If you want to take it on the beach then it may be worth it. Hose it out when you get home. |

If you want to see North shore, Rainbow or Fraser then YES it is worth taking the Jim as it's a hell of a lot easier than walking. For rustproofing I use a mix of : 25% new engine oil (thicker the better) 25% new trans fluid. 50% cavity wax.. (available at supercrap) Spray this mix everywhere you can get it in the body, and leave to drip overnight. Next day, go for a long drive on a dirt road to get a good coat of dust on everything to seal it so sand doesn't stick everywhere when you hit the beach. Beach driving.... Keep left. Lower tyre pressures help.. EG 60% of road pressure. When parking for a look or fish, reverse up to the dune facing the beach so people driving up and down the beach can see from a distance that you are stopped and not a moving vehicle. |

I use a very cheap sandblasting gun with a hose over the nozzle to insert into door and panel cavities. It may be worth drilling a few extra holes in the pillars (in inconspicuous places) to get proofing in there. Plug the holes with little bungs from Clark rubber or similar. |
