Beautiful photos but aren't you concerned about all that salt water covering every inch of metal on your truck?

That's a Ford press Raptor, driven by a journalist. I wouldn't do that with my truck!

Yeah you're not going to catch me getting near the salt water with mine. I made that mistake on my dirt bike. doing wheelies through the water looked crazy cool in pictures, but I had rust everywhere and it took forever to get rid of it.

I have had a saltwater fish tank in my house about 9 years. 5 years ago I added an open-top sump to my basement (total system volume is about 400 gallons). After a couple years, the salt spray in my basement rusted EVERYTHING metal down there. Ugh.

I'll keep my vehicles away from it.

i have to cross salt water everytime i go to pismo. i took my wife in the subaru did some donuts in the ocean, the wife screamed so loud that my youngest daughter started crying and now she is afraid of anything fast.

but its always a 5 hour car wash when i am done. luckily not a lot of rust at all. i lay down on the ground and spray the bottom of the car for at least an hour, same with the engine bay. i think i probably will take it in the ocean. but also i dont plan on selling the truck so i want to make sure it lasts, which means lots of washes

Yea, yea, we all know saltwater will rust our stuff, but come on if you where in the press and had the opportunity to drive a Raptor on the beach and to do a photo opp like that you would do it in a heart beat (I know it's not Chevy commercial). The Pics are awesome.
BTW - what does the Navy do to keep their crap from rusting away? WD40?
