Some background:

I live in Corpus Christi which is right on the Gulf of Mexico in Texas. Rust is a major problem. I want to prevent rust from happening, and cure the rust that I have acumulated. It is one of the most frustrating problems that I have ever come across.


So what have other people done to prevent, and cure the rust from their Jeeps? Short of dismantalling the whole vehicle and rhino lining the thing I dont see how it can be done. Any thoughts?

Thanks,

Tyler

 

Hey Tyler it's Hook-em from the club. Have you considered painting the more exposed components with POR-15 paint. I've heard some really good things about it. It might be worth a shot.

 

Your probably already familiar with cathodic protection. Since you live buy the gulf, this method should be readily available.

 

I am ignorant to both,

Would either of you expound?

And how are you doing dave?

 

I'm in corpus too. I was looking at mine today and it's starting to rust.

 

Not in Corpus, but looked at mine on Friday and ordered a new one on saturday.

 

I live in Canada,and with salt on the roads all winter I undercoat my rig every year. They even give me a bit of a warranty too. I also have a electronic rust inhibitor installed on both my cars. It sends a small current of electricity through the vehicle to help prevent corrosion.
Anything helps.

 

Are you talking hooking an anode to the Jeep?

 

Me 3, took it to z-tec on SPID the first weekend after i got it home, like $279 or close but its $35 to get it reapplied every year, nothings broken so i dont check underneath it a lot, but seems to hold up good.
