If you tape a piece of wire to the nozzle tubing it will hold it straight. Also, one can buy an endoscope for your cell phone. That allows you to see inside the frame to check for rust that was missed or check for complete paint coverage after the paint is dry.

Very important to stay on top of this as preventative maintenance. My 2019 JL is showing signs of light rust, especially at the welds, going to tackle this when the weather warms up this spring. Cheers!

Also, a 1 1/2 inch hole saw works better for making a hole in the rear cross member instead of a saw & chisel.

A sewer jetter would do a great job. Can be had for around $30 or maybe less

Nah..the best way to straighten the small hose is to tape it streched out on the bench, then use a HEAT GUN CAREFULLY heat the hose and let it cool and repeat until it is STRAIGHT..works very well !!

Thank you. Looking forward to the community that will evolve around this channel.

I restore 70's Chevelles .After I get the insides of the frame shaled , the best I can , I let it dry right out . Then I spray Rust-Mort or a compatable product . I make up a long wond of brake tubing , and put a rose-bud tip on it from a garden weed sprayer . I put the Rust-Mort in the sprayer container , then attach a air hose and in-line trigger [ regulated ] .Drawing the wand through the frame , gets everything .I let the excess drip on the ground . Its an acid . it etches the rusty metal , and turns the rust into carbon . Then I let it dry again . Then I use the same wand set-up to spray the paint of your choice .Again I spray it with the rose-bud tip , till its running out everywhere . Jeeps tend to rust over the diff arches , and I often have to replace sections . I make cardboard patterns , then cut my shapes from the crusher pile at the scrap yard , cause Im cheap .

thank you for this.

a possible follow up video could be to get an inexpensive borescope off of Amazon and record some video of the interior frame to confirm coverage

I'm looking into that. The best I can do now is feel inside each of holes and look in the ends. Stay tuned.

Great how-to video. I was curious on how long you've had your jeep. For a 98 it looks to be in really good shape compared to the ones I have looked at. I'm new to the channel so I would like to know more about your jeep. Did you happen to do a walk around video when your first started your channel ? I'm anxious to see your upcoming videos. Thank you for your service.

I've sold the Jeep and have a 2007 Toyota FJ Cruiser. I needed a little more towing capacity for my overlanding rig. I've taken a break from filming but the FJ is just as much fun and project worthy as the TJ was. Thanks for the comment.

Thanks for the video. Ready to tackle the same job. Wanted to see if you could expand on a couple things. I see you cut out access in the bumper at the rear. Did you do the same for the front? Just curious because i was curious how you got the larger pieces of rust scale or flacks out when flushing. I may have missed in one of your other videos, maybe you drilled larger drain holes on the underside of the bumper as others often do? Lastly, did you do any degreasing before using eastwoods?

The front frame was not boxed shut. It did have a tube running through it near the opening but it caused little trouble in removing large rust flakes. I did drill larger drain holes at the base of the front frame where it curves up and at the rear where it curves up. I did not use any degreaser in the frame because I don't think there was any oil or grease present and I didn't want any degreaser to moisten the remaining rust and maybe compromise the eastwood's drying and adherence.

Appreciate and enjoy your videos but you made this much more complicated than need be. Buy a Clog Hog that attaches to your pressure washer and clean from the front. Buy tubing and cut the one in the box and extend it. Tape that to an electricians fishing rod and paint away. Job done in hours, not days. (just have to wait until frame dries before painting.

I use a piece of a coat hanger and tape the hose to hanger works great you can shape it how you need it

Great video! Question. Did you close up the access holes you created after you were finished or did you leave them open? If you closed them what was your process?

Very common problem. Worth the save and a little annual preventive maintenance will add years to the ride.

stop using salt on your roads. sand works better, anyway.

No salt here. We’re in South Carolina. We don’t even need sand on our roads, we use it on the beach.
