I have been doing alot of small wheeling (field romping to and from my treestand for hunting season) but since the winter and lack of cash flow, Rausch Creek Trips have been cut down. But this weekend we are going up to my cabin, I am so pumped. Theres some good wheeling up there for sure

My jeep has cancer

Here is the worst side. (I know this is nothing compared to some, but it still needs to get fixed)

Theres another spot like this on the other side at the same place.

That trim panel is a royal PITA to get off cause the latch mechanism for the hatch. I am going to have my bud patch it. It turns out, it was alllll wet under the carpet, even though the carpet wasnt wet? My hatch leaked for a week or two before I changed how my CB Antenna was wired, so that probably caused the wetness. But this was from those screws for the plastic trim. Water splashes up from the tires and works its way in there.

Just open the hatch and take out the screws the trim pannel will lift right over the latch device thingy

Take the carpet out and throw it the hell away.

I pulle d mine after two weeks of HOT DRY weather, and there was STILL moisture (and RUST) under it.

I am finding more and more rust at the seams UNDER the seam "sealer"... so be warned.

The holes will be patched on mine, then I am scuffing everything and painting it with something when I'm done.

Whoa lol I am on a college budget too. Nice jeep and build man. It is looking great. I guess us college boys are not doin too bad. I was lucky and have been pretty good at wheelin and dealin. Sold my last rig for 2600, and bought my jeep for less than the lift would cost that it has on it. Most expensive part is done. (the lift) well, besides that I want bigger rims and tires. Btw mine is a 5 speed I6 1989 xj with almost 8 and a half inches of lift and I only paid 2000$ for it. Then I spent the remaining money on wheels, tires, and a high lift jack. lol.
