@StThomas_Rider Welcome to the island car struggle, man. Heavy SUVs get their brakes completely cooked on these sharp switchbacks. You need to drop your transmission into a lower gear (L or 2) to use engine braking down those hills. For the body rust, our marine climate is vicious. Take it to a body shop near Sub Base immediately before that bubbling paint turns into structural holes. Sourcing heavy-duty brake rotors is highly recommended.
