F250 guy here! Im about to embark on cleaning and protecting at least the rear frame under bed soon. This was very helpful!

Bit of a random thought, but have you ever considered getting a frame dipped and galvanized? Its common to do here in the UK and will last forever practically.
@6thGearGarage Жыл бұрын
Sandblasting and powdercoating is more common here, but I don't know of anyone near my area doing galvanizing.

Angle grinder with a cut-off wheel for the spring bolts, I just did mine, the inner sleeve was rusted to the bolt, and they would not come out the way you did yours. Great video. Jim

I coated my frame with eastwoods rust encapsulator. I thought mine was bad because it had light surface rust. We don’t get rust here in Georgia. I wanted it to looks really clean and I think it’s a good product.

This is fantastic, exactly the kind of stuff I want to see. How does this compare to sandblasting to bare metal and powder coating? A lot less expensive I guess, but how does it compare in terms of durability, pretty good? Thanks for sharing!! Edit, I see after I paused to comment that you addressed durability. Looks pretty nice. Thanks again for sharing all this toyota truck 22RE stuff, I simply cant get enough of it from you, love your videos. Thanks.

I use ziplock bags and label everything, but sometimes if I'm in a hurry I'll set bolts down in the garage and once that happens a few times in one day I end up with mystery bolts :) Then I have to go back and watch these videos for help!

Your easiest front brake upgrade for your 86 would be to swap 1-ton parts. I showed how to in this video:kzbin.info/www/bejne/aaOpaIpraqmol7M
@chasestafford45929 ай бұрын
I'm curious, did you also coat the inside of the frame with anything or is it still bare? My fear would be that the exposed rust in the frame would just start eating from the inside out if the inside was left untouched.
@6thGearGarage9 ай бұрын
Yes I did with fluid film, but wanted to wait until I was done notching/welding the frame so that the welds wouldn't be contaminated. kzbin.info/www/bejne/aKrUdWCddrunias Around 5:30 in this video I sprayed the inside with Fluid Film.

It was interesting to see the dismantling of the front end of your project Toyota ute it is similar to my Hilux and new rear springs well a previous owner put new springs in my Hilux because it is GVM is 2700 kilograms and the tare weight is 1200 kilograms my can carry up to 1500 kilograms so it gives a crash ride but l am used to the ride because l was a courier and owned three utes before this one

I know the feeling. My lifted 1985 has very stiff leaf springs. I keep some extra weight in the bed to help soften the ride.

@@6thGearGarage ln N.S.W Australia we have yearly registration inspections and my Hilux has GVM of 2700 kilograms and a tare weight of 1200 kilograms and it has to be able to carry 1500 kilograms so if l even remove one leaf it may fail because the inspector takes it for a drive also with the inspections no emission test so l have to put up with the crash ride it doesn't worry me because l had a few utes with crash rides

sorry, this is faaar from being a rusty frame, it has at most some surface rust that some of it even came off when you pressure washed it
@6thGearGarage Жыл бұрын
This is surface rust, which is perfect for a rust inhibitor. A crusty/holy frame like most of the other toyotas on the channel aren't worth painting IMO, because the rust will just continue under the paint over time. For something bad, I'd just fluid film annually.
