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 that 90% of my welds )especially up front) are starting to rust. The paint looks to have peeled off and the bare metal underneath is rusting. With only 5k miles and NO snow (road salt) since ownership this is a bit concerning.
I know on another thread people saw welds where there was a ton of splatter and also parts of the weld were missing.
Is anyone else seeing this issue? I've attached a picture of one of the spots. It's glossy because of teh rust converter being sprayed on it. This is on the driver's side rail about 2 feet back from the tire.
