I don't have rust problems LOL, I just use that hitch a lot cause 2wd. Now I am not going to go out and get stuck cause I dont want the hitch to snap off, it is rusted really bad.

I will paint the drums when I become less lazy.

So far my gas tank skid plate rusted all the way though. I have to use penatraiting oil on every bolt or I risk snaping it. I think I will paint the frame with rustoleum every year to survive the winter.

That reminds me I have to paint my bumpers ASAP. My ranger came from NH so it wasn't pretty.

Then I took the undercoating and brushed it on the bottom of the doors and tail gate and wheel wells lol

I spent 2 days rustproofing the thing i didnt spray it on to thick but everything is covered and sprayed and looks like its been rhino lined underneath lol
