So I happened to take a look at the underside of my jeep and noticed some rust patches in quite a few areas. It's not that I am concerned, just curious but the jeep has 6000 kms on it and I am wondering if this rust is normal for the amount of kms on it? What do you all think?

Eastwood makes a Rust Encapsulator works very well. I wouldn't get to hung up on amount of rust and mileage.... it's more about where and what the Jeep has been exposed to.
You could have 200 miles on it and if you ran it through the water while at the beach, a week later you are going to have rust and conversely with 20,000 miles of nothing but summer driving or Arizona living - you probably won't have so much as a hint of rust.
Best in the business for what you are looking at is the Eastwood product.

I used this on my TJ:



Sprayed it right over the rust, no prep or primer. Looked fantastic and stayed that way for two years until I sold it. The rust is "normal" and probably not a big concern but it can't hurt to cover it up and it looks good too. Then again, I live in Nevada. Rust isn't a big issue. In a wetter climate, you might want to use the Eastwood or something similar.

Wow that's crazy. So did you not even scrape the rust off the underside before applying?
