Cut underbody, replace with undercarriage.

I am in Detroit area, BTW.

Mike is right about the wax. Any vehicle I ever really cared about got
a thick coat of good quality paste wax in the fall. Buff it lightly in
the fall and buff it to a nice finish in the spring. Be sure to wax all
the paint including inside the doors and under the hood. He is also
right about the heated garage, your Jeep's worst enemy. When I lived in
Montreal, I parked outdoors at work instead of underground. It made a
big difference because they use a lot of salt in that city every
winter.

I swear by Krown rustproofing. If you get it Krown treated, you can
remove the excess oil from the paint using diluted Sunlight dish soap.
You can also buy Krown spray bombs at Home hardware, but if you get it
done at the Krown shop, give them a few bucks and they will give you a
couple of spray cans.

I also agree with FrankW. You would be wise to remove the carpets in
the winter. Otherwise, you can use the trough floormats but be sure to
empty them with a sponge as they fill up (leave the sponge in the
trough). When I get into a vehicle with lots of slush on my boots, I
always hang my feet out the door and bang my feet together before
putting them on the mat.

Do you have any way of convincing women that this is necessary?
