@MrRichierich1990 Undercoating when new does help, but the problem with fully boxed frames is that they hold moisture, salt, dirt, etc. They rust from the inside out, where it is not as easy to clean.
@toocheaptosmoke Eastwood sells a boxed-in frame coating in a spray can with a nozzle. Expensive for a can of paint especially when you need at least 3 cans to do the job, but oh well. I got frame rust too, but not as bad. I'll be attacking the frame with paint this year.
Most Japanese imports had rusting issues because the vehicles were designed to be used in Japan. In the U.S., particularly in California, there was the factory option to powdercoat the frame for an extra couple of hundred dollars. It's worth it. I have a '90 4Runner with the frame coated, and if I rub off the dust and dirt, it looks just as black as when it was new. There is even less rust than on domestic frames. Also, I live right next to the beach.
@taitai907 Domestic frames are designed to flash rust same as the crank pulley this is so the frame doesn't rust completely through. The problem is, is even new toyota's still have this problem that's why they're junk! What they don't have snow in Japan? Get real dude Toyota blows!
@FuckToyota440 Toyotas have rust problems, domestics have mechanical problems. Better to have a rusty frame than a fucked up transmission, camshaft. crankshaft, or fuel injectors, the latter four of which I've had only on multiple Fords and Chevies but never on a Toyota. Rusty frames are a pain in the ass, but it's cheaper than an engine swap.
@taitai907 I completely disagree, I have never had any mechanical problems with any Fords i've owned and 2 of them well over 200,000 miles, just regular maintenence. Second off a completely rusted through frame is much more dangerous and expensive than a mechanical engine defect. Third off Toyota has had many complaints about engine sludge build up and seize in their v6 motors, do a little research and you'll find out that Toyota is junk and a cover up specialist!
I completely disagree, I have have significantly large amounts of mechanical problems with many Fords and Chevies, and my friends and family have owned 60+ most under 200,000 many of which have had more than regular maintenance. My family, friends, and I have 40+ Toyotas, 4 of which have over 400,000 miles with less than regular maintenance and no problems. Also, Ford lied and people died (i.e. Pinto). Do some research and you'll find that domestics are no less junk than Toyota.
@wokeupthismorning100 Obviously you don't know what the lemon law is so go look it up and get back to me. Until then shut the fuck up and go fuck yourself you flaming faggot!
@FuckToyota440 uhh no frame rot happens because A. Poor maintenance or B. Age.
I've seen rusty undercarriages of 5, 6, 7 year old Grand Caravans, but will you admit that. Search on Google "frame rot (insert brand here)". Frame maintenance is a common part of keeping a car running. No rust on my Tacoma yet. The reason Toyota haters are not taken seriously is because they are crazy, demented, and use outdated data. You're the cigarette here.
I have a 2004 tundra that has a rotten bed. I have a video of me removing the spray in liner with a torch. I'm on day 4 still not done with the flat part. Toyota tells me the 2004 model year does not have a problem. Check out my rusty tundra video to see my inspection holes!
Hahahahaha that was hilarious... I guess you can have a sense of humour on a truck like that. I just bought a car with a pristine body that had a frame rot issue I didn't discover until later. I'm not laughing... These asshole manufacturers could do a few tiny little things to completely eliminate this issue (add more nickel to their alloys, durable coating at the factory level) but they don't. This is a 'deliberately made to fail' thing. They want these cars rotting so we have to buy new ones.
@thefarmfred1 Oh I believe ya. This was actually a california truck originally, moved to PA sometime in the 90's. Most of the solid axle toys are long gone in this area.
what if u undercoat them when theyre new? would this still happen?
