Another “how’s my rust/frame” post

Rotated my tires yesterday and decided to take a couple snaps.

let me know what you think. Might do a little rust reformer in the fall to spruce things up a bit.

Wow
Keep a close eye on it
What state ?

 

NJ and I think it’s always been a Pa/Ny truck

 

That's why I highly recommend getting yearly rustproofing!

 

Yea I’ll prob do something in sept or oct when it’s not so hot

I got the truck in April to satisfy my truck itch. I might be moving on to a new taco or tundra in a year or so. It’s not my daily driver by any stretch. This really is to tide me over until everything else in my life aligns.

 

I would start working on getting the rust off right now and treating it right now, even doing it in sections in your spare time. Looks to be extensive and unfortunately out of the free frame replacement time frame. Treating it will also help with the resale value if your intentions are to sell.

 

Mine looked better than that, and they found a hole in it. New frame. Best you can do, like said, is get on it asap and hope for the best.

 

Yea sept is right around the corner and I already purchased the wire wheels for the drills and reformer. It’s just been 100 degrees every weekend
