I’ve convinced myself that I need to clean and treat the undercarriage/frame before exposing it to this environment. I’m very patient, my wife… not so much. Cheers!

I don't blame you a bit! Show her some of the horror photos on the Internet of 4Runner frames that have been devoured by roads in Salt States. Enjoy it when you get the chance
.
I remember looking under a 1st Gen Tundra that lived out by the beach when I was in the market for one a few years ago. It was around 7 years old at the time and the body and interior were in great shape. But when I crawled underneath, the frame had some seriously scary looking rust on it. Not surface rust like I expected, and had plenty of on my F-150. The rust on the Toyota frame was a little different color and looked
very aggressive, cancerous, and nasty. It was my first encounter with Toyota's dirty little secret, until I Googled it. Yikes!
