Dissimilar metal corrosion sets in, nasty stuff. Give them Fords a bit of time and watch what happens No issues in 6 years, how long should we wait? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still holding strong 370,000 km in. May look at doing that this year. Used to be I wore the body out before the drivetrain. Verdict is out on what will wear out first. Pretty impressed so far. Was a GM guy, but this ford is working out ok. Just stupid fixes like you get with any of them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you don’t krown them wiring will go I find. Then you have big issues sometimes. Every since I been using known no more issues with wiring or trailer connections either 😎.

Most likely keep it till it falls apart, as I do with most of my vehicles. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I keep everything until it falls apart pretty much too or transmission goes, knock on wood. 😎 been doing it every spring which seems to be best time for product and to grab extra discounts since krown always slow in April. They rinse salt off too for me with that salt rinse they have. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Canuck Posted September 1, 2023 Share Posted September 1, 2023 You guys with the ' solid body ...no floorboard rot thanks to Krown ' remind me of Fred Flintstone and his awesome vehicle. 2013 Toyota, Tundra $275 K, no Krown, still good. Will do it this year tho. Thanks for the advice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
catinental couch Posted September 1, 2023 Share Posted September 1, 2023 Krown is a wonderful product. What sucks is the applicators. I still have my 99 GMC that has been rustproofed with Krown every year since new. Original Krown owner sold out and haven’t found a decent location to do a Krown job since. I am thoroughly disappointed in the retailers’ quality control. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stoney Posted September 3, 2023 Share Posted September 3, 2023 They are both real nice looking sleds. Do they both not come in the blue/white colour scheme? How about the new colour scheme that is black/gold, both models have that? Looking them up I see SRX Sidewinder noted as a model - not well rehearsed on Yamaha, so what’s the deal.

skidooboy Posted September 3, 2023 Share Posted September 3, 2023 Spoken like true late 90's, early 2000's fans. The SRX has been around for a loooooong time, and not in blue and white. I would imagine people from the 70's and 80's dont like the blue and white. so, you have that. LOL! Ski 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Strong Farmer Posted September 4, 2023 Share Posted September 4, 2023 Really sad Yamaha was leader in 80’s before Polaris took over in 90’s then skidoo in 2000’s. phazers, exciters we’re every where. Oh those vmax’s were pretty cool too. Yamaha was only manufacturer that could make a reliable tripple cylinder two stroke too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scottyr Posted September 4, 2023 Share Posted September 4, 2023 My buddy has a 21 (?) red and white SRX and it pains me to say it looks awesome. The all black one was pretty boring. I know the black/gold is the retro look, I just don’t like it as much as the blue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
