PSA take off your tire carrier once in a while

Found a solid bubbly rust spot just behind my carrier on the tailgate. Fixed her up real good this weekend. Would have never found it without removing the entire carrier.

Now take off the taillights, license plate holder, fender flares, bumpers, etc., etc.

Living in NJ, I assume your whole Jeep is a solid bubbly spot.
