That is a clean frame. Drop that transfer case skid and take care of that quick though. I put spacers (think transfer case drop spacer) after I removed the rust and painted. This helps keep moisture from being sandwiched in there. I'd touch up the small spots of rust and coat it with Eastwood or spray it with fluid film a couple times a year.

Some of the things you might want to check into are;
Where are the new brake lines due to recent service?
The same with new rubber hoses at transmission cooling lines to radiator.
What’s up with the blue silicone on the brand new drain plug on the oil pan?
Why is the tranny pan so clean? Or is that the wet look?
It otherwise looks pretty good underneath, what does the rest look like because we’re all dying to see?

Not sure what you mean by that but looking at the photos the dealer posted you have to wonder why this has been replaced, stolen vehicle or repo, somebody damaged the old one most likely. Looks like a lot of highway miles or a newer interior was installed. Get a Carfax if you’re worried, otherwise a great looking TJ. IMO
Thats like Jeep porn.
Looks new. Looks like lots of regular maintenance has been done too. Looks like I'll need to come to Florida to shop for a TJ.

Not silicone, it's so the oil change place can tell if the plug has been removed... In case someone brings it in and says they didn't fill it with oil, etc... Tamper evidence.
I asked about the tranny pan.
"tranny pan and oil pan clean, always clean off undercarriage when we first get them in. got dirty again after driving it around but pans still clean, was also recently resealed.
Oil drain plug was there when we got Jeep. does not leak from plug or anything.
Has extremely small oil leak if you let it sit a couple of days. More like a wheep. After a cpl of days there will be oil on the ground about size of dollar coin"
extremely small oil leak?

Copy, guess I never knew that cause I do all my own service.
The only thing I see, and this is completely OCD on my part, is that both the transmission pan and the transmission cooler lines have been recently replaced, cleaned or worked on. I'd just be sure it shits smoothly. A good owner or mechanic would have fixed those things so it's not an issue but at a dealer I'd treat it as a caution flag.
