"Got the hitch reinstalled. Jeep looks a lot better overall, but it'll take some work to make those holes in the back door disappear. "

Thats's what they make decals for.

Nice to hear all the Jeep love. This Jeeps main purpose will eventually be hauling my sled. Someday I'd like to sink a couple thousand into it and get it looking something like the red one. Skip the fancy rims and front bumper I could probably be there for ~$3,000. With bumper probably close to $4,000......then I'd have to get a matching rear bumper with tire carrier, now we're talking $5,000......then a real lift kit with quality suspension another $2,000. It'd be nice to turn it into a real 4-wheeler though.

I spent the last 2 days under the Jeep ball peen hammering, chiseling, scrubbing, and scraping off 18 years worth of corrosion. No eggageration, probably 10 pounds of corrosion removed.

I pretty much got everywhere besides under the exhaust and I'll do that when it gets replaced. I sprayed on 12 cans of black rust preventive paint. 14 counting the 2 used for the rims.

The rust holes don't look quite so bad now on the back. I'm going to bondo them and make them disappear eventually.

The pictures don't really do it justice, but I'll still share them.

The jeep is sweet now, I can't wait to get some tires on it Friday.
