I am new to a Gladiator coming from a Wrangler. Corrosion between the hinges and the doors was becoming a huge issue with my Wrangler. A few months after a year of ownership corrosion started to form on my hood and all of the doors. My hood hinges were visibly chipping and the doors were getting worse before I traded it in. My Wrangler had numerous issues along with the manual transmission.

I created this thread to begin documenting these types of issues. If it becomes an issue with the Gladiator as well. Please post pictures.

Kind of hard to see in the pics but it’s a lot more noticeable in person.
