Is your rear crossmember rusted out? By the looks of that latch the nearby frame underneath must be pretty rotten.

That's a good question and, frankly, I'm afraid to look.
I bought my 4R used about 3.5 years ago. It's not my daily driver, and since I've owned it I only put on about 17,000 miles. Odometer reading right now is just under 123,000. Certainly not a lot of mileage for these trucks. My concern is that this being a Northeast vehicle, it has some signs of rust and corrosion underneath. I've noticed that rear strikeplate and surrounding bolts looking worse over the last couple of years, and I don't wheel my truck at all. Hasn't seen any water crossings of any kind while I've owned it.
