hi all. Just had a problem/question im hopeing u guys might be able to help me with lol.
i have some rust at the bottom of both my door right on the edge. so i was wondering how would i go about fixing it without haveing to replace the whole door? i was planing to do the other rust spot on the truck with some bondo but these 2 spots are just in a bad spot. thanks all a head of time for ur input.

 

It's a common problem. I have a little myself. It's caused by the plugs at the bottom of the door and by not washing under the doors. Once I get the chance I'm gonna clean off what I can and put some por15 down. I'd have taken mine to the dealer but they gave me issues and a hassle about a rust spot under the hood since I didn't get the rustproofing warranty.

 

k thanks :) i just bought this truck last month love it to death tho im very excited to start some work on it.

 

Make a sig so we know what you have. It helps when troubleshooting something or diagnosing something.

 

kk done lol ty

 

Once rust starts, unless its minor surface rust, It won't go away even if you do Bondo over it.
for the inside door, like Morris said, clean it up best you can, pull out those stinkin plugs and put some POR15 on it.

 

woot finaly figured out how to put pics i think lol this is what the rust looks like

 

and the drivers side lol

 

is that por 19 the best or has anyone tryed that rustoleom stuff (rust reformer) and while i think of it has anyone tryed that roll on bed liner stuff from them?

 

Yea, that's major. It is already coming through. You might have to do some surgeory. There have been a couple of guys on here that used the roll on liner. mine is just the edge of the metal that is folded up.

 

bump

 

yea it sucks wish the guy i bought it from would of taken better care of it lol ill look into it i might be able to think of something lol

 

Maybe you'd be lucky enough to find two good doors at the JY that are already black?

 

i was thinking the same thing lol idk if im that lucky but hey worth a shot we have a few scrap yards close by who i was gonna get my bumbers from. ill take a look at there doors to lol

 

soo ive been thinking about it. Tomorrow im gonna take a wire brush to this lol just to see how much will come off and afterwords i might desect it if the majority of it is still there and if i ruin it then ill just go to the junk yard and check it out lol

 

I'd go to the Junkyard first, once you wire wheel that, your gonna be seeing the inside of that door, at least in the first picture.
the second picture isn't so bad. that you could clean up best you could and use some Rustoleum on.
As far as that first picture goes, its too far gone, just be sure to watch it, it isn't too bad yet, i've seen Rangers with plenty more rust than that on the doors survive for a while.
