    Ok, so does anyone have pics of a good frame compared to bad frame?
    I am having a hard time figuring out what holes should be there and which shouldn't.

    Good frame at 30,000 miles on my last truck. 2011 Pre-Runner.

    My 13 has 12,000 on it now and looks the same. And yes I take it off road. I'm just OCD about cleaning it and lucky I don't live where they salt the roads. Can't give you a bad frame picture but I'm sure someone else will.

    Rearview, no fair! No one can compete with that. I wish I could keep my undercarriage looking like that. You could eat off that frame. Yeesh.

    Yeah, that was my old one with a little over 30k miles on it. I pressure wash it off every time it rains. Makes it much easier to clean.

    When I change my oil and rotate my tires (every 5k miles) I start at the front and go to the back with 303 aerospace cleaner and a rag and go to town. It's a all day job but it allows me to check for any issues and makes finding issues much easier and allows me to deal with them faster. Plus, I just like a clean truck.

    I can see that...

    I have a friend who is a fireman and all he does is wash his truck then sell it to buy another one and repeats it all over again....

    Mine looks the same, it has 11k on it and his been through one winter with A LOT of salt. My frame is sticky/dusty because I fluid filmed it, but way better then rust!
