Rusting skids?

I was under the KJ yesterday tightening up my sway bar and I noticed rusting spots on my skids. Has anyone painted these with something like a dupi-color truck ned liner or something to protect from rusting out? My kj only has 40k on her!

If you use them like thay should be used they will get scratches and rust , throw some paint on them and go have fun. I paint mine after every trip off road :wink:

I use regular old Rustrolem hammer tone goes on great last as long as anything, what ever you pu on will scratch off anyways so go for good but not way expensive. I buy it by the quart ! Trailer frames, rock rails everything

i just clean mine real well then hit them with a black spray bomb... just something to cover up the bare spots.

I've been using the Dupli-Color truck bed liner (spray can). Like tom said, just paint them with whatever - then paint them again, and again....
