Ranger T6 corrosion issues.

Got 23 years out of a land cruiser before the chassis rusted out. Everything else is mechanically perfect. While painting it last year I noticed rust bubbles on the sills, started probing a bit, they’re rotten as well. So I bought a 2010 pajero as a replacement, plan is to weld the chassis and replace the sills on the land cruiser as it’s only 4 years away from vintage. Doing it myself in my spare time. 

Had exactly the same experience. 23 years / 240k miles on a landcruiser before rust got it. Replaced with an 61 plate Shogun. The Shogun is quite a bit nicer to drive mind. And rustier.

Early days yet, but I think the mitsu is harder on diesel too. Mine is a swb, will have to wait until next summer to get underneath it and get busy with the paint.

Did you get the extended warranty sir ?.

Extended warranty and Diamond Brite paint protection.

And Ziebarted from new, perhaps should have done it annually 😂

Dealer serviced every year too, one old lady owner and only ever went to church on Sunday and bingo Thursday.

Is the white one a parts donor? I like the way you’re thinking 🤔
