Hi everyone. This is my first post here.
I just got my first Jeep. It is a 97 TJ. I inherited it from my late grandfather. I am new to Jeeps, so I want to learn.
I looked at the frame very carefully. It is in good shape. It is strong and has no bad spots. I want to keep it that way. I plan to drive it on the road every other week. I also want to take it on some moderate trails.
I want to fix the frame so it does not rot. I have a big question. How do I get the dirt and rocks out of the frame? There is "junk" inside the rails. I want it clean before I coat the inside.
I am going to drill drain holes next weekend. Should I use a pressure washer to wash the dirt out? Or is there a better way?
Also, I have not bought paint or rust protection yet. What is the best kind to use?
If you help me, I will take pictures of my work. I will post them here to help other people later. Thank you for the help!
