    I was doing some off road driving in my stock 2020 TRD OR with a buddy of mine & there were some rock crawling sections on which I unfortunately scraped my truck's undercarriage and tow hitch . Some are on bolted on parts, which can be replaced if rust ever gets too bad but there are some on the actual truck frame as well. Anyways, it has been raining a lot recently in my other wise land locked and dry state, so the spots that were scratched developed a bit of what looks like surface rust, what would you guys recommended to stop the spread of the rust?Imagepipe_0.jpg Imagepipe_1.jpg Imagepipe_2.jpg Imagepipe_4.jpg Imagepipe_5.jpg

    If it really bugs you, wire brush and clean the rust off then repaint it.
