    I have a 2010 Sport and noticed while changing the oil that my frame has a lot of surface rust. Also my shocks etc look really rusty.. ? Is the surface rust normal or do I have a clunker? What to do.. who to contact?

    Will post pics soon

    Take a wire brush to it and then paint it with por-15 or magnet paint chassis saver. If you have a lot of time on your hands, do what this guy did to his frame. I put on a coat of magnet paint every summer and my frame looks great. Magnet paint comes in matte black or glossy. I went with glossy this time.You can kind of see it in this picture. You should message Marie (@HeadStrong Off-Road). She's the headstrong off-road vendor here on Tacomaworld. I just got UCAs through her. Prices cannot be beat.
