Finally got the TJ undercoated. Rust inhibiting semi gloss black, with woolwax on top. Pictures here are just the paint, I'll need to upload the woolwax coating.

If you don't mind sharing, what did it cost? Looks like a lot of prep work including some disassembly.
I’m actually having the same treatment done to mine late next week at a shop here in NE Ohio.
They drop the suspension components to enable them to get the entire frame.
Having the underside of the body pan done also.
Gotta keep it protected.

"Did you see that jeep flip over? How terrible!"
"Yeah, but doesn't the underside look nice?

What paint did they use? When I had my OBS 7.3 I used Eastwood inhibitor paint - 2 nice coats. That was after scraping, sanding, converting, and prepping the very few spots that did have rust. It didnt last. A year later of being in the mag chloride / salt of MT the whole frame was rusting through.
Trying to decide if its worth the time to prep, clean, convert, paint, and then use metal protect or fluid film on the TJ or not - considering the old ford still rusted anyway.
Sure looks nice. Curious to see how the woolwax comes out, if it is messy and nasty like fluid film or if its a bit dry and cleaner.

$1200 - $1500 as I’m having the pan done also. Full suspension disassembly, total cleaning, and finished with a satin finished rust preventive paint. 3-4 day time frame.
Well worth the investment as I will be driving it this winter.

If I paid that much to make it look that good, I'd only drive it to church on Sundays, and only if the sun was shining.

Just trying to make it last my friend.

If I bought a nice west coast TJ and brought it back east, I would spend that $1500 in a minute.
Mines already clean. It’s gonna stay clean a lot longer after I get it done.
Well worth that price for that thorough of a job! That’s a good shop you found!
I’ve had my truck undercoated for 6 years since new, using NH Oil & Undercoating. It’s just a proprietary oil. This year before reapplying I pressure washed all the oily grime & gunk off and for the most part everything looks brand spanking new! Labels, torque marks, shiny bolt heads and all. It’s critical for preservation in the rust belt.
