Okay, found these when I was cleaning my jeep (pre-road trip ritual cleaning) and this trouble spot is on the door hinges, there are two oval indents and two round indents on the forward and rear doors.

make sure you clean them out good with a q-tip, then if you have rust, apply a closely matching rust-olem then a clear nail polish to top it off.

Don't want rust on those door hinges.

That is a good tip.

I've also found another potential rust spot. The bottom of the frame, where the condensation that results from running the A/C runs down. I noticed a little surface rust building up on my frame in this spot, and this weekend plan to re-direct the flow of the water by extending the tube down from where it comes out at the firewall, down to just below the frame so that all of the water hits the ground and doesn't touch anything other than the hose on the way down. I'll be sure to post pics of this and a small write if i get around to doing it this weekend.

haha - sorry about that folks!

I opened this thread right before my phone rang (stupid work) and was not able to read it then... but I wanted to check it out when I had time.
