whos looking to have Fluid film undercoating!!!

Is the 4R more prone to rust? I have owned many vehicles, all in the NE winters and never suffered a drop of rust before.
 
I might be interested. In Southern CT near the NY border, so it would be a bit of a trip but seems like it's worth it. Curious how long it takes, pricing, and if this can be done on a weekend?

Unless you buy a new car every few years or have a very consistent wash regimen during the winter months, I don't see how that's possible. I'm in the Great Lakes region. Salt gets put on the roads in the winter, and there are tons of cars here with rust on them.

I believe him, depending on the car. I had a Subaru Outback before my 4Runner, which spent 8 winters in Michigan and Utah (another state notorious for prolific use of road salt), and got washed probably 6 times the entire time I owned it. When I traded that car in, there wasn't a speck of rust on the body or anywhere on the undercarriage. I mean even the nuts and bolts had zero visible rust. The only place there was any rust at all was on the oil pan drain plug where I had carelessly rounded some of the corners changing my oil years earlier.

So yes, 4Runners are more rust prone than other vehicles.

I own more than one, and yes usually I don't hold onto most for that long. But usually there is one that I do keep for a while. I don't give them any unusual attention in the winter and drive them and enjoy them. They are all garage kept. But with driving in harsh conditions, and never doing any special underbody coating or other, they have never shown a spot of rust.
 
i have done prob over 100 toyotas and countless chevys, fords and dodges and i have never seen any without some kind of rust esp living in NJ .

Interesting. I have also owned many vehicles, in nyc/northern nj and have never once had rust. But most of mine were German. No domestic.

Where are you in NJ? Do you have your own shop? How much to have 4runner done? I’m thinking of having it done on my new 2020 Pro.
 
[MENTION=156553]dedonderosa[/MENTION] kind of a random question - do you know anyone doing undercoating in New England (preferably not too far from Boston) that you would refer? I want to get mine done but NJ is kind of a haul for me.

Thanks!
