FJ cruiser undercoating (4 Viewers)

[Zack1978]

The undercoating on the FJC is not like any undercoating I've seen before. I almost wouldn't even call it "undercoating". To look at it, and feel it, it seems like it is a soft rubber/foam coating. In places, it is up to an inch thick. It's more of a sound deadener and not a rust proofing thing. Probably does both, but it's not that thin black crap that gets sprayed on.

I agree it is VERY different, however before we all go run out and use it, I would love to see how well it actually holds up! Will it work to stop rust? Has it been used on other trucks besides the FJ?

Now I call that undercoating that makes a difference.

Bought my Black Cherry yesterday and the salesman said the undercoating was an asphalt based spray. It's included in all Vehicle Shield Packages.

I'd have mine if I didn't want 'em powder coated

I find that 90% of what a salesman says is bull.

I agree that the undercoating is factory done on all FJ's, no package bull****!! Tell them to shove their PACKAGE!!

Yes the FJ does come with a factory undercoating. I Have a 1975 all original and it has it, unfortunately some of mine has bubbled up, cracked and chipped in a few spots but it is 45 years old. I wish I could find it as well. And yes it is tar like.
