Tacoma Frame

Frame looks great! Don't let Tw make you paranoid about it.

 

The reoccurring rust at weld sites is a mix of things including contamination that isn’t fully cleaned when the frame is originally painted, a change in the base metallurgy and whatever they are using for filler.

 

@Mateo74 i definitely was getting paranoid lol thanks for the confidence appreciate the comment.

 

That frame is solid. No frame up north is completely spotless regardless of what car/truck you buy. But that frame has been taken care of. Coat it with fluid film before every winter and it will outlast you.

 

Seems to me you're still paranoid as you resurrected a 5 year old thread earlier tonight with your post asking the exact same thing yet again.

 

That frame has been painted . If it was me I would wire wheel / hand wire brush the rust areas showing. I would apply Opho , Eastwood primer . Eastwood black chassis paint and Amsoil heavy duty metal protector. All of the above steps apply 2 coats where proper PPE and read the directions. + 1 for the post about Eastwood internal frame protector get the 360 deg. nozzle attachment.

I cut an old garden hose clamped to the A/C condensate drain on passenger side fire wall and ran the hose outside the frame. Winter is coming GL
