The gravel damage wasn't as bad as I thought but it wasn't where I thought it would be.
The most damage was from the axle back. Maybe gravel hitting the axle and bouncing up .
I need to redo the very rear insulation. Also have an idea about protecting it in the future. Involves no drilling, some K-tex material and electrical conduit.
Water shouldn't get trapped cause there will be gaps between it and the insulation.

You can see a gash in the center.

You see the holes in the bracing. I could sew up a k-tex sleeve with 2 loops, each section and run conduit through to hold em up.
I should be able to get it tight enough.
Sewn up enough dump truck covers in my time.

While under there the frame got sanded, wiped down with wax&grease remover, then brake cleaner.
And painted with 2 cans of VHT chassis paint.
Tested on the tongue and holds up good.
