Frame Rust Revisited

***Bostonian1976*** · 03-31-2007, 04:02 PM

Peeked under the truck today after a nice day of a little offroading......and saw more rust than I expected. Now.......it's only been driven in salty weather twice and both times powerwashed underneath. I know we had this rust problem on the frame before winter even arrived. Should I care about these spots, or will they not rust further?

It seems on mine at least the powdercoat or paint on the frame is peeling off of the welds only the rest of the frame is fine .

isn't it a little odd that I should have to worry about this on such a new truck? is it possible it's treated with something that wouldn't let these spots spread?

this is the only place I happened to look.........I didn't even look at the rest of the frame

Use POR-15, you can get it at a place called Quadratec.

I did my Rubicon's frame and skid plates and was amazed at how tough it was...just paint it right over the rust and it works like magic.

Yep, The POR 15 will be useful for the Series too.....you sure you don't have any? I think it's a "first mod" for most Land Rover owners.
It chemically turns the rust into this funky black ceramic like stuff

I think it's already done.......everything under the '67 is coated in something black. I'm assuming it's this stuff?

I usually don't push products on people, but this one is the final word in rust.

Before knowing about POR-15, I would rattle can my frames (3 TJs and a CJ-7) and have to keep doing it. The POR-15 literally stops the rust and reverses the rusting process.

It costs about $28 per pint, but trust me you won't be in the least bit sorry. I was able to do the entire frame and skid plates with one small can & brush.

right on...thanks for the advice. I'll put some on.

but....is everyone having this? or was it just the early vins that got this?
