I get it, everyone is different when it comes to what their standard is. Also that middle finger emoji makes me laugh everytime!That seems like the general rule with rust... it wants to kill your car, it's just a matter of slowing it down

it always makes me smile.
Lack of rust is one of my favorite things about living in the desert. My standard is no rust
I had a similar issue and decided to tackle it myself. I ordered a new third brake light and did the silicone seal like others mentioned. All the tailgate work was wire brush primer and Bondo with a lot of sanding. The whole project took about a week because I work full time. For the time and effort it turned out just fine for me. As others have said if you want the problem gone get a new hitch. I was able to get to a point I didn't think it would spread further and didn't look too bad when I was done
the rust is only bad in 1 or 2 areas. if you are an avid diyer you can weld in patch panels (not hard at all just a little time consuming). my father and i replaced every single floor pan in his 96 jeep cherokee (you could see the highway below your feet). also eastwood makes a rust encapsulator that has a 3 foot hose with a 360 degree spray nozzle that you can feed up into the shell. this will stop the rust and prevent new rust from forming.
