I recon the person who is buying this of you will be more than pleased with it and knowing that everything has been done properly on the build makes it even better also gives you a bit more room for future projects keep up the good work Mike.
I could have sent this to a local garage and for $60 they will spray the underside in the same product - but it is a flash and dash job. A barrel of this cost me $120 and I used 11L They do not inject into cavities which is where most of the trouble starts Thanks! Mike
If you get an empty 3 litre coke bottle with the label removed, you can insert the spray nozzle into it and see what the spray pattern will be like inside the chassis, and work out if you need to rotate the spray whilst removing it to get all round coverage.
Hi Mike a top tip when waxoiling or undersealing we wrap the exhaust in kitchen foil. As you know it can be formed easily,then just pull it off when you're done. Regards James at jb auto clinic. In the UK. We do a lot of landrovers here.
BR. Superb oiling job there Mr. Jamison ! Have used 'Fishholene Oil' on the Rangie within all the nooks and crannies which is especially good up in the tropics and bolted rock sliders to act as anode ? V.
I weld in steel plates in the the A frame cross member, where it fixes on the main chassis rails . where the gussets are in main rails fill them in to stop dirt filling up the area and rotting it out
HI Mick did my 1991 s.w.b 90 petrol, I did my the same way as you, not the best way so I used my drain cleaner on my karcher presser washer ended up with a bucket of rust and mud, then using the same drain cleaning tool attached to a good air lien an I bought the same under sealing gun as you about £80 best money spent keep up the good Work yours RH
If you push the lance too far into the chassis and catch the quick release coupling on the side of the hole, the pipe pops off and shoots up the chassis never to be seen again. Don’t ask me how I know this! 😂
I've got a drain cleaning attachment for my pressure washer. 15m long very thin hose with 360 degree nozzle on the end. Never used it on a chassis but it should do a great job of blasting the inside of a chassis leg and even pulls itself along as some of the jets point slightly backwards. Could clean entire length from one entry point.
I had the same thought as you about the front to rear wiring harness Mike. Why put it in the inside of the chassis where it can not be seen or repaired, wish I had done the same as you did now, maybe I could have repaired the wire for the reversing light if I had. Never mind, we live and learn. Please keep the video's coming, they are the only contact that I have with reality during this lock down thingy. Stay safe, Yorkshire Rob..
Piro stripping ( big oven with no oxygen so paint carnt burn) for chassis bulkhead door pillers and all other bits that get dip painted .gets all the paint waxoil underseal etc off comes back like its never been painted not sure what chemical they bath in after stripping but takes all the rust off as well . Good for full body shells as dosent distort like sandblasting
Hi what sort of pressure are you regulating the air pressure too I think the gun you are using has a max working pressure of 6 bar, great videos very informative

Lots tried that in the 80s, with disastrous results. It breaks away from the metal with the flexing of the chassis, then traps water and completely stops any damp from evaporating.
Hi Mike - about to do this job. Being in the UK I'm using Waxoyl - the official method of using it hot sounds like a pain. Anyway, using similar tools to those you're showing here, I've been experimenting using a 50:50 mix of Waxoyl and ATF. Seems to spray and cover very well and gets nicely into nooks and crannies on some scrap items. I seem though to remember you saying in a gearbox vid somewhere that ATF contains cleaning agents? If so, anything in there that's going to rot my chassis? Also - I assume there would be no problem with used ATF out of the gearbox/transfer case?
2 door jeep overlanding in the Arctic watershed (love defenders too...the older ones not the new junk). Why didn't you use Krown . I use it all the time in aerosol or in the gallon container sprayed into frame channels and other nooks and crannies . I know you have discovered this rust proof concoction as well.....sooo why didn't you spray it down the gullet of the frame of that beast ??
Hi Mike, how come you didn't use Krown? I have ordered some to the UK and they had a leaflet about chassis sealing.. Is the wax better than krown for the chassis? Cheers!
It certainly is, they start rusting as soon as they are driven off the assembly line. Do the job yourself, don't have to jack up as you can crawl underneath easily enough. I did my 2015 110 XS with Dinitrol products. You need to check over it every year, and the most important thing is to jet wash the underneath if you go off road as it's the trapped mud that causes all the problems.
Well, you cannot galvanize over paint - the acid dip prior to galvanizing will remove rust, but not paint I have seen used chassis a few years after galvanizing, and some had rusted from the inside I used to do this over 12 years ago, but now I only fit new chassis - for me it was not cost effective
LandRover's leak enough crap out of every joint without filling the chassis rails with "goop" that will stick like "shit to a blanket" to your driveway or garage floor...
It sounds similar to stuff here called "Tectyl" it has incredible "wick in" qualities, it creeps into all gaps and crevices. I have used fish oil in the past, thus my comment, more oil on the driveway to clean up...

Good idea - I wiped it off before it dried with an absorbent cloth

Sounds good - this stuff I used was made here is Quebec and unlike Waxoyl - it does not harden in the cold
Still dunno how you did this in January when you were washing out the chassis in late Feb, Mike.
I weld in steel plates in the the A frame cross member, where it fixes on the main chassis rails . where the gussets are in main rails fill them in to stop dirt filling up the area and rotting it out
Its very good at hiding rust, thats why I want to see a chassis before its treated if I'm buying a land rover off ebay etc.

