    4 run, 2 don't
    :rofl:

    I'm sure my welds would be much worse.

    But yeah as stated, I'm sure the frame is much worse than the OP thinks.

    Well I'm going to have a professional welder weld it and have it oil sprayed twice a year and hopefully it'll last me another two years because I'm going to be saving up for a new truck while I'm driving it and not putting any more money in it
    Other than oil and gas. Lol

    It might be hard to find a professional welder to weld that for you. It's a pretty big liability.

    Unless you get rid of the rust that's there, spraying it with oil doesn't really do much. Rust is like cancer, unless you get rid of it all, it'll keep growing.

    The KROWN?

    You mean like the British monarchy told you that?

    You were told what they thought would convince you to buy their product.

    It might stop NEW rust from forming, but if you don't remove the old rust, that will continue to eat away at the metal.

    KROWN is a Canadian product as far as i am aware of :notsure:
    i am no expert, i know not much about all this, still doing DD after over a year it seems lol

    if it seals off oxygen / water, it may stop existing from continuing but idk
    that is how the chemical reaction works idk

    they did not convince me when i asked about hosing the winter slop routinely off my truck like i always do he said the product would also come right off, they prohibit me from hosing it down real good for the warranty so i passed onit
