I wash mine down about ever other week at the car wash just to get that salt crap off of it. Yeah my back bumper is bad too I pray every time I drive for someone to rear end me lol

 

Hahaha. On mine it looks like it started to rust then the last owner (supposedly the detailer at the dealer we bought it) just took a paint can and painted right over it. But now its starting to rust again so i'm gonna take it off and redo it properly in the summer. Other then that theres is really no rust except theres a tiny bit on that thin strip of metal under the cab. Nothing else. Well okay the hitch a little too but thats it lol.

 

Yeah its easy to do if you have a painted bumper but I have chrome so im pretty much screwed lol and yeah my pinch weld on my cab is rusty too but I also have a hole in my cab corner so that needs fixed but I figure if I throw it on the lift I can fix all the rust in about a day.

 

That blows dude oh well. Yeah thats the word I was looking for pinch weld lol. Mine is kind of bent too it's not straight all the way probably from when I bottomed out a little haha. I had to change my shorts after that I thought I really messed something up but nope just a little grass next time I have to watch the angle of the ditch when leaving farm fields lol. And sounds like a summer job during the day when youre bored.

 

Yeah I've had a few of those moments but not in my truck lol and I have to fix it before school is if I dont I cant use the lift in the shop plus I have access to a welder and everything else and dont have to pay for it lol

 

Well at least you get lift access thats awesome. But yeah we have a welder, I just don't know how to use it yet lol. And yes now I'm very careful about what angle I go up and down thing hahaha learned that one pretty quick about these trucks.

 

Yeah its pretty awesome! lift,any tool you can think of,tire machine,alignment machine, paint booth. Yeah my hitch likes to scrape but other than that its not bad. My skid plates have come in handy couple times tho

 

Yeah if I try doin anything thats gonna need protection of skid plates I'm done... haha. Dang thats sweet tho especially the alignment machine and paint booth. You can only do so much in a garage without messing it up too bad.

 

Well I drive close to my tree stand at camp so it requires crossing a few washouts and over 2 dirt piles to get within a 1/2 miles of my stand. I got a truck might as well use it as one lol

 

Nice that sounds like fun an its good your using her the way she was made to be used (sounds kinda messed up but whatever haha). And I use mine too, i just have to watch what I'm getting myself into more carefully lol. Anyways sorry about threadjacking you I got off topic back there a little bit
