Rust on my 2018 trd off-road

Just purchased a 2018 trd-off-road. I had the dealership undercoat it, but worried that it wasn’t well done or that they may have missed some spots. I know they’re just suppose to coat the frame but what do you guys think about the other rust? Should I be worried and what should I do about it?

appreciate the feedback

it would take 100 years to rust through those parts

After taking a closer look at it, it does seem they did a decent job with everything else. Just surprise they didn’t do the rear axel. And you’re right the 2nd pic looks sketch to me too. It is undercoat but not sure why they didn’t spray the entire thing, because it looks like the were spraying just the subframe and the rest is just overspray onto the bolt.

Well at least its undercoat. Thats better than paint. But obviously doesn't do jack shit for the areas they didn't cover

Definitely a shitty job from the dealership, but like mentioned the surface rust was already there, it won't go away.

Next year, go to Krown rustproofing were they'll not only do your frame, but will do the whole truck. You won't get any warranty as it's already to 5 years old, but doing it yearly will drastically save it from further rust down the road. When I go, I pay $120 Ca$h deal. My trucks 6 year old paint still looks like new and I dont wax or anything...

Defiantly recommend Krown! I am happy with them, fast, clean, friendly, priced right etc. They also spray in and behind body panels, like fenders, quarters, hood etc. For what little they charge, it's not worth my time to F with the mess at home.
