Opinions on this driveshaft rust?

[jlravin]

Hi All,
I'm considering buying this 2017 JK, looks and drives great, just wanted opinions on the state of the driveshaft. Is this rust? It looks like surface rust, but the manufacturer sticker is still on the part (and the sticker is pristine), so that makes me think this may be intentional? Let me know what you all think. First time Jeep buyer
Thanks!

That's just normal surface rust on a unpainted driveshaft, nothing to worry about.

Yep, normal surface rust.

Thats a factory option.

Thanks guys, any benefit to treating with POR-15? Or no need?

No need.
You will probably break the driveshafts before rust in close to a issue.
