    Is this rust a purchase deal breaker?

    No way, walk away! Dealer at $7K and a 4 banger, with that rust they gotta pay me the $7k just for my time to haul it off their lot. You can find MUCH better YJ's for less. Look on FB market place

    95 YJ Build (Sleipnir)

    95 YJ Build (Sleipnir)

    Should I buy this YJ?

    You got to ask yourself.. what's your trucks worth, true value, not personal value. Likewise, I'd be tearing that down to ground zero.. currently not my liking. Plus, many of times guys bolt that crap diamond plate over rust, so beware of that. You'd want to ask seller to show you those...

    Steel or synthetic winch rope?

    I've been using synthetic and a winch cover with zero issues. I hated the wire, got poked once.. ouch! And they rust.

    Spray on bed liner

    I just finished my '93 rebuild/restoration (see on build thread) and I removed the tailgate striker and the inner handle cover plate. Or you could mask off also with no issue. I also sprayed the inside of the tailgate so it all match the sides and wheel wells.
