I'd give 'er a good coat of some quality wax beforehand and hose the hell out of 'er afterwards. Salt = bad news.

Has anyone ever had their undercarraige sprayed? I recall seeing a few trucks in my days as a Jiffy Lube Technician;) with an undercoating...any comments?

I live in Florida and do alot of my offroading at the beach. Keep a good coat of wax on the truck. Don't get the truck in the water any more than you have to. After you leave, within a day or two hose off the under side of the truck really good. Make sure you get all the sand off from under it. I usually do it right when I get home. A far as under coating, I've heard people say its great and some say don't bother. Personal choice I guess. I dont see where it would hurt anything other than the wallet. Just by doing the above I have never had any problems with rust. Just out of curiosity, where are you from?

A beach permit can be had at Robert Moses State Park. It costs 30 or 40...I dont remember. Make sure you get there fast though because there is a cutoff...They stop giving them out during the summer and then start again in the fall.

You can also do some beach offroading at Smith Point Beach, Long Island during, the summer, you do not need an annual permit, you can buy a day use permit. I use to go there a lot, but I now live in South Florida, but when ever I go to New York , I go to Smith Point.
