It looks like the paint is just chipping. You should be ok with just cleaning depending on how bad it is.

If you need I have a set of stock rubicon shocks and coils for a 2 door with less than a thousand miles for free, you pay shipping and they're yours

Thanks for the "you'll be fine's" after further inspection looks like the paint. :thumb:
Olram- yes they are the mopars that end in 18. I think I figured out that is the legnth of the coil in the 4 dr rubicon? You are right in pointing out that it could be found easily. But... Where is the fun in that? I would of had to do some kind of upgrade

True, but if it's just paint, then no big deal.

my ocd talking.....if you wanted to cleanup some of that rust and protect it a bit more before winter, take a wire brush and remove any loose rust then spray it with some Krylon rust protector converting primer or rust tough fix.
painter buddy of mine directed me to this and stuff works well and doesn't require a lot of prep work.

I'm on the same OCD level, just didnt know where to start. After seeing all undersides of the west coast and southern jeeps I get a lil envious. I have done a lil googling on rust removal and found mixed ideals. I'll try this method for sure. Had a buddy laugh at me and say "that isn't a lot of rust"-It is too much for me though, so thanks.

Google this stuff called fluid film. I just started using it. Looks promising,

Were you able to find this around town or did you get it online? I've been to 5 places and no one has heard of it. If you think it helps I'll get it online.
Also a new find on the frankenjeep-18 inch wheels on the ground but a 16 inch wheel on the spare.:thinking:

Dang, thats where I went today. Guy looked it up and said he's never heard of it. They had a bunch of krylon just not the rust tough fix or any type of rust converter period. Bogus that the heavily salted chicago area people arent being told about this stuff.
