TLDR: Two raw surfaces with no adequate protection between them cause galvanic corrosion and make our JL hinges bubble
Galvanic corrosion took over my 2018JL After 3 years of ownership AND 3 years of the best antirust service I could get
(hinges, front to back, hood, tailgate you name it)
I knew I couldn’t let that happen to my rubicon4xe. Or at least try and hold back what seems like an unstoppable force lol...
so today I started from the back, you will notice the raw door meets a raw hinge.I thank god there is a bushing in the door to prevent what I asume is a steel bolt from touching it. Not the case with the hinge. Altho you might find a very thin and sporadically applied film to the door it is imo not nearly enough to withstand the test of time. (Suprise,practically no film on bottom hinge lol)
I applied fluid film brand rust inhibitor to all and will most likely continue to reapply after every winter.
