I am looking at a used '07 4R, 100K, on an independent lot.
Crawling under, I do not see much rust at all (we are in Eastern MA!):
- a little bit at the main beam weld seams
- some on the cross part (exhaust?) right behind the front cross beam
No special "prep" to mask more rust that I can see, a lot of dull colors...
The two banana shapes diagonal braces (1.5 ft long) attached to the front main cross beam do show rust at their "apex". The one I poked at with my nails, I was able to go through the metal.
Thoughts?
I am assuming the above braces could be replaced as they are bolted on at each end, correct?
I plan on visiting the place tomorrow, take a better look.
Other frame areas should I look at?
