Put some corrosion protection in the body panels.

I know there are several different products. The last one I did was either a 3M product or a Wurth Product. They sell it in a spray can with a small wand sprayer but I prefer getting quart containers and use the bulk gun with a long wand.

Search cavity wax.


Just don't apply it without putting something down under the vehicle. It will leak out and stain the drive way.

I use that same stuff. It's great .
Also don't forget to spray in the weep holes in the bottom of the doors , that seam is folded over and likes to rust .

^^^^She looks funny with stock tires

And who said lowere 4x4s are worthless. We have 14+ inches of snow on the ground and drifts in the 20" area. I did a bit of brushing off the windows and the pulled right out without an issue. Most of the roads were ok but the one side street on the way back home had the 20+" drifts. Nothing much more then 20 inches deep but the old ss bumper and undercarage were doing some plowing. I also have two 90% bald tires on the back. The fronts are brand new so that helps average to 50% tread! haha
