I have stripped most of the frame and used a rubberized undercoating on it, its the inside im worried about. I feel like if i go off-roading once ill fill the frame up with mud and shorten the life of it by half. adamzan - I am going to spray the crap out of the inside of my frame with rust stop, but im worried ill have no idea if it even covers half of it... I guess ill just do it and hope for the best jbdevega - I have cut out the really bad spots and put plates in, but when i cut them out i was able to see how bad the inside was, only way to "fix" would be replace and.... no thanks haha What else have you guys done to make sure it doesnt rot out faster than it needs to? is the stop rust/fluidfilm going to be enough on the inside?

First off, I have a 92 SE 4 door 3" body lift and cranked torsion bars to accomodate my 15 x 10 amarican racing wheels wrapped with 33x12.5 mickey thompson baja claws(got the rims and tires used for $1000 couldnt say no) I have my aftermarket stereo with a much too large sub and a lot of time into this thing. I live in saskatchewan (Canada) and am not sure how the winter will take its toll on the pathy. I have owned my pathfinder for about 6 months now, LOVE IT! but don't know if i should keep it. I have replaced the classic bad spots on the frame, patched another spot where the clamp for the running board was because the clamp held mud against the frame and rotted it there too. I have replaced the floor panels in front of the front seats, and the floor underneath the backseats needs to be replaced. What i'm wondering is, with the frame being in such bad shape on the inside (it was half full of mud when i opened it up) how long is it going to last me before it rots a hole in a different spot. I have thought about spraying the crap out of the inside as best i can with a stop rust but dont know how effective that will be anyhow. I have also replaced the rocker panels (not professionaly as im not a body man) but I put new ones on and left the hole behind them open. Is it worth keeping or should i sell it while im ahead? I also have quite a bit of mechanical work into it so the engine should be good for at least another 50,000 - 100,000k. And what did you guys do about the airbox when you put your body lift on? I ordered one of those cheep intakes off ebay Drake
