Project farm is a youtube channel and he does a rough quick review of rust prevention. Might be worth a watch

Yeah frickin toyota. Maybe some day they will do a recall but doubt it. Our trucks are so old they will most likely just buy them back though but if i remember correctly they were semi generous with the prices.
I'm thinking that im gonna just paint it using some type of accessories paint like I used on my roof rack. Then I will flood the inside of the frame with either fluid film or take the advice of the welder and use transmission fluid. And coat the outside also.
I think using regular paint will make it easier to repair if it chips and if it starts to bubble and rust underneath i can clean it easier. Maybe some pof 15 in had spots.
I will try snap a few pics of one of the guys Tacomas when I pick mine up.
Although mine was a one owner he put very little miles on and it sat so the plastic trim is worn and the rust is an issue.
