Default Surface Rust

Hi Everyone,

I'm just a little irritated right now. I just crawled out from underneath my two week old Tacoma DC and guess what? There is a small amount of surface rust on some parts of the undercarriage. I don't like this at all. My truck is has not been off-road or in the rain yet!

After reading through some old posts, I guess this is all normal. Even so, I don't like it at all. Is there anything I can do to stop rust or is it pretty much a never ending battle?

Thanks for letting me vent.


Mitch

Any untreated weld on steel will rust. I would get under the truck with a wire brush and some black spray paint if its going to bother you. And I would do it ASAP!!
