Default Rust!!!

Anyone else having rust issues like this? Currently soaking the bolts in pb blaster so I can remove mt running boards....this is starting to look like this on both sides of the truck from the front doors back... What's something this cost to fix? I hate seeing it!!

At least 2 times a week. Winter almost daily. I've thought about just wire wheeling it myself and do a white bedliner on it

Only way to avoid/slow down the corrosion with salted roads 8 months out of the year, You must, MUST wash under/over/around/inside daily or you get that cancer.


Or move where they don't salt the roads.

I wash the thing inside and out/under almost daily in the winter, summer time is about 2 times a week. I need to get this fixed, would a wire wheel work and then bedline after being prepped for it work?

My 01 ZR2 blazer looks nothing like this, and has been through numerous winters. It's just a toy now but still....

That's pretty gnarly. I got a Krown job done on my truck a few days after picking it up to hopefully prevent that from ever starting. I live in Michigan and they destroy us with salt lately. My car got it real bad. I faithfully washed it underneath good but the problem was that just encouraged some rust formation because it really got going last summer. I don't want to see that happen to my truck. Sorry to hear about that mate.
