    I mean REALLY inspected it, outside, inside the rails, inside the parts that are boxed, on top as much as you can, on top of the spare tire area, the cross members and so on.

    If you did, were you happy with what you found or a bit shocked?

    This last October before I NHOU'ed it for the colder seasons. Was pleasantly surprised. The frame itself was great. The Tow Hitch honestly had more surface rust. She wasn't native to a salt state, so there's that.

    Scrubbed some tires, and knocked a dent out.
    LoL Same here but I didnt want to say it! My shits newer though, and I certainly looked under it before I bought it. Im gonna go under it and brush/clean it eventually before coating a bit. most what I saw was the beginning of surface rust on some bolts/drums etc which honestly left me somewhat unimpressed. but meh..

    Remains to be seen I bought the tires and wheels the rest came along
    Not since I bought the Truck Several years ago . I was hopping it would break but it never did.

    Now a failed brake line caused it to be parked time to fix the frame.
