If only..... What I thought was going to be a quick de rust and a couple of patches is rapidly turning into a rear end rebuild.

What I don't understand is why they put in bungs like this when they are not used for owt.


They could pump in an anti corrosion fluid.

That would be clever...... Aircraft manufacturers are no better.

you guys in the UK seem to have a lot more rust issues with the jimny than us here in AUS. i'm guessing it's all that mud you play in when green laning.

It's the salt they put on the roads in winter that does it.

It's more likely something to do with the millions of tons of salt we chuck on our roads through the winter.
It just sits there in all the tight spots for months doing its thing, and then when it's time to actually go greenlaning, there's bugger all of your truck left :sick:

I'm surprised Ollie's truck has got in that state, it has always been my understanding that NZ doesn't use salt.
Correct me if I'm wrong ;)

Gus :)

EDIT So while I'm writing...Ollie says exactly the opposite...guess I was wrong all along !!!!
