I'm already missing my west coast life...just moved to Ontario in time for winter. A hole in my front bumper is already rusting around it. Before the winter I tried my own undercoating, spraying a thick grease underneath. I'm sure I'm going to say goodbye to the vehicle sooner than I am used to though. In SoCal, I thought my '86 F150 was pretty new. The '97 was mindblowing. The '02 well that's my wife's and she's from Ontario. She thinks the '02 is old...

Haha, i tried my own undercoating on my old Flareside 150...My buddy whos a body guy picked up this "Undercoating" in a gallon jug..well we soon found out after coating EVERYTHING metal that it was innerfender under coat. Come to fine out, it never ever dries...Everything known to man stuck to that poor trucks frame. Turns out he got the orange jug instead of the red jug or sumthing like that. Another lesson learned LOL

kris, it does. when i started the project and started undercoating it it dried FAST b/c it was in the middle of summer and 100*+. going to do the bumpers and grill guard with rhino liner or some cheaper spray on chit.
Sam, when was the last time you price rhino liner?? haha. F150 supposed to be budget build even tho i did put almost $4k in the engine and i haven't gotten the distributor, wires, plugs, injectors, pump, FPR, etc. for it yet. haha

I am not aware of the price of Rhino liner. I had my truck done with the Reflex brand of spray on liners. I was 300.00 to do the bed and go over the rail 2 inches. It is not as gritty as the rhino liner.
