So I pulled the rear bumper off and removed the nut strips from the frame rails. I looked inside of the frame rail and its a little rusty inside of there. Ideally it would be nice to scrub all that down, coat it with some rust inhibitor and get it painted. However with an access hole about the size of a jelly bean thats damn near impossible. I am sure I am not the first one to run across this. How have you guys addressed this? It is not rusted out yet, but I don't want it to get worse. I can't bring myself to re-assemble it knowing that is in there having not done anything about it. Let me know...

Haha! Dump a gallon of paint in there.. Has to cover something!?

You can buy a do it yourself rust prevention kit, comes with long flexible wand that you can probe into doors, fenders, frame rails, hell probe an in law if they won't help with the jeep. Alternatively I cut out the floor for easy access and applied some rust paint, then weld back over, maybe a little radical, best to recommend the spray wand kit. Rust paint is the best for me, I can always weld thru paint, other ashphalt sprays will not last and are hard to cleanup for future fix and fab.

Holy crap! I am not sure I'm up for a floor removal. The want and probing sounds much more appealing. Not that way sicko. Can you get that at some auto parts stores?

My son-in-law (still an in-law but at least he and my daughter both have jeeps) got a kit at "Princess Auto" here in Ontario. I've seen one also at the local Napa store, a bit more expensive.

What kit was that?? Haven't seen one of those at the P.
