Is this Rust Concerning?

[WrangleredUp]

I've had my New 2025 JLU Willys XR for about 9 months now, and after looking underneath recently, I discovered some rust starting to form mostly on the axles. I also noticed some corrosion on both the locking lug nuts and the protection ring screws on the Wheels. I can also see that the frame and suspension components are starting to look grey and slightly chalky.

Should I be concerned about any of this? if it's not anything to worry about than that's fine. If you have any tips to "fix" some of these issues, I would appreciate it. I have attached pictures of everything I mentioned. Thanks.

Completely normal. If in the northern or salt belt have it oil sprayed and you're good to go.

I forgot to mention that I’m in NJ and it’s only been through one winter. There is always a lot of salt on the roads here.

Not yet. Unfortunately, they're just going to keep growing and spreading.

Start spraying Surface Shield or Fluid Film every year. Properly done, that'll prevent new rust from forming and stop the existing ones from spreading. You'll need about 8 cans for the initial application to be thorough. After that you can cut it down to about 6 cans for subsequent applications.
