[quote="jay79cj7"]My tub is extra rusty on the front floor pans, back floor where the floor meets the wheel well, and below the tailgate. I think common bad spots in the frame are mostly in the rear, where the frame meets the bumper (and the shackle connects) and where the rear spring main eye bolts up.


Your jeep is rusted becuase you live in the salt pit of the north. I grew up in palatine, so I am speaking from experience. Lived in that are for 24yrs. They will salt the roads so bad all you can see is pink or white on the blacktop depending what color they used. I have a 88yj I bought down here in florida with no even a spot of rust and no rust protection on it with 188K miles.

By the way has it warmed up yet? My brother in law said you are still in the 30s.
