tell me about rust on this gen if you live in the rust belt!

 

only my rockers and cab corners are rusted. i wash the damn thing more than i drive it.

but i hear you

 

my rockers were starting when i sold mine, the box was due for a replacing... forward supports were shot...

 

I thought my rust was bad.. guess i wont complain haha.

 

during the time i had it parked a mouse built a nest in the rocker panels. i didnt realize this and it held moisture and mud. i had a hole a the back on my drivers side, then my passenger side rocker was noticeably thin...

 

 

Rich it looks awesome! if you want to get rid of the hellas you have let me know im in need of more fot my next project...

 

 

Finally got some new wheels and tires!

 

^ Looks good!
