    Got the patio shed set up today after spending several hours rustproofing my trucks for winter. I'll move a cord up next. PXL_20241102_205736130.jpg

    about 10 feet to the walk in door, then about 20 feet to the stove. The racks are just to hold the tin roof frame.

    What did you use on the trucks? I’ve been using rattle cans of FluidFilm.

    I used FF for a number of years, no
    Complaints. Switched over to wool wax mostly because it was cheaper. Bought 5 gallons and the spray gun with wands. Takes about a hour and I’m good to go. 2007 Tacoma and I’ve done it every year since I bought it in 2010. There’s definitely rust but nowhere near what it would look like without.

    I like using the Corrosion X because it not only protects it will neutralize existing rust. I flood all the panels till it is running out the seams. Just my 2 cents.that is the aviation formula I also use the heavy duty formula on the under carriage.
