Hey all, got a huge scare (appropriate it happened on Halloween) when I was under the front swapping out driving light bulbs. I found this unbelievably rusted front skid plate. Truck is a 2013, with not even 40k miles yet. I live in the salt belt, so this isn't going to get any better.
My question is: is this component JUST a skid plate, or does it serve some other structural purpose? I'm also highly concerned with the amount of rust on the other front suspension components. Nothing on this appears to be future servicable due to the heavy rust. On a side note, my frame rails seem to be just fine.
