I bought this Jeep over the winter and it looks a tad bit too rusty for me to drive around. So I'll do what I can to make it look decent.

This is one of the biggest drawbacks of living in NY....we use salt to make the roads drivable....flocking brilliant I tell ya. Sand seems to work pretty good for the rest of the country/world.

First pics are the Jeep untouched. Then the wheels being reconditioned, then the Reese hitch being reconditioned. The hitch is sitting in the garage painted and waiting to be reinstalled now.

Check out the 2-3 pounds of rusty corroded steel I knocked off the Reese hitch with a hammer.

Ordered some Good Year Wrangler AS/R yesterday. By the end of summer I hope to get some fender flares, a 2 inch lift, and some 31" tires.

More pics to come.............

Salt is where I make all my money in the winter dude.
What year is that Grand? I have a '93 with 195.000 on it that looks brand new. I just got rid of my Wrangler that I had for like 10 years also. Yeah, I guess you could say I'm pro Jeep.
Remember....if it doesn't say Jeep on it, it's a sissy car.

You'd still have a job sanding the roads right?

She's a '93 with 105,000. The guy that owned it was old and never washed the salt off.

The interior is great, non-smoking vehicle and lightly used. Wish I could find a replacement tailgate and get rid of the worst of the rust.

Sand just makes a mess. It really doesn't do anything.
Most of the customers that we support expect bare blacktop within 24 hours of the end of an event. Salt and liquid de-icers are the only way to achieve that. That's why we make the big bucks.

Salt isn't so bad if you aren't too lazy to wash it off regularly I guess. I'm just mad at salt because my Jeep has been neglected.

dude it looks like an awesome project!

Here's my "new" Reese hitch.
I'll install it later today and take some pictures.

Nice little project. Lookin great!

Jeep fan myself. Had a Cherokee for years (not grand). Family outgrew it so we replaced it with a Commander. Fun to drive, but still too small and the stadium seating sucked - so sold it after a year.

Now I'll just have to wait until the kids get near driving age and talk them into fixing up a CJ5 or sumthin.....

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.

First car, silver Cherokee vanilla JeeP ftw yours looks much nicer than mine did.
