Tell your brother to take a look at monstaliner. The stuff is amazing and will help with the rust prevention. I just did my whole truck in it. I like the way it turned out. Will be doing my old bronco and cj7 as well.Not on my Jeeps but got the Red CJ drivable and got my brother's CJ7 running but it's leaking from the accelerator pump and running rough in general, I also pulled the interior out of the CJ7, my brother wants to run with no carpet to help keep future rust issues from popping up in the floors. The fuel filter was so clogged up with varnished corn gas that it wouldn't flow. Changed out all the rubber lines the fuel filter and tossed 5 gallons of ethanol free in and after about 20 seconds of cranking it fired up, though is running a bit rough and missing a bit. Placed a large order on Rock Auto to include a carb refresh kit.
Tore the Motorcraft carb down on my brother's CJ and dunked all the parts except for the body of the carb because it won't fit in the paint can of carb cleaner.

Wow at least you got out there. Only thing I did was wash the rig in my driveway (again).Took the XJ and the kids and met up with a buddy (Pro4X Frontier) in the Ouachita National Forest after his return from a deployment and spent 4 days/nights tooling around and camping in different spots every night.

I’ve had them mounted on the cap on my old truck, then took them off to get the cap bed lined and then remounted them on the cap and put it onto my new truck. So all in all have been on there for about a year, no issues.

The Aluminum has oxidized, so the dullness won't be going anywhere. You could bead blast it and that'd take the surface passivization off, but it'd just look like that again in a few years, depending on where it gets driven at. Personally I'd just leave it...Cleaned up my rear diff cover. It was dirty with road grime. Anyone know how to get the shine back? I used a degreaser and just some car soap and water.

Ah oxidation, ok you're right. It's very hard to clean. Definitely leaving it then. Thank you!The Aluminum has oxidized, so the dullness won't be going anywhere.
