    I don’t do any mods or accessories that require drilling into or cutting any metal for fear of rust. What is the best way to prevent rust if you do drill or cut into any metal on your Tundras?

    After drilling prime and coat the exposed metal. Look up Por15. Great product.

    Squeeze some Marine Caulking into holes after drilling and prior to inserting screws. If cutting, then metal primer works best on edges.
