Tacoma 1st Gen problems

Something not mentioned yet (or I missed it) is axle seals, look for grease or gear oil on the rear wheels rims and drums.

 

change this thing to prevent that?

 

Yes but make sure they have not already failed

 

Not to highjack the thread but is has anyone used fluid film on the inside of their frames?

 

Corroseal first then fluid film inside frame.

 

you are peeking my interest
must do some DD on that corroseal vs the competition internal frame coating eastwood brand, with what i found going on inside there
i have some woolWax stuff to try, how does it differ

 

Yes definitely, I sprayed a shit ton inside the frame, in hopes that it will last longer before I coat again. I have used Correseal and haven’t had much luck with it. I have upped Ospho and it works pretty good, and is pretty cheap as well.

 

I believe it’s the same stuff, the FF kit I bought came with a gun that said wool wax, im pretty sure it’s exactly the same because it’s lanolin based. it’s made from sheep wool. Kinda like if you were to squeeze grease from a sheep

 

i was gonna try the woolwax on that splash area in the rear wheel well i had issue with FF not sticking well at all on naked steel
i must routinely power hose the salty winter slop out of my wheel wells in the winter to prevent body panel rot in the fenders and tailgate area, that is a major issue in my area!


and i hose it hard, full-blast spot-free rinse

 

i purchased woolwax because is not that stink odor of FLuid Film... ( what i read here) so the fumes are not so strong either and does a good job according to reviews

 

FF stink not too bad (to me anyways), just the drip drip all over you when you deep under spraying it gets sucky!

 

I don’t mind the smell either, to me it actually kinda smells good. Kinda sweet smelling.
It’s Kinda like gear oil, smells weird but good at the same time haha
