Should have spent 2 hours per year oil undercoating the chassis frame doors crossmembers all panels suspension fenders box . Been doing my cars trucks trailers for decades if done correctly it saves them . My 1992 tracker is mint despite being driven in the salt belt . Recently I did a minor rest0 on a 2011 f150 4x4 the rockers and cab corners were destroyed by once welded in new ones and painted I drilled 1/2 holes in pillars and rockers and mixed light oil and asphalt liquid roof coating and some kerosene into the holes and then undercoating plugs . After I completed all the brakes and replaced front struts and got front 4x4 working i power washed the entire chassis frame inside and out and sprayed it with dilute phosphoric acid let it sit over night . One the chassis was dry painted the frame with machinery rust paint and let it dry then oil undercoated every thing including all internal boxed in frame sections crossmembers . The f150 will be oiled annually and touched up . This month I will be lifting up carpets and applying some used atf and some heavy oil to the floor putting plastic clear plastic sheeting then carpet . I like driving older cars truck that look and drive like new for a fraction of the cost of new ones. One nice thing about oil undercoating is all your bolts are easily removed especially after a few annually applications 👍👍

ive only had this vehicle for about two years, and its been a rolling project since i got it. Its funny you mention that about coating the frame because within the past month i have coated the whole underside with new synthetic atf. ive defenitely had some heat shields rattle loose because of the oil. I wish i knew about oil coatings even 2 years ago. It really does help to stop rust in it's tracks. Cheers

@@lightninghouse6385 do it annually if your exposed to salt like me in Ontario near Detroit. But if you don’t see winter salt every 2 years would work humidity even rusts cars in the south also and storage in garages all panels and under carriage pick up condensation which drips into welds and seams
