Nice tip on those little square covers, I never really noticed them. I always wondered how they would have painted the inside of the rockers, I guess thats how. I pushed on them and they feel bouncy like there's a round hole under them. So where did you buy those body plugs for exact fit? Access plugs are easier than jamming a spray tube up thru the drain holes. If I do the body plugs, I can just do a quick blast with the spray gun.

i just stumbled across this thread, but y'all - POR 15 is awful. - count on not doing any weld repairs or modifications in the future; that stuff is really difficult to remove.
(and we all know these trucks like to be modded...)
POR 15 edges out DynaMat for the worst thing you can do to a vehicle, long term, IMO.

Hmm.. I removed some off my Frame with an angle grinder. I never did try to weld through it. However, challenge accepted.. Next time I use KB seal or POR-15 something. I will see how it welds through. I can tell you one thing for sure. Both those products are worthless on a mower deck.. Can not take the sandblasting of the mowing action. Will not even last a season. ;-)

You don't even need to do that. Rockers are accessible to spray from the screw holes in the door jamb. You don't even need to pop off the plastic trim.

You're telling me an angle grinder won't remove it?

Yeah the kick plate screws are another option. So yeah we have 3 access options. I'm liking the plug hole on the backside idea though cause I can give it a quick 3 second high pressure blast with spray gun while I'm doing the rest of the rig. I think I will only need to one plug per rocker cause of the spray I have at 80 psi. It will fog out the whole interior of the rocker. Any of us doing any of these ways will not be complaining about the rockers rotting out.

That will work. I like to pretend I am a kid and use my fluid gun as a super soaker. Hit all the holes in the back of the inner rocker. Yes you can acess the top of the rocker and spray down through if you wish. Having to remove a couple screws to do that but that is the 2nd option.

There is nothing wrong with either POR-15 or KB Seal if your rig lives in the rust belt. As I would rather see folks have frames left then not. If its done properly adheres to the steel quite well. I am sure I can get it off any area if I had to weld if need be or even burn through it to do repairs.
Granted other environments, like the south and west rust isn't a major issue.
one would not have to be super concerned steel rot issues.
Everyone can do as they wish as its their Rigs. As well is everyone has entitled to their opinion on any subject matter. :-)

So the criticism of POR-15 is that it sticks to metal and won't come off?
Hmm.
I'd call that a selling point!

So where can I buy those exact fit body plugs? Cause I don't want to hunt for them if I don't have to.

I might pick up this half-gallon mini sprayer from Harbor Freight, at $4.99 what's there to lose. I bought WD in gallon containers so I'll need a small sprayer. 0.5 gallon Home and Garden Sprayer. They also have larger (with wand) sprayers for $13.99 (1.25 gal) and $14.99 (2 gal)
Also, Pep Boys has a 20% off online deal at the moment, $15.99 for 1-gallon WD40. Even at their $19.99 regular price it's cheaper than buying from Harbor Freight ($24.99) or Home Depot ($21.97). You need to order online then select for store pickup.
