95 Wrangler Body Lift/ Rust Nightmare 

Glad I️ could help! I️ was dreading the project but once I️ got into it and got a plan it wasn’t terrible

Workshop & Wilderness Adventures thanks! I think overall it took me about a month or month and a half of nights here and there to finish. Definitely was a very relieving project to finish. Eventually I’d like to get a new frame and tub and do something similar to what you did as rust preventative.

@@jtmoffroad Wow that's a lot of work but good on you for keeping the jeep alive. I would definitely recommend the Dinitrol 3125 cavity wax and hose for inside the panels and frame and Tetroseal on the outer, I swear by that stuff so much I order it from the UK and get it sent here to sweden. I will do a video on the stuff if your interested.

I saw you use and praise that stuff in your videos. When you used the torch and scraper to get the tetroseal off the frame, my jaw dropped. I couldn’t believe seeing shiny metal under neath. I’m about to be building a Chevy avalanche and really want to protect the frame like you did. I looked the stuff up and I’m going to see how to get it over here. I’ve never ordered anything over seas! My buddy who introduced me to your channel is going through another Cherokee build and he’s got a very similar build in mind to what you did. He’s sold on the tetroseal and dinitrol as well. It wouldn’t be a bad idea to do a video on the stuff sometime. I’ve seen you use it in your videos but it would be a great video by itself to show what you do and talk about longevity and what not.

@@jtmoffroad Yeah it's great stuff, can be messy and a extremely annoying if you put it on before needing to weld, but if you do the work then put the stuff on your done for many many years. Especially if you thin the first few coats down with thinners and then follow up with a couple of thick coats. I will make a video on the stuff and show how its holding up on the jeep.

Heck yea sounds great! Looking forward to it!

Man it’s the worst! Never ending battle

How bout it?! When it's anything I work on it's always a lot of work!

Thanks! Yea that’s the nice thing about having a fun vehicle to play with. Just have fun with it, if you can call all that work fun... haha! What year do you have and what do you have planned for it?!

Hey bud! I'm in the same boat! Probably a year behind I started last September 2019 would you happen to have and pics of yours and how far along its come?

I appreciate the compliment and watching my vids!! Honestly I think I was gonna put it in that tank and let it sit but then after the fact I decided I was gonna put it in my truck

Shawn Wicker yea I can do that! Won't be very soon but I'll get to it. Won't be able to recreate it but I'll show what I did. Not professional methods by any means haha.

jtmoffroad sounds great to me! appreciate it man

Haha I knew I was gonna have to add some structure back there somehow. Glad that project is behind me! Glad you had better luck!

Ohio then western pa. Yea salt sucks

Blah that still sucks! How did you go about taking care of that

same way you did, with a cut off wheel, and a welder to stitch it back up

Good deal! Shouldn’t have to ever worry about t again

Ugh that’s terrible! They definitely should have had a better design

I cut the floor open to pull the rest of the nut and bolt out that broke. Welded in new steel and welded a new nut in and welded it back shut. Does that answer your question?

@@jtmoffroad Gotcha, looks like I have some fun ahead of me.............

Good luck man!!! I hope you have better luck than I did. How bads the rust on yours?

@@jtmoffroad It's got rust, but it's a 95 so it's not as bad as some I've seen. I have to take the tank out to repair a spot on that gas tank crossmember, which it looks like you already have. I figured if I have to go that far, might as well do the body lift at the same time.

Sad to see this happen to a lot of jeeps...

I need to get a better torch so I can actually get bolts red hot. Some of those bolts were too far gone though but def would have helped for a good majority of them

jtmoffroad yea man either way you look at it it’s just a shitty job. Keep posting man I enjoy the videos

That’s one of my favorite perks of the body lift being able to spray out the top of the frame better

Glad to hear someone agrees with me! Good luck!

Hahaha to each their own. It’s a band I used to be in. Glad you found it informative at least. The music in my vids is much more laid back now. Thanks for watching!
