Rust proofing & protection

[Unionjackjim]

Just a thought .

As the chassis rails are open either end & are sealed front to back , how do you guys get the water & sand out of the chassis & rust protect , to prevent internal corrosion .

They drilled holes in lower section of frame.....one forward, and one aft.
I saw a frame this way with 1/2' holes.
Mine had the holes, so I washed it out with a hose / water from the front , and from the holes....washed out some dirt and stuff.

I was thinking that would be the only solution , what do the latest Hmmwv's have in the frame rail's , by way of drainage points ??

The A2's have small drain plugs/screws on the lower inside frame rails, and the front of the rails have blocking plates.
