Do you have a generator and a sawzall? My JY let's generators in. Maybe someone could loan you one.

If you have time I guess a hack saw could do the job.

Sweet thanks. Does it need clear coat on top though?

It won't look factory if you just spray it on bare metal. Factory paint is primed, has a couple layers, and clear coat. I think they bake it, too.

The rattlecan color is a match, but it will be an obvious touch up unless you put a fair amount of effort into it.

I mean, I prolly need to take it down to metal anyways, its rusty in those spots, bubbling. I have primer and some clear. I could give it my best try lol. Its in some less than obvious spots, except the ding above the gas lid. That'd probably look obvious.

The bubbling in the roof corner and window corner have just been getting visibly worse. I want to get rid of them before they become holes. I gotta do some serious fixing and rust prevention to the underside before this winter. Another salty season wouldn't fair well to the underbody.

I tried a better google search. It's near the oil pan for future reference.

Check out progressive. It was the cheapest when I shopped for insurance AND they had double the coverage everyone else offered, plus they had underinsured and uninsured motorist coverage.

I checked 21st century and they wanted $1200 for just 6 months. Cant justify spending that much when the jeep isn't worth that. I'm checking progressive now.
