I think that's what happened. The whole interior was coated in some kind of liner which probably trapped the moisture and it snowballed from there.
What did you do to your TJ today?

I had a spare mopar one and have another on order. Apparently there are still a few that can be ordered through the dealership.

Looks like it’s just hopes and dreams holding that together….
Grab a bore camera and run it down the torque box to assess where you're at as far as floor damage and/or replacing torque boxes. Torque boxes likely rusting from the inside out. Same with the floor pan - you can assess top and bottom this way.

Spending the night at my brother's in Greenback, TN tomorrow and then
No, I don't have it wired to the Jeep as a dual battery yet. All I have to do is tilt the passenger seat up and I can grab it by the handles and lift it out easily.

Over the past two days I've done a full brake overhaul. New Powerstop OE full replacement drum kit in the rear plus new wheel cylinders. And a new 15" BBK from Black Magic and extended brake lines up front. All that's left to do is bleed and break in.

Installed a new stereo and kicker speakers in the soundbar. Need new ones for the front now. And figure out the factory subwoofer. Worked before I installed this. Used all the wires

Painted dash and center console and reinstalled. Better than I expected.
ran out of paint, super cold hit and problems with well... so finally getting back to it. Painting door panels and visors next.
Paint appears to adhere well but the sides of center console are being marked up by seat belt buckles...
Installed touch screen radio with backup camera. Radio sucks but generally runs android auto ok. Backup camera great.

Majority of factory subwoofers require a "control module/interface" to retain them when using an aftermarket headunit.

Dang phone kicked me offline before I finished replying. But IF our Jeeps don't require that adapter, I'd start by checking the remote turn on wire (sends on/off signal to the amp), and the grounds.
By the way that looks I’d have a gander at the torque boxes
Please tell me more about this battery box. Did you make it? Or is it off the shelf?

i have never done drum brakes before but your old ones look like they had quite a bit of material left

really love the paint color - much better than the old gray
They did, but they've never worked. I know TJ rears are weak, but like literally barely engaged and the adjusters weren't working. I decided that while I was doing the front I was just going to start fresh on the rear. The full kit is only like $160 so it's a fairly reasonable price to know their condition. Also, the actual drum was pretty glazed and some of the springs were stretched out or rusty.
