    New buyer help + rust concerns

    Hello everyone! I’m in the process of finding a TJ to purchase. I test drove one today and loved it. However, it seemed really rusty underneath. Is this surface rust normal? Also, are there other things I should be on the lookout for (besides the obvious)? Thank you in advance!
