Finally Got it dirty!

ZcrazyG · 08-27-2008, 07:15 PM

So i finally went out and got the truck dirty the other day while i was in south texas. Took the truck out to the mudflats on the way to the ferry and got in some pretty deep mud. WOOT sorry no pics but the truck handled nice and all but now...holy hell there is rust EVERYWHERE! literally anything that was somewhat shiny on the bottom and even not is covered in rust. Took like 4 days and holy crap...i got some wirebrushing to do! mY poor baby is all rusting now. i gotta fix her! anyone got some good rust prevention tips or am i jsut gonna have to suck it up and get under there with a wire brush and a can of spray paint till i can take stuff off the right way and totally repaint it with something? I really need to do somethign about the rust i think!...makes me sad.
