My 2014 Nautical Blue roof's clear coat is flaking.. Guess the rumor of bad blue paint could still be a thing

Nice, sounds like you are good for a while with some light rust preventatives. Have you tried feeling around under the foam about 3" inboard of the recover hook? There is a spot weld that is just a bowl for water to sit...Mine is completely gone lol Yeah im pretty bummed on it man.. Are the...

I really appreciate your input on the matter. If you are talking about the second image from the top where my finger is a couple inches from the 90degree bend. That "bulge" area was all rust flake about a 1/8" that came off with some scraping of a flat head screw driver... Very certain this...

No, its a 2014 I bought about a month ago... Didn't notice the rust until putting on the front valence. Have you taken a look at your 4runner lately? I highly doubt the parts were replaced. The bumper support that looks mostly intact is pretty bad as well, I pushed a screw driver through it...

Yeah I see your point. However, everywhere else on my frame is near perfect I launch trailered boats about once a month at most and rinse the undercarriage after each time. I recently installed a TRD front valence and that caused me to discover this excessive amount of rust.

Can you share pics of your rust? I'd recommend checking out the front bumper support frame pieces too... Mine have totally rusted out due to the water absorbing foam pieces.... Well that and it rains a lot here. I submitted a complaint to NHSTA for frontal impact safety concerns.
