Tundra undercarrage detail.

I'm deeply offended that the spare tire isn't properly dressed. Unacceptable.



:grinno:

Great, now I see this and I have to go do it. I could've read a nice book in that time period.

Looks great, but I just have to wonder what the point of a clean frame is. I'm not prepared to waste my life being that anal. I have kids to watch grow up. The interior of that truck must be something to behold!

well, what's the point of a clean anything???? i am most likley not prepaired to waste my time doing something that you get pleasure from either. i do this because it gives me pleasure. when i sell my vehicles (every two years), the first person that looks at it always buys it for premium bucks. i wonder if the underside could have anything to do with it? oh well.... i guess not!!!!!! NOT. anyway,different strokes......

just had a question would cleaning with simple green not take away any anti rust type coating from the factory? I want to do this to my miata but am I a bit afraid

This isn't the cut-and-dried answer you'd probably like, but a) my Mazdas doesn't have any factory applied undercoating that a solvent would take off (but then they're not Miatas either), b) products like Simple Green usually don't remove such things if you don't let the Simple Green dwell very long and/or you don't scrub, c) it's sorta a catch-22 because if you don't really *degrease* the undercarriage if it needs it you won't really get it clean, but if you *do* degrease it you'll sorta run the risk of "degreasing the undercoating right off". Cleaning agents don't discriminate between good stuff (undercoating) and bad stuff (undercar grime). The only thing you can hope for is that the undercoating is more firmly adhered than the stuff you want to clean off.



I wouldn't worry much about it. If you *do* clean off something you want on there, I'd spray some wax-based undercoating back on the exposed places. I like the Wurth brand stuff. Just don't go spraying your Simple Green into inaccessible areas if you think there's anti-rust stuff in those places.