Yes the guns are very good but you must wash them out after use!
If you push the lance too far into the chassis and catch the quick release coupling on the side of the hole, the pipe pops off and shoots up the chassis never to be seen again. Don’t ask me how I know this! 😂
Lol! That is what happened with the steam cleaner when I did the final wash out!

Indeed Rob - there are a lot of places inside the chassis where the wiring can chaff

Nice 👍
Looks like you had vape party in your garage. 😉 Love the things you show us. 👍🏼👌🏻🍻
I did!
A mate of mine used to slosh old used engine oil over his pajero ,did a great job of trapping dirt in😂
When I could get it used vegetable oil out of the fryers was an excellent rust proofer - but had to be used not new stuff
Looks like new under there 👍👍👍👍
It is
You’ve talked me out of living in Canada
I was half expecting a werewolf to jump out of that fog! I wonder if that stuff could be made from oil changes and a big lump of bees wax+angle ground zinc wheel balance weights, though probably not pc!
Old oil works well
@@Anderzander it does! Watch the pc grumbling comments!
But old oil will not stick to vertical panels
@@BritannicaRestorations it is on mine 🤷🏻♂️

Mike have you ever thought about filling the chassis void with expanding foam. No air, no water no rust.
Most expanding foam absorbs water. Not good idea.
Lots tried that in the 80s, with disastrous results. It breaks away from the metal with the flexing of the chassis, then traps water and completely stops any damp from evaporating.
A real bad idea! GM did this years ago in the sills and they rusted like crazy and were a bugger to weld up as the foam kept catching fire
fish oil is good as well
6.27 "Little bit of arse ole"
Brilliant 😆
Hi Mike, cracking videos. Do you plug the drilled holes afterwards or leave them open as a drain?
I leave them open to circulate air and let water out
i think I would prefer a clear waxoyl so i can see the chassis bits
Waxoyl is rubbish here - goes hard in the cold and salt water gets behind it - I have tested it
@@BritannicaRestorations I did not know - I live in Santa Fe, NM - very dry here no rust like Ontario - but it does get cold
Tidy job 👍🏻
Just thinking, if you had ended up as a designer at Land Rover, what a vehicle they would have been!
Probably a Land Cruiser with a Land Rover badge on !
@@BritannicaRestorations perfect answer Mike, ha, ha, ha..
But those Tojos can rust pretty badly...

ATF has Chlorine I am told - is not corrosive
Used ATF should be ok
That's great - thanks Mike
Did you drill that big hole behind the outrigger? Does it need plugged when youre done?
No let it breathe!
2 door jeep overlanding in the Arctic watershed (love defenders too...the older ones not the new junk). Why didn't you use Krown . I use it all the time in aerosol or in the gallon container sprayed into frame channels and other nooks and crannies . I know you have discovered this rust proof concoction as well.....sooo why didn't you spray it down the gullet of the frame of that beast ??
I could only get Krown in spray cans
Never heard of that product. I use a lanolin based rust proofing with good results,either way it's a crap job especially with no lift.
Yes - not too good a job to do, and I bet this will be the last time it will be done
This is a Quebec product so does not crack in winter like Waxoyl
Hi Mike, how come you didn't use Krown? I have ordered some to the UK and they had a leaflet about chassis sealing.. Is the wax better than krown for the chassis? Cheers!
As I mentioned, I could not buy it in drums only cans - If I could I would have - but I will do the bulkhead in Krown
👍👍
Mike there is a reason those dust masks were in the garbage - please get a decent mask for any job which involves solvents and other nasties.
Is it worth doing to a 2015 plate the garage wants 800 British pounds
It certainly is, they start rusting as soon as they are driven off the assembly line. Do the job yourself, don't have to jack up as you can crawl underneath easily enough. I did my 2015 110 XS with Dinitrol products. You need to check over it every year, and the most important thing is to jet wash the underneath if you go off road as it's the trapped mud that causes all the problems.
Cheaper than a new chassis
Would you recommend galvanizing a 2nd hand chassis or treating this way?
Well, you cannot galvanize over paint - the acid dip prior to galvanizing will remove rust, but not paint
I have seen used chassis a few years after galvanizing, and some had rusted from the inside
I used to do this over 12 years ago, but now I only fit new chassis - for me it was not cost effective
@@BritannicaRestorations thankyou.
Does that stuff dry? Or remain damp/wet to the touch?
It dries to a beeswax feel - nice thing with this it remains flexible in the severe cold - unlike Waxoyl which goes hard
Would you recommend painting a galvanised chassis?
I used to use vinyl wash paint - very good adhesion
Google ACF 50 and you will never use wax again.
LandRover's leak enough crap out of every joint without filling the chassis rails with "goop" that will stick like "shit to a blanket" to your driveway or garage floor...
This only drips on fresh applications - dries in a few days outside
It sounds similar to stuff here called "Tectyl" it has incredible "wick in" qualities, it creeps into all gaps and crevices. I have used fish oil in the past, thus my comment, more oil on the driveway to clean up...
Was the chassis galvanised?
no
