Save your jeep floors and under carriage form rust

Jeeps are more likely to rust in the floors than any other vehicle on the road. Due to driving with the top off. Not even a half top will stop rust from starting in the floors. I had this problem with my 1975 cj5. I removed the seats and carpet and after cleaning up the surface rust i installed PLASTI-KOTE bed liner. This stuff is great it permanently bonds with paint or any surface that's been cleaned. Its textured and is non skid. It has rubber granules in it that creates this effect. You can brush, roll, and even spray on the liner. It seals the surfaces you put it on and is abrasion resistant. It works great inside fender welds and on under carriages. If you want something sealed i would use the plasti-kote liner.

GAS TANKS

I hope you never have to replace a gas tank in an older jeep. Not only are they expensive they can be hard to find when looking in junk yards and parts stores. The first thing you must do is look at the tank you have and see how long the fill tube is. Some are short and some are long. It will make a difference. In the past you couldn't get a tank any larger than a twelve gallon but now they offer a twenty gallon if you buy new.

But if you have a 1975 thru 1980 the same tank should fit as long as the fill tube is on the right rear. Upon getting your hands on a tank always rubber coat the tank before you install it. This will save you ever having to replace it due to rust.
