You will regret not taking it. I just finished three years out there. Bought my JK a year ago. Had a blast. Peacock Flats and Kaena Point are some good places to check out wheh you get there.

i don't hear of anyone that has problems with rust from the air. and i live 5 mins from the pacific as well so it shoudn't be a problem.i mean is everyones car in hawaii got rust damage? i thought there would be less with no salt on the roads. I also see people drive in ocean water they just got to hose it down. and it seems fine. i would take it forsure.

Had my Jeep since '08...No rust issues here in my area...The Jeep just needs a good wash & wax every now and then. As far as the chassis, just need to give it a good spraying with a high pressure hose. There may be slight surface rust on the axles/frame but nothing that a spray from a rattle can couldn't fix....

We split our time between Oregon and Maui. A Jeep is the perfect island vehicle. I agree with leaving the hard top and full doors behind. The Army & Marine bases are near the center of the island. You will likely see rain but it only lasts a few minutes and then it's dry immediately. Seat covers are a very good idea to cut down on UV damage. We generally have the top off for weeks at a time. Invest in security (Tuffy type) lock box. Good bumpers and rock rails will keep the tourist damage to a minimum. Storing your Jeep will do far more damage than the salt air will.
