Beezle

Well here it is after a little wire brushing: I used my drill with the wire brush for the big stuff then took my Dremel with the mini-wire brush and tried to get the seams the best I could.

On my new to me 88' MJ I have the sticky window situation too. The manual windows roll up and down but it takes alot of muscle and sometimes I need to assist the glass up/down with my other hand. Before I end up breaking something, is there any parts I can lube inside the door like the regulator or snake?? What kind if lube? I really don't want to replace something if it can be fixed with a little maintenance!

I took the wire brush to it and it looks pretty good. I was thinking about just doing a rusto job to it that was suggested from the guy I bought it from on naxja. I'll take some pics after the wire brushing I did. You kinda make it seem that the rust problem is a losing battle. I thought about POR-15 but wasn't sure if my problem is that serious. I'm open to any suggestions and will take any advice you professionals have, I hate rust too and want my MJ to be around for a long time. Thanks again!!

I am new here!! I just picked up my first MJ about a week ago and I'm excited to say the least! I have owned a couple of XJ's now I am venturing into MJ land. Specs: 88' MJ Short Bed, 170,000 miles 4.0L 5 speed BA10 D30/D35 231 t-case Bucket seat/ Center console swap mostly done. Secksy Maroon/Black paint and interior. This will be a slow build as I need to keep the XJ on the trails for the summer and I'm not quite sure which direction I'm gonna go with it just yet as far as modding it. Right now the priority list goes like this: Swap the BA10 for the good BA10 I got. (unless I come up on an XJ drive train for cheap for the AX15 swap) Fix a couple leaks. Trans mount/ Motor mounts. Finish installing the seats and interior. Take care of surface rust on the floor. Then there is little odds and ends to get it on the road. Here are some pics: I ripped out alot of the interior today and found some soggy carpet and alittle surface rust. The rust really isn't that bad and I should be able to take it off with a wire brush attachment on my drill. I haven't decided what I'm gonna cover the floor with once its removed, maybe herculiner? paint? Any suggestions? Also a note to self: While trying to hide that the MJ isn't registered yet from the HOA do not park backwards in the driveway otherwise the rear pinion seal will puke gear oil at a rapid pace. Thanks to everyone in advanced as I'm sure I'll have some questions about my new baby!!
