Greetings! It's been a number of years since I've been active on an auto forum but since the information from this group (through non-member searching) has been so helpful prior to my purchase I thought it would be good to sign up to collect some qualified feedback.
Yesterday I picked up a rust free (I'm in MN, the Jeep is from TX) tan Rubicon with 90k miles and appears to be in great mechanical (original) condition. I'm passing my current Jeep Liberty on to my middle daughter to drive so the TJ will become my daily driver. I have 2 months to knock out some initial projects that include a lift, different wheels / tires combo, stereo upgrade and some ancillary items.
I've been doing some searching on these items in the forum so far and have most of what I was hoping to find. The one item that I am seeking some advice on relates to rust prevention. As of today, this Jeep has zero (and I really got up an into it underneath today) rust. Now I live in MN and have a heated garage (and an unlimited carwash that I use almost daily) but still, I feel I need to do something to protect this to the best of my ability.
Thoughts on undercoating (argh), hosing it down in Fluid Film, etc??? Any areas in particular I should focus on? This is my first TJ so any advice is greatly appreciated!
Thanks!
