Hubs rusty as a mofo!

So I've been changing a lot of tires since these stock Goodyears on the TRDOR suck ballz.

My hubs are so rusty. Looks like a part from a ghost ship that's been floating at sea for 50 years...

Is this normal? I should've taken a pic, but I didn't. But imagine something like this:

 

front and back?
I know my rear hubs right behind where the OEM rims sat are rusty as fuck. I almost want to sand the rust off.
its bad.

 

The dealer will tell you it's typical. Where the hell do you live?

Colorado! It's dry AF out here!

Noticed it on the back hubs. Been a few months since I changed a front tire...

 

Well I'm in canada, and in Ontario where I live they love to coat the whole road in salt so this was only 3 months of ownership in the winter. Curious what the next few years will be like

 

Christ. I thought Pennsylvania was bad.

 

Mine are rusted too....not even 2 months old.

 

Rust can be beautiful, embrace your taco rust! *thankfully not a tacoma pic*

 

Normal. If you don't like it paint them with rustoleum. Then do it again in a year. Then do it again in another year. Then do it agai....

 

Lemon law

 

What's so bad about the Goodyears? A lot of people talk tires but real world experience has left me with a positive impression of Goodyear all around.

These tires seem to wear really well, the off road grip is solid (considering its a stock offering), and they obviously have nothing to do with rusty hubs.

Like hiPSI said, rock rustoleum or get used to it.

BTW, in my neighborhood the water is crazy hard.. that shit will make your hubs rust like a mofo too. Perhaps some sort of water getting on them often?

 

Some guy has blown like 5 of them on this forum, i dont like the goodyear wranglers personally, but the duratracs are +1mill in my books.

 

Pretty normal. Some higher end vehicles and aftermarket parts have rotors and/or brake drums that are painted/coated that won't surface rust like that but it's nothing to lose sleep over

 

That was me. 5 of them in a year. Granted 2 were screws, one was likely nail/screw but not found, and at least 2 from rocks on forest service roads in Colorado. Granted I had this thing all over the mountains last summer, but I was on trails that I'd previously driven in other trucks with no flats. I lost all confidence in the Goodyear Wranglers. Last rock puncture was unrepairable, so I figured after 20k miles it's time to try something new. I liked them at first until the rock punctures. Got the Cooper Discoverer AT3s put on today and they're great so far. Time will tell...

I couldn't care less about the rust as long as it's normal. Maybe it's like weathering steel where the layer of rust forms the protective coating.

 

This, hubs/drums will always get surface rust, nothing to worry about...

 

Gen 2 were the same just wire brush it quick hit it with rustolum

 

so were the 1st gens, nothing new here.

 

My 2010 is bad. Bearings started going at 95K. Fast forward to 123k and I got my driver side off but no such luck with my passenger side. Wheel hub nut is really on there. Lol

 

Yap. Heat and salt and salt and heat and wet and heat.

 

Two years out, how were (are?) those Discoverer AT3s?

To be fair, I think you had quite a run of bad luck on those Wranglers. I once picked up bolts three months in a row in LA in my mustang. Taught me to eyescan for nuts and bolts everywhere I drive now.
