeez, I was going to oil spray my frame this weekend. Por 15 looks like good stuff but it also looks like a boat load of work. Anyone just oil spraying their frame? I too am in Vermont but my frame looks new compared to these pictures.

 

its not just Tacomas, ive seen Chevys, Fords, and Dodge full size trucks that look like this underneath after a few years of winter driving.

 

That's not too bad. 6-7 id say.

 

That is an easy 10 in my opinion. But then again I live in the Southeastern US, even on the coast with salt water we don't have those kind of issues. I couldn't deal with all that shit, Cold, Snow, Salt and fuckin Rust!

 

I know, I was going to say the same thing! It's not a 10 for NH. A 9 would mean not passing inspection and a 10 would be structural failure in my mind. Here is a 9, my neglected '04:


A 10 would be snapped in half!

 

looks like its por15 time. id say 6-7 on rust scale, 10 on PITA scale. save it before it gets worse. or get rid of it, toyota has a corrosion warranty still i believe.

buy backs are over anyway, but they were 95.5-2000 2001 and up got new frames.

 

rust prevention the german way :

http://www.timemax.de/rostschutz-fur-schwere-falle

i.a. with dry ice

 

i dont know what that is, but it looks nice and expensive

 

Timemax is a little company in hamburg / germany.
They try to contrive new rust protection paint.
Long term tests in saltwater or dry ice blasting (like sandblasting) belong to their professional activities.
A " therapy " will cost around 2500$
It is still worth it!


Sorry for my bad englisch !

 

Just got a call from the dealer today...

My vin was on a recall for frame ...... I'll post in a new thread

 

Truck is at dealer for frame inspection. I'm pissed I spent 2 weeks sanding and scraping the frame and repainting it just to have it recalled.

 

They are replacing the frame, they found separation!!
