OK, the non-rust comments are freaking me out a little bit. The presence of rust on a brand new truck was shocking to me. I figured I could just treat it with rust converter, paint, and then maybe some MPHD. Should I be thinking otherwise? Is this something I should bring up to a local dealer? Got the truck in NY and live in AZ but it's new and I have an ext warranty

Here's the underside after rustoleum. In the AZ climate it should not be an issue going forward.

Next up will be cat back (thinking magnaflow with powdercoated tips), plastidip wheels and maybe fenders (although I like the contrast of the fenders so can't decide). Then I'm going to have LEX motorsports do a custom bumper for me. So many mods, so little $$.....

Haha. Went to TAMU for grad school but I still bleed orange. I do root for you boys in the SEC though - way to represent the Great Republic of Texas!

Hell yeah! I still can't believe how well we did this year! Heisman and beating Bama?! Hell of a way to spend my last football season here!

Out of curiosity, what did you study here?
