Ewwwwww , the plastic thing sorta "fell off" and revealed the uglyness. Well it didn't really fall off , I removed the one screw that was holding it on and then it fell off. lol

wow it's almost all...gone. haha. angle grinder time; clean that mess up
 






my 92 isnt any better...its actually worse, make sure you tackle that asap, dont let it get worse like mine haha the bottoms of my doors are rotting now :(
 






my 98 is the same under my plastic. I don't know what to do about it. It needs new rockers but I don't have the money to have a body shop do it. Or the tools and garage to do it myself.
 






thats the same with my 96 i dont want to take the plastic off untill i can get it fixed
 












I think cutting off the rust and bedlining whats left is a cheap and effective method.
worked for me anyway :thumbsup:
 






To be honest I am afraid to take my plastic off, lol. When I took my side steps off a couple weeks ago they were like hanging on by a thread. Instead of taking the bolts out i ended up breaking the rusted sheet metal around them with just a couple turns.
 






I basically just spray painted over the uglies

Naw but really the flash makes the paint look like it doesn't match but it actually matches really well in normal light. I'll take some days pictures when we get nice weather. It's funny the only rust now is on the plastic lol
 






That did make a huge improvement over what you had. GOOD JOB!!:thumbsup:
