Grand Wagoneer undercoating?
Hello:
I have been reading the ng for a while and am impressed with the level of
expertise!
I hope someone can help me with a question.
Is there any downside to having the underside of my 1989 Grand Wagoneer
sandblasted and undercoated? Is it beneficial? I had once read that some
of the old undercoatings could actually promote rust by somehow trapping
water, but I am sure that the technology of these coatings is much
improved now.
Thanks,
Frank

There are more people here qualified than I, but I own two Jeeps, and the
problem is always to keep the u-joints and the boots and the seals intact
and free from outside *things* like sand. I would never sandblast the
underside of a Jeep. If you could get only the undercoating underside the
fenders -maybe- a big -maybe. Woo. I shiver. Sandblast the underside of
a Jeep? You may have really big problems doing that. I've never heard of
anyone doing that. But stay tuned to this newsgroup. Maybe someone will
have a better solution.

Re: Grand Wagoneer undercoating?
Undercoatings good, sandblasting....shivvvverrrrrr
I had an old cr 250 dirt bike. I would go riding in eastern washington, in
the desert with it. I could never figure out how sand could get into
places that water could never get into. I had sand inside my brake
linings, drums, in the oil, and in any and every place you could imagine.
If you could think that sand wouldn't get in there, take it apart and you
would find sand......BAD IDEA

Re: Grand Wagoneer undercoating?
I'd just oil spray it every year
Like Rust Check or Krown.
