Did I just purchase a problem?

I have seen this referenced so I went and searched out a "how to" and cannot find one. I am looking for phtotos of the exaxt location and how big the holes should be.
I just bought a clean frame TJ and live in PA so I am planning on coating the interior with Eastwood and thinking about also adding the frame drain hoes as well. I don't want to worry about frame rust after I spent so much time trying to find a rust free frame.
OP
I strategically try to remind her that while not making her full of herself too quickly!
OP
Is there a how to write up for this? I have seen it mentioned many times, but there are plenty of much more skilled and experienced people on here than me!

I would love a clear start to finish How to on Eastwood (including prep) and adding drain holes to the frame. I cannot find it anywhere, maybe my search is not clearly defined enough.
OP
This site has spoiled us and set a standard for quality write-ups, a simple YouTube video from bubbajoe will no longer be good enough for me......
OP
Thats not frame swap material....that is Jeep swap material!
I know...not mine, but now you know what us people in the Northeast have to watch out for. Mine does not go out and play in the winter.
I have to know. Would you have turned this Jeep down if you had seen this before purchasing?
No, but I don’t think it even needs a write-up. It’s just spraying as much of it as you can inside the frame. Simple as that
OP
Not immediately, I probably would've done a lot more scoping inside the frame and then reached out here for a solution process first.
Do I remove bumpers then stick a dryer vent cleaner on my drill and ream the whole frame before applying the frame coating to the entire thing? Or do you just magnet inside and remove as many specs as you can and spray directly over the rust?No, but I don’t think it even needs a write-up. It’s just spraying as much of it as you can inside the frame. Simple as that
You won't be able to access the interior of the frame like you are thinking without the bumpers but it is a good idea to remove them and treat any rust you can find.
OP
Thanks for bursting my bubble...... I was hoping to be onto something there! so do you just magnet out what you can and coat over the rest?

This is why it needs a write up. There is no clear A to z of how to proceed and I see this asked (because I searched for the write up) over and over. Any pro's want to take a stab at an A to Z write up of how to clean, prep and treat a frame (All level of rust: surface rust, slightly rusty and clean) to prevent rust of the frame?
