Wheels and tires are mounted. 315/70r17 BFG KO2's on 17 inch Black Rhino Warlord rims. I have the 2.5 inch Rough Country budget boost that I plan to install this weekend which will have things looking much better. Also bought the Smittybilt relocation bracket for the spare tire. Next purchase will be new side steps/bars.

Has anyone found any pitting on their Jeep? I believe it’s the most evident on white. Dealership says in rail dirt? It’s really irritating. This is the last passenger side window. Their are a few on the roll bars as well.

That is inside the door frame? If so I do not have that.

Well, the dealer is on the right track but what that is, is iron fragments that have become embedded in the paint. (Based on your semi decent pic)

Especially, when vehicles are transported via rail car you see this. Tint tiny pieces of iron come up from the train tracks and embed in the paint.
Yes, this can happen with truck transports also, but the issue is not as pronounced.

Anyway, you really see the tiny embedded fragments after they rust and turn rust color. These rust colored fragments are particularly visible, on a white / light color vehicle.

You can remove these fragments with a clay bar. Sure, you can have some fragments that are to far in to remove but for the most part, the clay bar will remove them.

No, it’s on the outside on my hard top, passenger side, bottom left corner of window. There are also a few sporadically inside the car on the roll bars.

The dealership wants to have it sanded down and feathered in. I’m afraid the paint won’t match.

Looks good Moto! Where is that, Big Bear? Have you done Cleghorn or Pilot Rock yet? It's near you.
