Re: Rust proofing on a Daily??

You wax up under your truck on the body mounts and all those seams where it rusts? The places I'm talking about rusting out are bare metal. The back side of the areas that rust never had any paint and there's no way to get any on there. When you weld in rockers and such,whatever coating you put on the back gets burned off. And,the heat on metal from welding encourages rust. Like a car that burned. First hint of moisture and it's rusted uniformly. Believe me,I tried running trucks in the winter and used all sorts of ideas. I felt I was destroying them and that's when I stopped.
