so im noticing that....
a lot of people that live in snowy climates have unprotected frames and underbody parts.
why? i mean, most every place uses salt during the snow seasons to clear the roads, and we all know how bad that can ruin an underbody. completely reduce it to nothing.
just watching out for you guys when i say spray your unprotected frames and related parts/brackets with some sort of underbody spray. i used rustoleum and it sticks and looks great too!

They use plain gravel here in the mountains...killer on the rocker panels paint job. A coat of oil prevents rust from forming. Thats the theory behind the trans fluid, it works too for the most part.

You've obviously never been to or know anything about Flagstaff, AZ. One of my favorite places.
