I bought a special pad that fits to my grinder for taking off surface rust.... used it on other things and does the job well... then some primer and top coat.
I think I have some CRC zinc based black or Rustoleum works great too.
Flush the shit out of them, then prime and paint. Nice job - far better looking than my hack job.
Thanks. I'm going to drill some holes near the lower control arms (4 more holes in total), and I have to do a bit of rust mitigation on the bottom side of the frame where the skid plate rests against the frame. I have just a bit of surface rust there. I'm going to get that cleaned up and then prime and paint all of these places.
Any recs for primer and paint?
I finally hung my hardtop hoist, and my door hanger, and put them to use. Then mounted my doors-off mirrors. All stuff I’ve had for over a year but couldn’t drive it last summer so didn’t bother setting it all up.
Now in summer mode - the fam got ready for a maiden voyage … and the sky opened up with rain just a few seconds after this pic.
Back in the barn she goes!
Soon enough … at least now it’s ready to rock!

The foot lights in the front wasn't cutting it, even with LED's in them. Since the pack of LED strip lights I bought had 4, I put 1 on each side just above the footwell lights.

Nice ride!
What do you put on them to keep them so dark?? Mine look a little faded.
I tragically dropped my tire on the center cup and it exploded into a thousand pieces LOL. Can’t seem to find a replacement anywhere for cheap.
But look at the departure angle!!!!!!!
Spending Saturday at Huguenot Memorial Park exploring the beach and jetty areas made me realize that I needed a new set of tires.
Between ongoing sales promotions and military discount; I drove a way with a new set of (5) Firestone Destination ATs's for less than $900.

Since I am refreshing the front end of my TJ, any tips for refreshing those 2 rubber bumperettes on the front of the bumper? I washed them and they still look faded. Should I paint them with bumper paint, or try Cerakote on them?
I'm off work for a day next week. I'm currently making plans on taking the Jeep out on an offroad trail, finding a campsite with a view of the mountains and no cell service, and camping for a night.
Summit seat bushings installed @ 117,136. I'd say hard to beat for the money if they survive.
