rust

I'm looking to pull the trigger on purchasing a 2021 Sport. Seller sent me these pictures and I'm hoping for some input on how bad this rust is or isn't. I know the main concern would be the frame which looks okay, driveshaft looks heavy though. Car was originally from the northeast but seems...

This weekend I was giving "The White Rubi" (2022 JLU Rubicon) its first thorough cleaning after winter and noticed a couple of unsettling things. First was some bubbling under the paint along the side edge of the hood. Second was some rust forming at a weld by the back wheel. I know there have...

Good Morning Team! Need pro advice here. Bought a shiny new 24 Rubicon for my wife. The seam on the back panel was loose. Took it in for a warranty touch up. 5 miles on it btw, new new. removing the back panel to fix the bead and repaint, shop tells me they discovered rust. Im assuming not...

6 weeks ago, began noticing 1-2mm rust spots all through the paint job of my 2024 Willys. I had photos taken at the dealership over a month ago and they still haven’t called me with a solution despite promising they would. I’ve found at least 30 spots and they’re all obvious rust, under the...

I was doing some spring maintenance on my 2021 Rubicon XR and noticed some really bad corrosion on the bolts connecting parts of the exhaust. It looks like the front pipe to me. I only see it on this part of the exhaust and the rest is completely fine. I assume this is not normal. Has anyone...

Bought a take off suspension of a 2022 XR Rubicon to put on my JL sport. Had only about 200 miles on it but wasn’t cleaned after it was taken off and sat a bit. The third link/control arm joints developed a bit of surface corrosion. What is safe to use to clean it off and what should I put on it...

Good evening. Thank you for sorting me into the thread. I just purchased my first Jeep Wrangler. 2018 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited Rubicon. I’ve opened it just over a week and today I noticed that there is corrosion on all the door and tailgate hinges. Is this still under warranty? Kind of...

I Drive me Jeep hard and Enjoy the Rocks. Needless to say my undercarriage is taking a beating. How do you spot treat undercarriage damage to Prevent Rust? How do you remove the rust that has already show up? How do you Smooth out the Burrs? What do you use to prevent rust?

Has anyone gotten the Mopar Rust Inhibitor, Undercoat, & Paint Sealant applied to their Jeep? I just picked up my JLR yesterday and this was the first time that I was made aware of Mopar offering something like this. I find it a bit far-fetched that only 1 application is needed and then...

Does anyone have a good source for OEM style black Torx bolts? Or, does anyone know what kind of finish the OEM fasteners have? Black phosphate, black oxide, black stainless? Oiled or waxed? There are plenty of places to get black fasteners on the ol' Interwebs. But I'm not sure about their...

One of the bolts I used on my winch install is showing some slight signs of surface rust, and a bolt on the skid plate as well. I was thinking about hitting these with some sort of rust inhibitor but I’m unfamiliar in this area, I’ve seen some car forums suggest Hitting it with some fluid film...

Hey all, Im new to the wrangler scene (absolutely love it) and live in the North East. The salt along with the moisture build up during the winter just destroys undercarriages. I just purchased my wrangler a few weeks ago and was wondering does the car come with any basic rust protection or...

I was crawling around under the Jeep today and spraying ares where rust had started to form with some rust converter. The basic areas... the bottom of the pumpkins, a spot here or there, where the driveshaft bolts to the attachment plate. Places that you would normally see rust. Then I noticed...

Just wanted to give everyone a heads up on something. While installing my winch I noticed some frame welds that were solid rust and unpainted so today I spent the day going through the entire frame finding spots here and there that had no paint or coating on them. I wire brushed them and cleaned...
