Short, sweet and to the point. I agree, protecting the frame is of the utmost importance with Toyota’s. It’s ashame that the manufacturer doesn’t do a better job with this especially knowing the history. It was interesting, that you had several examples at the dealership of bad frames. Thankfully, I don’t live in the rust belt so rust isn’t as common. Great job!

Wholeheartedly agreed! One of the first things I did when I got my FJ was to wire brush the surface rust and liberally coat the frame inside and out with Surface Shield. It was a messy, tedious job, but I feel so much better knowing I've got the frame treated against further rust. Granted, I think I'm going to take it to Line-X as well when it comes time to treat it again. ~laughs~

Good video-I live in NH and purchased a 2023 white 40th year 4Runner and I had the dealership put waxoyl treatment to the undercarriage before I picked it up, that is another great product endorsed by all auto makers-anyone that lives in the rust belt should treat their undercarriage- the treatment cost was 850 dollars and is guaranteed for the life of the vehicle-not cheap but worth it!!

Main thing is to hose down the underside after winter. Get rid of the salt. Inspect sand and apply POR15. Most owners never bother to go underside. But they will put a million coats of wax on the paint.

@VikingsGarage 8 ай бұрын

This is very true.

@JoeBuck-uc3bl Ай бұрын

An underside treatment is a moist barrier, that’s supposed to stay moist (an be reapplied at certain intervals). Hosing down the underside is to be avoided if you get these treatments done, you’re washing your barrier off!! Hosing and cleaning salt off the underside is a better move for people who do not get oil based treatments done though.

ugh!!! just bought a new 4 Runner and guess I should have done more research. paint protection because it sits outside and now rustproofing because I live in Pa. I've been reading on forum everyone's opinion. not being mechanically inclined I was thinking of having a line-x place do it as there is one in York pa which is close. I will call tomorrow to get a price. However, I am being told that I should remove the spare tire and skid plate. Ummm no. also being told that depending on the person doing the work they may or may not do these things and perhaps strip a bolt since they work on time. this is all very depressing as I was just looking forward to 10-15 years of happy driving without all the extra worrisome details of frame rust and do it myself work and preparation. oh well. thanks for your video and wish you luck and fun in your truck. I didn't notice if you removed your skid plate or not, but you are far more experienced than a retired teacher in these things. I do not know how or even want to remove the spare tire as I know there will be a problem arise in that procedure.

Now I have 10500 miles on it so after Iwatched your video I decided to do the same including treating all the body and frame cavities with the VG 101 product and with the VG 160 undercoating. Hanover Offroad in Hanover Pa. did mine and I couldn't be happier. They removed the spare tire, TRD skid plate, and wheels and covered everything that wasn't supposed to get sprayed. Real professional job! My question is what about all the factory frame holes? My frame has 65 factory holes that I can see! Is there a reason for this? Let water escape and evaporate? I've read there is a plug kit from Toyota for $50 but I doubt there's enough plugs in one kit to do them all. What are your thoughts in regard to your 2022?

Actually newer metal isn't much better. The sealants maybe. The metal used is the issue and thickness.

@VikingsGarage Жыл бұрын

Correct, I’ve been told the metal their using is not as strong or durable as the ones in the past.

@@VikingsGarage You had the coating done on the outside... but did they also line-x the inside of the frame or did you do something else for that?

Why does Toyota have so many rusting frames my old Chevy 2001 1500 z71 was 14 years no frame issues

@VikingsGarage 4 ай бұрын

They really should get a grip on that already. Such great and reliable vehicles, give it a fitting frame also. 🤷🏼‍♂️

Is there anything you told them NOT to spray? I’d hate to mess up the warranty or future maintenance.

@oros9112 Жыл бұрын

I’d be interested too to know.

@VikingsGarage Жыл бұрын

No, this stuff works to protect not damage. They do tell you to tape up whatever you don’t want sprayed. I would call them with any further questions, super helpful. I am the warranty 😎

@Kenyanballa91 the dealership, set that search parameter on a few car buying sites along with notifications. By the way one a good one comes up, don’t sleep on it. Leave a deposit immediately

Question......Did they also coat the inside of the frame?

It’s the outside only.

I don’t really remember. If you reach out to the guys at LINEX they would be able to assist you on that one.

Toyota needs to keep the TRD colors exclusive. They ruined Moon Rock and Army Green. Kept them, and also put them on base models for 3 years...

I got a better idea. I’m gonna buy a cheap sacrificial piece of crap vehicle…and my 4Runner will never ever ever be exposed to road salt. I will always refuse to drive it until after the first rainfall after roads have been salted. If Sammy Mayday Malone can refuse to drive his Corvette at high noon…then I could refuse to expose my “Forever 4Runner” to salt! That’s not all, the sacrificial piece of crap will also routinely share the mileage and keep the 4Runner mileage lower. It will be used for trips in congested areas with tight parking spots, and/or shady areas (in either case, situations where there’s a heightened possibility that it’ll get dinged or messed with). It will be much better on gas, so I’ll save money that way at least. AND I’m still gonna get the frame coated with an oil based treatments!!
