I'm in the process of purchasing a 2006 Rubicon and have a few questions. I have always loved the TJ model, especially the 4.0 I6 engine and 6 speed manual transmission. I finally found one that was in decent shape and have made an offer (fingers crossed). This is just a weekend cruiser and will not be my daily driver.
Questions:
- There is some surface rust on the underbelly, nothing alarming to my family mechanic. Any recommendations on what I should do on this front? For example, worth taking it somewhere to have it sanded and repainted.
- It has a soft top and I'd like to buy a bikini top. Any brands/models that you would recommend or any to stay away from?
- I'm considering taking out the carpet, etc. and rhino lining the floor. Again, any pros/cons with this? My logic is trying to prevent any water (rain) damage that may come from having it topless most of the time.
- Anything else you would recommend for consideration in terms of modifications, improvements, etc.?
I appreciate any and all feedback.
