Flush mount LED pods. Rust Problems?
I've got a rugged ridge rear bumper and am wondering whether cutting the holes in it for the flush mount pods as backup lights would be worth it. I've heard from a few people that once you cut the hole to mount them that the bumper will begin to rust around the hole. What should I do to prevent it?

It's worth it. Make sure you properly prep and seal the newly cut and exposed edges.
Don't mind the smart-a$$ remarks from people who think they're better than everyone. because someone is asking a question to be safe and protect their investment, they try to make them feel stupid. People like that claim it's in good fun. But they're just being an a$$
I looked. You're new. 1 post. I know very little. But if I ask a question I'd like to believe people would be here to help with an answer.
Isn't that the point of these forums?
Good luck.

So, the rust can appear, but if you prep properly I wouldn't worry about it. CRC (as well as many other brands) make a rust converter. They also work as a rust prevention plan. And they are much more durable than regular paint or bed liner etc. I use the CRC and has always worked for me long before I started doing any of the minor stuff on jeep. Other projects. I live and work by ocean in salt water and salt air. Never a problem. It's a red aerosol can. So mask off what you don't want sprayed as it's hard to remove and spray away. Viola!
