Quick fix Rust Repair on my Truck (Rocker and Cab Corners)
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 27 сен 2024
- In this episode, I take my rocker rust out, and cover it with grease and undercoating, replacing it with a quick cover that will never rust. This solution is perfect for what I need it for, for nonstructural rust.

This is another reason I like you. Whether it's new fishing, fixing the canopy , outdoor- tailgate- rock cooking, improving the truck, reaching out to others for help or a good time. Or just tackling and doing it yourself. Great attitude for living, bud! Keep on truckin'.
I would suggest taking some white silicone and sealing the couple cracks on each side sothat water can't get all inside where you just cut out the rust. Looks like a good idea for rocker repair though
Great thinking, the silicone will also keep water from seeping through the cracks
The water will be trapped in between the walls
Tell you what man. I never subbed till now. I have watched you off and on. But after the Brake job and this you got my respect. May not be how I would have done it. But you put the freaking effort in. Much respect. Not that my opinion matters
Run some seem sealer around those seems to help keep the water down from getting in between the plastic covers
I do rust repair (via the best method) however that will give a little more time, its still going to help entrap moisture against the already compromised inner rocker. This might hurt you in the long run bc you wont see rust again until its way too late.
True, but don't you think between the rust (as best he could) removal, and inhibitor (though I would have gone with a converter, paint, then inhibitor), and keeping it clean, he's not going to get a few years off of it? It's clearly not a truck he's going to have for 10 years.
i’m doing it with my truck and cutting it out and welding new inners and outers
Mom and Dad will appreciate that overspray :)
Right
😂😂😂
Covers face...doesn’t move car.
Better get out the clay bar
I'm from new mexico, things dont rust here, watching things about rust is mind blowing, we have vehicles daily driven from the 80s without rust, I feel bad for you guys over there
you're lucky, brand new, shiny brake rotors rust in 2 weeks lol
You should go and fish eagle lake mn off the landing it’s juiced!! Try it and pop a frog across the Lilly pads!!! Bass for days!!!
Hey this is a car repair video and not a fishing video. Kindly limit your comments and questions to autobody repair. Thanks in advance
Great work , it'll last at least five yrs. Depends how strong the material is and what it costs. I'd say it looks very professional and don't let anyone tell you different.
5 years? maybe if it was fiberglass, but its plastic with zero seam sealer. just saying if he lives or visits wear its hot itll get brittle over time and itll start to rust when water gets trapped in the seams, and not to mention if he lives were they salt roads hes got a year or 2 tops and im leaning towards the year mark. Its a band-aid for a broken arm its just not gonna do much
this channel is better than anything Peric has ever done.
You know what kid, that was very well done. I like that you just "go for it". Good for you!
That looks amazing. If you ever have problems with the adhesive tape, adding heat to the new tape will help it last longer
I'm surprised how nice those turned out. Looks good. This is the only reason I opted for my first ever new truck 5 years ago when I went looking. Every truck I saw was rusted so I bought a 2015 f150 that has an aluminum body.
For a used truck to keep for a couple of years, this looks like a pretty decent cover up. I mean, cleaning out rust versus cutting it out is almost impossible. I would have put in a rust convertor paint in those voids, but otherwise, this is a decent little job considering the alternative.
I was thinking the same, it's possible the product he has is similar, different name.
give you a lot of credit Mav, I am much older but I couldn't have had the patience to do all that, I would have just had a shop do it. Salute for doing it yourself. It does look excellent for a one man job.
Thanks Man, thats appreciated very much. Cheers, Steve@@lifequest7453
I bought my f150 from grand forks nd was an 03 so it was like 15 years old when I got it but had little to no rust due to I guess since noDak doesn't salt their roadways in winter like we do in mighty Minnesota and after only a couple Minnesota winters it got rusty as all heck lol but yea nice mechanical vid mav your the real deal broski
Awesome video thanks! Very helpful got a 13 with same issue I was stressing until I watched this video!
“Vehcor” does a lot of body repair on his channel and sprays a body wax into cavities to help prevent rust.. you might want to look into it as a preventative against future rust
Now eventually a fellow RUclipsr that does welding/body repair will get a hold of you and you can do a co-op video and cut that rocker and cab corner out and weld it in properly. But for the time being that's a nice temp repair, though I would recommend some seam sealer to keep the crud out.
You read my mind I’m in the exact same situation with my 2014 F-150 my corners are starting to rust they don’t have holes yet but I live in Wisconsin so it’s best I get it fixed now before it gets worse.
Nice job on the restoration. I'm glad you used the rust inhibitor.
