Midwest West Meets/Midwest BS Thread

Just saw the whole video.......cool shit! . I hope my truck can last like that.

 

yep, me too!
i think he has had his for a month or two longer than i have had mine

 

Oh shit......that’s awesome, I just looked down to see what you had !! I didn’t see that before....

 

except my mid west truck has been subjected to a MUCH harsher climate than his has been in
i blame IOWA for everything
he has not really ever left the state of Colorado with that truck, maybe just TX and maybe AZ or NM

 

Fluid film .......I do it religiously every late October. My underside looks mint.

 

Nebraska is a harsher climate than Colorado? LOL

if you lived in Iowa you coulda got a new frame on your truck.

also you can’t go from Colorado to Texas without going through another state

 

i have not ever heard of FF until this past year from TW
just routinely hosed it down (what i could reach) at the local ghetto wand wash and had it undercoated when i bot it

 

harsher as far as road chemicals AND humidity

and they would not give me a new frame (pre 2oo1 model)
just a check and send it to the crusher

is that other state OK?
i have to look at a map

just 50~70 miles of Oklahoma it looks like

 

yes!

 

I’m thinking of selling my newer MT tires to get into an all terrain. Let me know if you are interested, I’ll cut you a deal.

4 - 285/70/17’s Cooper STT Pro, approximately 6-7 thousand miles.

 

i have a question on your FF application
did it drip all over you while you were underneath?

i am trying to put some rustproofing spray on a 2nd gen single cab while the weather is in the 50s and making sure i hit all the 'key' spots

 

Na not too bad at all. The fluid film comes with a straw (like wd40) it’s definitely a little neater spraying it with it. The over spray is what will mostly get on you.

 

If it’s dripping, you are putting way too much on. You just need a coating, not a soaking.

 

Correct

 

Putting this out there again, if anyone is looking for 285’s......6k ish miles on them (Cooper stt pro’s) let me know. I’m looking to go into a all terrain. I’ll cut you a good deal. Pics of them a page or 2 back.......

 

oh, you didn't use a spray gun with compressor?
that is what i am trying to use, i also have the rattle cans of FF i was trying out without a straw

i will work on some pics of this 2nd gen, maybe tell me if i missed some spots that are prone to corrosion

the drive shaft was not bad (its all shiny now!), perhaps it is made of different materials than my 97 is

 

Yeah I just use 4-6 cans. I’ll go bananas with out the straw because it’s a wide spray. Then I’ll go over the tight spots or spots I missed with the straw on. ..........everything but the exhaust

 

i sprayed the 02 sensors fittings and the exhaust hangars, will that be a problem

 

Na you’ll be fine. If you do get some on your exhaust it’s not the end of the world

 

i was not sure how the 2nd gen exhaust is and what its made out of, if its like my 1st gen stock was it will eventually corrode and rot out
