89eliminator Posted June 18, 2007 Share Posted June 18, 2007 i undercoated the bottom of the Jeep. It was way easier with the tank out. something to think about if it looks bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JeepcoMJ Posted June 18, 2007 Share Posted June 18, 2007 agreed, but remove rust first...wire brushing with a powered tool is preferred for that, then spray it with rust converting/preventative spray can paint, or just the spray and no wire brushing. then wait a day or two and then undercoat it. the undercoat will stay better, and your truck will thank you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SomeNew Name Posted June 18, 2007 Author Share Posted June 18, 2007 yeah I was thinking about doing that, cause I have the whole box off right now... ohh yeah and every stud/bolt broke off inside the box too.. just my luck... and while my buddie was helping me move the box.. he dropped his side by accident.. and crushed the bedside inwards right around the gas filler... so I wasn't too happy... But yeah I got a can of simple rust converter.. and some rubberized undercoating.. I was hoping it would do the trick.. cause a can of por-15 here in canada is like $60.. I don't know how much it is down there.. but forget that jazz.. I'm a cheap mofo.. also inregards to the gas tank... I was thinking more along the lines of the pump.. or something else.... but great advice none the less.. thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

87manche Posted June 18, 2007 Share Posted June 18, 2007 inspect the brake lines that run up there, replace if there's any rust. You can't get to them with the tank in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SomeNew Name Posted June 18, 2007 Author Share Posted June 18, 2007 inspect the brake lines that run up there, replace if there's any rust. You can't get to them with the tank in. Yeah .. most of my brake cables are fine.. some scaling in some spots.. but nothing to start worrying about. For the saftey.. all I'm going to do is just clean them up a wee bit and then paint them.. so they look nice... like I said .. I'm cheap. and the rubberized undercoating here is like $8 bucks as well.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
