Sealing 130 tub floor etc ?

[VladTepes]

Ok so here's a question, and I wouldn't be surprised if the answer is "You're joking, right?!"

Anyway I am going to be putting some drawers in the back of the 130 and before I do so I want to tidy up the tray floor etc as much as possible.

There's a lot of dirt in there particulary where the corrugated floor meets front of the tub (i.e. cab end).

Any tips for getting all that dirt/grime out?


Then I'd like to try to ensure that
1. As much as possible, water is sealed from entry from underneath (or at least preventing rapid entry);
2. If water does get in there is a way for it to drain out.

And should I consider painting the inside of the tub with some sort of protectant paint goop?
Certainly can;t afford (and don't really need) that fancy protective tray liner stuff.

Other 1309 owners done anything along these lines?

Cheers

No I haven't got a high pressure washer.

(The car wash thing doesn't seem adequate)

Renting them isn't as cheap as I'd hope, and buying one is only cheap if a bottom of the range one is bought )and why bother with a rubbish thing).

Have you considered a rubber floor mat, the ine in my Falcon ute does a pretty good job of sealing the holes and providing a flat surface rather than the corrugated floor of the tray.

No I don't really need a floor mat (or the cost of one) on account of I'll have a big drawer set in there anyway.

Thanks for the suggestion though Tote, I'll keep it in mind.

Come and borrow my Gerni.

I'm about to go through the same process, I'm planning on spraying it with carbuilders bully liner. I think it seems pretty reasonable at about $170 for 9 sqm coverage. I like that it is non toxic and should do a good job sealing everything up!

[VladTepes]

Never heard of that? Do you need a special gun for it or just a normal paint gun?

edit: I presume you mean this? Underbody stone guard, upol raptor, bully liner, lizardskin spray gun
with Bully Rubber Liner is one tough paint coating! Even better it's non-toxic and water based
