    I agree rust sucks, but it'll never rust through dom tubing or steel skids. They're too thick. I'll touch them up when I change front diff fluid again.

    Like, so many.
    If I go unpainted steel for skids, what’s the best way to protect from rusting?

    I rustoleumed mine, easy to touch up and it wont matter what you use, if you drag it across a rock itll come off. If you never plan on going wheeling I would powdercoat as it'l be more long lasting

    No matter what you use (powder coat/paint) you will end up rattle canning em on a semi-regular basis for touch ups. Easiest way to keep the rust out that I have found.

    I’m saying, what if I don’t want to paint it? Do I have to since it’s steel? Or I Can I do a clear protectant of some sort?

    I mean, idk if clear will stick to steel even if you sand it. I don' know that I would recommend that it'll look terrible.

    I'm hoping for that as well and it usually happens. The boss gets tired of being here by 11 on Wednesday and tells everybody to go home
