hmmm .. I hope i'm not wasting my time .. I only have 5 years on a previous frame coat , and so far no problems

did you do the wash, clean , metal ready ... ect.. steps ?


I think it might work fine for you... might not, I can't say.

I spent over $350 and numerous hours prepping that dang 4Runner. I POR-15'd everything. Scrubbed it clean, washed, cleaned w/ the POR-15 cleaner, Metal Ready, then POR-15 when the parts were ready. Used two coats, even.

I've just never had good luck w/ it. Others swear by it. If it were me doing things again, I'd blast, etch prime, prime, paint and clear coat everything. But I'm a glutton for punishment as well. smile

Roll Me Over
I POR'd my frame when they were saying "right over the rust" so i cleaned it up decently and brushed it on.
First winter, i went to powerwash the frame and the stuff came right off (i powerwash my frame every week in the winter time)... from then on, i just put a layer of tremclad on every year....

Tank looks good. Where did you get it from and what did it cost?

dont know if you can see in the previous pic or not .. but the pressure line on the sender is gone .. and the other pipe is rusted .. so

I had to fix .

I drilled out the old pipes , and started to manufacture my own .

The /84 holder didnt fit as "perfect" as I wanted .. so I bent the fuel pump holder , and fit .. bend and fit .. now it fits exactly where I want .. and to go with it .. new pipes .

bent up the PRESSURE pipe ..

and the return line

saudered , zinc'd and installed ..
