    Almost 35k on my 2015. Had it a little over two years and live in the Northeast. Frame looks awesome - I'm a little OCD on cleaning it and I enjoy it as somewhat of a hobby. My LCAs are a different story. Compared to the frame they're hammered. They're not spent but I wanna stop them before they're completely shot. Or am I making a bunch about nothing?

    Anything I can do to stop the rot, repair or clean them up?

    Wow! I am impressed. That is a NE truck??! Damn! :eek:
    That rust doesn't look bad at all, but I can see where it would be giving you some thoughts.
    Get in there and rough it up, get that rust off then coat it with you favorite prevention method.

    Is that a northeast truck? Looks awesome. Mine looks good but not quite that good.

    Lol... To bad the truck is sold. I seriously doubt it looks like that anymore.

    No it lives in the south. I sold it last year after a friend of mine had been bugging me to sell it to him for quite a while. He finally came up with a price I couldn't turn down so I sold it to him.

    What I ended up replacing it with. FRS RS 2.0

    They only made 1000 world wide so I won't see myself coming or going. I was lucky to pick this one up getting #96 out of 1000. I took the money I made off my truck and paid cash for this. First car I've ever paid cash for. Complete loaded with everything. Leather and Alcantara throughout. Only comes in this color and forged aluminum wheels. All 1000 are like this one.