I’ve got a 97 F150 flairside with a hole I’ve dug rust out with my fingertips the size of a football. It’s a lariat w/ silver paint on the bottom of the cab and part of the bed where t it meets the cab. I was gonna do the ole foam bondo combo till I saw this. Don’t know if I can get what I’ll need from the same place but I may give it a go. I’ve got 1 year to do both sides as my nephew will be 16 then and I’m giving it to him for his birthday. The thing had 38 miles on it when I bought it new in 97. It had just come off the line a month before and those miles were from the line to the lot 7 or 8 times and putting it on and off the carrier then getting it to the dealer. Been the best truck I’ve ever had and now I want Jack to have something he can be happy to drive and be proud of like I was. Yep I like to rant a little bit now and then. Great vid. Now I’m motivated to get on with it. Like I said…I’ve got a year to do what you did in a day. The way I procrastinate I’ll be damn lucky to make it by his birthday. Lol
I replaced my rockers and cab corners in my 2005 F-150 Crew cab and man it wasn't fun. You can buy them fairly cheaply online, remove the old cab corners/rockers, then slap the new ones on with some metal adhesive and paint em' up. I probably put over 24 hours of work into it but It honestly looks so good you'd never notice they were replaced.
Bro u are like my favorite RUclipsr love the catch and cooks bro keep up the amazing vids !
Maverick now that we're in the data winner with a foot of snow on the ground I'm probably about 400 miles south of you I got an F-150 couple years older than yours. I had no idea they had those plastic covers I was going to do all mine and steal in the spring got the exact same problem. so thank you
Like a band-aid on a gunshot wound.
Say what you want but doc mcstuffins band aids always work on sucking chest wounds.
Lip stick on a pig.
It don’t do me no good at all.
Meh, it ain't like that clapped out F150 is going on Mecum or Barret Jackson. Good enough for a 10 year old bazillion mile truck.
Looks great man! For the age of the truck, that’s honestly the best you can do. It’s not practical to pay $6000 for a 2011. Once your RUclips channel really takes off you’ll be able to afford something newer and better! Keep on truckin man! Love your channel! 🤙🏼
ClawBoss here before Mac hearts it ;)
@@chaffycaesar8026 he never did lol
@@Quinto-j5t 😂😂
Not everyone wants to buy new my guy lol
Id day it’s taken off
the fact that he is painting inside a garage w another car in it makes me anxious.
Glad I'm not the only one that thought that
I was thinking the same shit I’m like oh no dude stop 🛑
😂😂💯💯💯💯
His mom will love that on her car
Nice aesthetic fix. Drive it til the wheels fall off 🤙
Makes me appreciate my southern truck more
Great job, Mav. I always appreciate your willingness to dive in and do something you have never done before. As you were running that grinder it reminded me of another channel I watch where the same thing happened to the lense! I guess that is a mistake you will only make once. Love the content. Thanks bro!
Great job Mav, its a temp fix, you should look in to Por15. Hopefully you fixed sunroof drainage issue fixed.
Thats the thing that sucks about living in places where it rains and snows a lot it will rust out any vehicle new or used that’s why I love living in California never had that problem
Could be from salt on the roads when it snows in the winter
Very well-done sir.
A great fix actually.
I admire your willingness to hack on your truck, Mav
For real.That would be my biggest fear.
Omg can’t believe your painting while that car is still in the garage. Hopefully you didn’t get overspray on it.
Didn't even know plastic ones existed. Definitely need to grab some. They look great!
thanks for a great video. I have a 2012 f150 so i am probably unaware of the rust problem but I will take a look tomorrow especially because I do some 4x4 beach driving and the roads here get plenty of salt in the winter. If I need to repair it you have shown the way. very good instructional video. thanks.
Dude according to my Sherlock Holmes power of Deduction, you and Hannah obviously broke up. I watched your videos individually so was pleasantly surprised you two are a couple. Really cute ones too. Oh well. Anyway, you have more interesting vids lately. I think you're the first one I watched sleep camping on a boat. U have unique ideas. Keep it up.
Keep up the good work mav
Awesome job, I was very impressed and it sure did come out nice, I wish I would have known that there were part's out there like that for my truck
Love watching you think buddy
Keep on trucking
This is going to be a good video
You have a hell of a lot more patience then I do for jobs like that!
Great job young man. You should be pretty proud of yourself.
eye protection a MUST specially working with wire wheel.
It still looks really fresh on the sides and front
It amazes me to see vehicles this age rust. In Arkansas a truck can be 40 years old with no rust at all
Thought you were gonna just slap those plastic covers on but it looks like you did your due diligence in rust prevention. Nice work Mav👍
Good stuff mav, i wanna see the back cab seat removal and new setup too!!
Good job Mav. that was worth watching. did not know they had them. Keep up the great vids. they always are.
I’d probably put a clear sealer above the plastic cab corner so water doesn’t deep into it.
I have same issue with my 07 f150..same corners..color and all think im gonna give this a shot..thanks
Aah yes, had to make it pass inspection. Nice work thank you for helping
I would of painted all the metal you grinded back first and then spray foamed everything inside there leaving the drain hose exposed and possibly drilled a hole at the bottom of the plastic extending the hose just through it so water doesn't bottle up inside, also you should use some white Sika flex and fill in the gaps ontop of the plastic capping your just allowing dust dirt and mud to build up inside there my dude
The vhb tape should keep it sealed, but I second the idea of adding sikaflex to all of the seams, just in case.
Nice job! My 2004 Chevy truck has the same rust spots! I will try to do this to it this summer! Thanks for the great video!👍😎
That company was started by a friend of mine. They look good Mav.
