What is this?

Damn that's a good idea.

 

Rusty truck undersides want to be sprayed off with fresh water, allowed to dry, and then sprayed with bar chain oil.

 

It's his right to choose.

 

I’ll pass on that.

 

Last time I looked, mine was like that too, but I did soak the whole truck in Fluid Film immediately after buying it...

 

I don't think you should run to the dealer for every little thing like that which is normal anyway . Take care of it yourself if it bothers you and this thread was pretty funny the diff operation was great .

 

@Grossomotto
Did you lose the bearing puller end?

 

Yes until I had to fish it out

 

Same happened here... took like 6 hours to get it out!

 

I havent crawled under my truck lately but in the fall when I applied fluid film it wasnt that rusty. Some rust , but dayyumm not that much.

 

rust, made in Thailand

 

How did you fish that out? I bet that sucked. Not much room, especially when the bearing is still in the way.

 

The actual date in January of 2019 will be on your bill of sale.....Top right..?

 

Very carefully had to drop the line in and tie it around the end piece while in the diff and pull it back out. Can’t believe it worked

 

It's called made in Thailand. Third world parts and labor equal high profit margins.

 

i just bought a 2017 2 weeks ago never having heard about frame rusting problems. toyotas are the most reliable, durable, indestructable, longest lasting trucks ever to drive upon the face of the earth. i have plans to drive this thing for 20 years, and now i find out the frame is gonna rot in half twice before then. my entire world view has been shattered. my confidence in humanity has been shaken. if i can't believe in the quality of toyota anymore, what can i believe in? I now question the very existence of God, for if there be a God, surely He would not allow something so terrible such as this to happen. my family has owned toyotas since the 90's and they have been absolutly exceptional, but this is my first toyota truck. oh the humanity.

 

I understand you are trying to be funny but personally I think you should not bring God into it .
