I recently removed my rust covered fuel tank skid plate in my 2009 2 DR JK, I have rust proofed this jeep, 6 out of the 8 years I've owned it. I missed a couple years, but felt I was keeping on top of the rust for the most part. This vehcle spent 4 years in Toronto, 2 years in St. John's Nfld...

So I saw some rust forming along the edge of the bottom of my windshield frame. Left it for a while, 3-4 months, until I had time to take care of it. Went to sand at it, my finger went through it, and I knew that wasn't good. Put the windshield down and found this. I know the frames rust in...

Hi Everyone, Does anyone have any knowledge of potential legal recourse on buying a jeep from a private seller where the previous owner covered up extensive frame rust with bondo and por15? I recently bought a 2000 TJ from a private seller in New Jersey. I took it on a test drive and...

I have an idea. As we all very well know, our ZJ's are vulnerable to rust on the rocker panels. I was one of the unfortunate who purchased mine from a PO who didn't give a rat's tail about the body condition. Here's my predicament: There was rust all over it when I purchased it. Areas of...

I recently bought a '99 XJ with low mileage - 128,000 miles. I think I got a pretty good deal $3000 because the headliner was torn up and the hood and fenders had a few small dents and the back leaf springs were flat and had some rust. Most of the car is rust free. But the previous owner used...

I believe this WARN tire carrier was added to the Jeep back in 05. It is in dire need of some TLC. It has all the usual problems- flaking finish, ruptured vertical member, and binding/rusting spindle. I am planning on taking the bumper & tire carrier off to do the required maintenance...

I'm trying to decide how much to take off the price of a 98 tj SE. For a 98 its in great condition, except it has frame rot in front of the drivers side rear tire. There is no other rust on the frame.

So yesterday we were going to change the catalytic converter on our 98 TJ and thought it would be convenient to remove the transfer case skid plate for better access. once everything was properly supported we went to remove the 6 bolts that hold it in place. 4 of them rusted out and are no...

Hey guys I've had this CJ7 for about 1 year now and I've been finally digging in and rebuilding as much as I can figure out with that Hanes manual. Now I think I've got the engine running nice and pretty sounding but its time to work on cosmetics. I have a bit of a rust problem from the previous...

I have a 1995 jeep yj project I’ve been working on. I just finished the chasie and wiring. I now have to tackle the body work. Over the rear wheel wells there is surface rust and small rot holes. I was wondering what I could do about it that doesn’t involve bondo or welding. Maybe there are...

I need to stop looking under my XJ. :brickwall Went to use a wire wheel under it today and its worse than I thought. The rust has spread from the rockers, to the underside paneling and onto the rear leaf shackles. The frame rails are all good so I think I'll need to cut out the shackles and...