Great job Mav!!! Can’t wait to see the back seat mods!!! Your living the dream brother!!! Since your back home does that mean your riding solo? If you get my drift?
First video i have seen. Looking to fix some rust on my GMC. . Good job dude!
I really appreciate all your video's Mav however this one is extremely helpful to me, I drive a 2008 ford expedition and my rocker panels are rusted I didn't know what to do because I wasn't gonna pay to have it repaired, but this will work perfectly I think I'll post my repair to my RUclips channel...... thanks again brother
Get a spray handle for the paint can makes it easier.
I have the same truck as you and I had the same issue. I managed to find a friend who welds and he put in 22 gauge sheet metal an used bondo To cover and and paint it. Managed to get it all done for 350CAD including materials.
what year is that car? in my country you have to weld that kind of damage, that could be bad if the rust spreads like it usually does over time. And its safer to have metal instead of plastic incase of hit by another car
I was able to get both my rockers and cab corners fixed for $800 total and it was done right the cab corners won't rust again but the rockers eventually will within time.
Ospho is a good rust converter and primer also.
Mav love the 360 of your life, making of the repair of your truck a good video. Like the research into it and Respect your work in accomplishing the goal. Thanks for posting.
Impressive Mav!!!!!
ChrisFix would be proud.
Excellent video and great job on the repair!
It actually looks decent!
Love the vids keep up the good work
I had a similar problem with my 04 Avalanche. I went with the spray foam solution and sanded it to match the contour, then I took some painters tape and did a line around my truck about four inches above rocker pannels, then I rolled bedliner on it. I did the same to the front of the hood and grille, to tie it all in together. I got tons of comments on how good the truck looked so I guess it passed inspection. Keep the lines straight the entire length of the truck, and it looks like it belongs there. I also did the underside of the frame once I got the rust off.
That is a temporary "fix". In the long run the foam will hold in moisture and make it worse than if you left it alone
@@jaretaustin14 Yeah, No longer my problem, sold it for more than I paid for it.
Nice work MAV good video catch you next time till then stay safe God bless and keep posting an awesome videos
Excellent video MAV!! I have a 2011 Ranger same paint job
Awesome job! Looks great 👍
Great video. I Learned a lot. Thank You .👍
Kudos to you Mav, you live u learn working on Body work!!
Nice job! Man, I’ve gotten so spoiled, from upper Michigan originally but now live in Arizona. Where I’m at up in the mountains we get some winter but thankfully they don’t salt the roads here. Makes for a lot of 4x4 use in winter time by my 2000 ‘burb is still completely rust free
My 05’ explorer was toast in the rear rockers.
Now that's an interesting hack job
Nice man think I'ma do this to Mine this summer seems a bit of work but not dropping 3k-5k for a body shop when my 2010 has 220k miles
Keep the good work man, i like your stealth camping video, but also worry because its a bit risky just like your last one.
Well done young man.
Shoulda threw a bead of silicone around the outer portion before taping it up but maybe you can still throw some in the cracks before more water gets in
That is why I mount my running boards to the frame . Put some good mud flaps on it will keep the stones down.
Very good. There are a number of rust neutralizers paints and such.
Don't do that it hurts. Do the new parts have a place for the water to drain?
Nice Job . . . prime It . . . You ~ ROCK ! !
Fun fact: use silicone to seal that back cab light to the truck. The seal ford made doesnt stop water so the leaking water rust out our cab corners
I love those year F150's. But I live up in Canada so we have rust issues too. I ended up waiting and saving up some more money and got a 2018 aluminum body F150. I had a 2003 F150 and the cab corners and rockers rotted just like yours. So I'm really hoping the aluminum bodies hold up well.
Turned out really nice. Good job.
Nice work.
love the content man I plan to build out a sprinter van into a hidden rv for city environments
Not gonna lie I was 100% expecting you to pull out some white spray paint and call it good.
Dude this video is priceless.
with the age of the truck and what it's technically worth...this was a good choice.....Just drive the truck till it's time for a newer truck and make an even better live in vehicle.
Not everyone wants a new truck weirdo some people have preferences over the trash they make now a days that take 3 years to rust out
@@BD.Breadman Nor can people like me with no credit and no chance of going to a car lot can go to one and buy one, new or used.
Outstanding, dude. You the man Mav!
awsome young man ill do that to my 2010 f-150
Looks great my man!
try researching on fiber glass bro. its usually the material that is used on bumpers etc. i fixed the rust on my car. replacing the rusted metal portions with fiber glass and then leaving a hole for the water to naturally fall through. its way more cheaper too.
The dust mask for aerosol cans is the first 😂
I wonder if the trucks without sunroof drains didn't get the rust there.
If the third brake light leaks and doesn’t get fixed it can.
It’s not the water that’s the problem it the salt used to melt snow
Even before 2009 the f150s have this problem. Not sure what causes it but I've seen so many including my 2005 that don't have sunroofs and have both sides rusted out.
I have the same truck (black), same year, and same motor without a sunroof and yes it's rusted in the same place. I like the fix, I have 260,000 miles on mine, and outside of the cosmetics of those rust bubbles, it is great. This is the cosmetic fix and confidence I need to do the same thing to mine.
