rust prevention?
Use motor oil. It absolutely works. Oil undercoating and spraying oil into doors, tailgates, body panels, door pillars and inside the inner hood panel is very common here in VT. Police, fire and municipal vehicles are done twice a year with great results. The excess oil takes about a week to leak out and it is reccommended you don't wash it off until a week has past (the drips on the outside).
Around here in VT it cost about $30-$40 to have it done and they use motor oil. Trans fluid is not sticky enough and gear oil stinks so new or used oil is the best.

My 94 has lived in Alaska all it's life. Fairbanks since 02. No salt used or rust problem up here but my lower edge of my tailgate is rusting out. Probably bad rear window seal and no drain holes. Also starting to get some rust around the back of the rear wheel wells. It's all good though. Still love my Bronco.
