Found RUST under My Cladding every one better check theirs!!!!

I bought mine used back in 2012. that was the first thing I inspected before driving it off the dealers lot and inquired where it came from originally. it came from Columbia, SC. and there was absolutely no rust to be found, even under the bed mat was spotless. making it even a better deal for a used Ava with the cladding. I do not live in a area that uses salt on a regular basis to clear the roads in the winter. If they do apply any form of salt after the roads have cleared and the first available day I find a car was and use a pressure washer to spray under the panels and fender wells. Knock on wood I have yet to even see rust build on any of the suspension parts so that is a good sign. I sympathize all you in the salt belt when it comes to your rides, it is a never ending battle and one that eventually is lost to the oxidation. I know my system works because I also have a 96 Ram 4x4 that I do the same way and there is no rust on it as well.
