Haha I don't actually know, but I know it's done to prevent rust and isn't goopy like fluid film/woolwax stuff. Helpful I know... I figured you'd know more about rust prevention than me in the desert

Picked up the frame from sandblasting, looks clean!
Painted the outside of the frame with Eastwood rust encapsulator. Painting the inside tomorrow!
Can the encapsulator be used on raw steel? Normally an etch prime or other bare metal primer of some kind goes on bare steel.
Yessir, it’s one of the main benefits. Can be applied over existing rust / direct to metal.
Repaired a small section on the bottom of the frame. Was quoted $1600 to get caps done, but there was no reason to do that. Would have cut out metal that had more than enough life left. Should have tacked it higher so it would have been flush with the original bottom, oh well
Installed rancho shocks along with OME springs for the 2.5” lift. Installed the 4.0 today as well. We decided since the yellow tub is in better shape we are going to swap that on, so we pulled that off its frame earlier this week. Will have to remove the evap system and current dash to swap over the correct one. Getting closer!
Starting to button up the wiring. Anyone know what these extra rear connectors are for? My only guess is a security system to shut off the fuel.
Was able to modify / combine existing trans mounting brackets to get the 32RH to mount to a 03 skid plate. Not sure why I assumed the skid plate mounting to the frame/ trans was the same for all TJ’s. Either way glad I got it work out!
