I've not tried either, but I don't see how an AR would fit and question whether a Shockwave would fit. Manually tilt your rear seat back forward and try. thanks

It seriously unacceptable how much horrible the coating is on these truck frames/chasis components. I live in SoCal and the underside is rusted so horribly. I'm scarted what these trucks will look like in 10 years if they are not constantly re coated. You did a great job by the way! Diff looks brand new,.

I agree mostly. Agree that there's a few surfaces that could have used some paint from the factory, but don;t agree that the rust is everywhere. Maybe mine is different, but I have rust on the cast-iron portion of the diff including the connection from the pinion to the U-joint, there also about a 4-inch section of both front driveshafts, but that is it. No body rust (aluminum) and the frame looks fine, a few spots where I've scrapped my skid plates are showing some sign of it but I damaged the paint, the silver skid plate up front has some deep scratches that show no sign of rust, I think that is a different metal, I'm not sure.


So yeah, they could have done a better job of protecting the metal in a few places. Seems more out of place on a $55-80K truck but these components come on the $35K ones too. On top of that this is purely cosmetic, the problem areas are underneath (where many/most will never see) and I suspect left untreated by pumpkin would last another 200 years before rust became a concern beyond cosmetics.

I just could stand seeing it any longer, but I am underneath the truck at least every other month it seems, and the rust really kicks in my OCD.

I ordered this to apply on my 2020 Raptor I’m picking up today. Watch the video, this stuff is amazing. I spoke with the representative and have full Confidence applying to the entire engine bay under carriage. I ordered the kit that included a pre cleaning Product.

The videos say you need to re-apply monthly.
And what about rust that has already started.?
