Too much rust?

Ok, anythng specific I want to check out on the Rubicons? Think I might want to jump on this one.
I would think the only thing specific to check on a Rubi is locker function. Everything else would be the same as any other TJ.
definitely check the lockers and get underneath it and check it for trail use/trail damage. Jacked up skid plates, deep scratches or dents on the oil pan, etc.

There will always be something to work on and your wallet will always be empty, I'd hate to admit how much I have thrown into my 03 Sahara so far lol

Thanks for all the help on this trend guys. Just took that Rubi for a ride, that 4.10 first gear is hysterical. Gonna take her home, and now for the $$$ build trend :grazy:....
x2 decide what you need vs want for the wheeling you do. You are already locked, lifted, tires, etc. Could use a winch and an Anti Rock would be cool. Other than that, I would do all fluids, belt, filters, etc., a complete service so you know it is all done.Pace yourself
A real good to do would be to clean up the rust and paint and/or Fluid Film the underside.
OP
That's definitely first before anything else, I'll end up taking the rear bumper off and dealing with that, then the skid and coat up the whole under. ... And of course put the "ear muffs" back on the front bumper
