IF you have the limited, another terrible place for rust is on the plate that the running boards sit on. These plates bolt to L brackets that bolt to the underside of the body. The running board plastic piece is held to this plate with plastic type bolts.... On mine, these plates were almost shot.

As well on the underside, another bad place for rust is right were the front fenders meet the front doors. On the underside, i found this to be a weak spot on mine......


Good Luck.
