What started off as a quick beer and working out where to put the fire extinguisher turned into an entire Friday night gone...lol
I opened up the jack holder compartment to find mud which lead to pulling up the carpet and finding wet carpet and surface rust all in the corner of the base as per the pics below.
Looks like an easy spot for water to get in if your deep enough and if I had not have checked this then it would have rusted the whole corner of the rear cab in a couple of years...
Just thought I would throw this up for everyone to have a quick squizz under your carpet in the corner infront of the jack compartment and let us know if you have any rust too...
Just took me 3 hours to clean it up, kill rust, prime and paint. Lucky I found it!!!
Was a nightmare pulling the drawer system out too...lol
Dodgy fix for now was to wrap plastic infront of the jack...LMAO
