Default Under coating/ rhino lining ?

Hey guys,

I am new to the hot sun of California as I have just moved here from Chicago. Being as I just purchased a new 2dr sport and it's currently being built, I was curious if any guys on the west coast under coat or rhino line their Jeeps to help protect the metal underneath? I have never purchased a new vehicle before this and I am just trying to figure out ways to keep it going strong for many, many years to come. I know the under coating was a big thing back east.

Just looking for direction on this, if anyone can help a new Jeeper out!

I lived in the Middle East for a while and almost every Jeeper there did an undercoating because of all the salt... Never heard of a bed liner being used like that but specific undercoating works well...

Rust generally isn't an issue here in Cali. Cal-Trans doesn't use salt, just sand. Unless you drive into the ocean you don't need to worry about going crazy too keep rust at bay.
