9k miles and rusty rear end. My Syclone has rebuilt title and 72k miles. Zero rust on rear end. I’m sure this 9k miles Syclone has rust bubbles behind the claddings

whats your deal with the rust on none coated/ painted parts?

your truck is salvaged? ....lets think about this

something with a little surface rust that can be cleaned up or a truck that will always be worth 70% of a non smashed one


9k miles, 90k miles , 190k miles.... all the trucks are 31 years old and dont live in the same weather conditions, some are exposed to road salts or salt from sea spray. Some are exposed to desert conditions and dry out every rubber part.

Broad brush you are painting with there

9k miles? I don’t think so since it’s in Utah.
You so angry over my fact comment. 350 miles Syclone has a black rear end and clean.

im not angry at all. Im asking

Very low mileage like this one shouldn’t have any rust in any spots.
So it was probably driven in snow for few years
Bet it was using to go mountain all the times since it’s awd? Salt flat bonesville? One photo caught my eyes, white stuff on bottom of cladding? Salt?
I bet if using lift and we all will see more rust under carrier. No photo of door bottom lip as well.

This particular Sy for sale is the gentleman who passed away and left it to his wife. She spent a little time on here sourcing a few things to make is ready to sell. I don't have any other info on it, other than that. Curious to see what it goes for.

jillD. Seen her posts early on. Not going to lie the truck looks good- surface rust on the chassis is common every place on earth has climate change from hot to cold and it's not uncommon for vehicles to change in temperature also. Unless you are all storing in climate control garage or storages.

I noticed the truck started at 25 or 28 thousand I checked early morning yesterday I believe I saw 38 thousand.

My Ty has only seen salt once, and it was on a trailer for that drive, and washed right afterward. It looks pretty similar underneath. I think even high humidity can have an effect on the chassis components.
