I have a Transcraft Tl-2000 semi trailer, which is in a remarkably
decent condition, considering it is 17 years old. It has superficial
surface rust, but no through holes or big pieces or rust falling off.

It was owned by a construction cmpany prior to me buying it at
auction, and it was probably not used much during winter.

Well I will need to use it during winter, so, my question, how to rust
proof it cheaply. (it cost me only $1.5k plus buyer premium). Say, can
I spray some oil on the frame every couple of months? Would that work
satisfactorily?

Why not buy a kit and do a Rino Liner type coating over the metalwork?
It would be much cheaper than anything else other than polluting
Chicago.

On second thought....a couple gallons of used motor oil would be a
good thing. Spray it on with a bug sprayer and then drive through
Chicago and let it drip dry.


I have a lot of clean, transparent used hydraulic oil and such.

What..no carcinogen ridden used oil that Chicagoans will appreciate?

The methodology of the left has always been:

1. Lie
2. Repeat the lie as many times as possible
3. Have as many people repeat the lie as often as possible
4. Eventually, the uninformed believe the lie
5. The lie will then be made into some form oflaw
6. Then everyone must conform to the lie
