[QUOTE="Ericmaibach, post: 432265, member: 19920"] So I ended up buying a 1991 YJ yesterday on a bit of a whim. I own a JK, but am new to older Jeeps. This one runs great, and mechanically has been well maintained. Has some frame surface rust and some body rust. Questions: - Should I worry about the frame surface rust? Don’t know that I am willing to pull the body off, but thinking of trying to take a air needle scaler and grinder to it to get off as much rust as possible and then painting it. Has anybody tried this, will it do a decent job of prolonging the life of the frame? - As you can see I have some body rust to deal with. Any suggestions?
