Hello, I'm new to this forum, but am the proud owner of a 82 CJ5 and I live in Minnesota where they use salt on the roads in winter......Yeah, tell me about it.
Ok, so with seats falling through the floor, chunks of body and frame flaking off and funny noises over every bump, me and my daughter are set to replace the frame and body to make it ok to drive in the winters and summer too.
I parked the Jeep a few years ago, but it ran like a champ and had no mechanical issues, just the body. Fiberglass comes to mind as the rusting is my main concern, but I have heard that there are issues with fiberglass as well. I do plan on using the Jeep off road occasionally (hunting and trails) but guess it will be on road 85% of the time.
I have seen the Aluminum tubs, and some Kevlar reinforced fiberglass stuff too, so now I am really conufsed.
Anyone have any bright ideas.
