89 Pioneer
Hello everyone, I'm new to the forum and to jeeping. I just recently picked up an 89 Cherokee Pioneer for a good price. The rockers are pretty much shot so I'm at some body work right now. Living in Maine with the winters and salt, I'm concerned about rust on the frame, etc. Anyone know any problem spots to keep an eye out for, or repair techniques If I need them. Also I haven't looked her over an awful lot yet, is the entire undercarriage undercoated from the factory?
I really like the Jeep so far, so I think I'll put some money into it. Was thinking of POR15 undercoating the whole underside if I need to. Anyone got any tips on what mods / repairs to tackle first on an old 89?
Thanks a lot, Sean

Cherokees tend to have alot of floor rot you can really only see it when you pull the carpet here is my thread

yeah, the rockers and the floors tend to be the worst spots. I live in WI and def. have problems with the salt. also the lower parts of the doors and around the top of the windshield as well. but don't be as alarmed with those places if you havent noticed any yet. mainly the floors and rockers.
