Thank you I guess some people have called it a barn find with the condition its in for being an 01 with very little rust and no rot.
Very lucky to not have any rust problems especially in your area. The first thing I would do is try to keep it that way. Drill drain holes in the frame clean the inside out good and check for internal rust. Eastwood Internal frame coating is a good product to use when you get done. Our Jeeps are very prone to frame rust because Factory didn’t put any drain holes in it.
Thank you for the advise. What I did so far was completely strip out the interior and what little rust there was I sanded it out then I painted the tub with a rubberized coating. I will drill a drain hole in it I didn't think of that. I was pleasantly surprised when I pulled the carpet and barely saw any rust.
Thanks I am looking forward to having some fun with it... Although I did buy it for my wife I seem to be the one having a blast
I always drill 1/2" holes about 6" on each side of the skid. That's where most water settles IMO.
All of the above. Look at the holes in the side of the frame. They are 1-1.5" high on the sides, so any water (car wash too) settles in there.
To the OP, the color is Sienna Pearlcoat if you need touchup paint. Most people think it's burgundy.
I see. I wanted to be sure there wasn't another source (AC condensor) or something.
A good wife is hard to find. A good Jeep is priceless. I've had 3 (EX) wives and 19 Jeeps. The Jeeps cost me must less in the end and were way more fun to play with after several years

Keep tabs on your wallet. It's about to get so thin that you'll forget it's even in your pocket.
Also: if you haven't memorized your credit card number in under five days, you're not doing it right.
