Maine

Thats what I did. Bought a pro gun and hammered about 3/4 of a gallon of WW on her.

 

Basically avoid engine & driveline and its have at it? Obviously that is an over simplification and I won't really want to be spraying up the sides of of body panels.

 

My experience with wool wax has been to just lay it on everywhere. Rockers, shackles, everything but exhaust and engine. Last truck I did I put on probably a gallon and a half since it was the trucks first undercoating.

 

Yup. I coated the shit out of everything except the hot bits. I got a little overspray on the exhaust by accident, it burned off.

 

Try to avoid the exhaust and brakes obviously, otherwise just lay it on there pretty good. Make sure whatever kit you buy has the extended 360* spray nozzle so you can get into the boxed section of frame in the front of the truck, the frame behind the gas tank, and inside crossmembers. Also up under the receiver hitch / rear bumper area accumulates a lot of shit, so pay special attention there too.

Oh and wear old clothes.

 

I sprayed my exhaust manifold bolts. Started it up for 2 min. Let it sit overnight. Then drove it

 

I used to dip my Chevy. Got a good even coat that way.

 

Worth removing the tailgate, opening it up and spraying the mounting points on the truck and inside bottom area of the tailgate imo

i wanted to cosmoline the locks on my campershell windows, tailgate, and thule crossbars too but i didnt want to make them sticky. Ive seen folks locks weeping rust in parking lots

 

Love the detective & onlookers in the background.

Thanks everyone for the advice!

 

I also have a fluid film spray kit if you want it, also have a gallon of fluid film.

 

@Spare Parts where are you?

 

Saco

 

Bummer! I'm back up in Bar Harbor now. Thank you for the offer.

 

I will concur he was thorough, took about an hour, worth it as he was getting every inch underneath, and then asked you to look to see if he might have missed something.

 

Now that's good service!

 

I just pulled out my winter beater.

 

Yup I will second that. A bit of a drive for me, but worth it for sure.

Here is his ad again if anyone doenst want to pay an arm and leg at a shop

 

Hello, Mainahs!
I am on the search for a Tacoma specialist in the Central/Southern Maine area.
Getting tired of sussing out problems myself, despite my trusted mechanic, and others, checking it out, finding nothing 'too bad' to then have the lesser issue become a problem.

 

Parry Motors in Portland has a good reputation.

 

Dealer or private?
