I just pulled my rear carpet and caught the rust demon before it could destroy my jeep. I repaired a bit of through rust with some sheetmetal, pro-seal and sheet metal screws. I also completely sealed off the drain plugs with sheet metal because they seemed to be part of the problem, and seemed to be more harmful then they where good. This is my DD, so I don't plan on swamping it. There was alot of surface rust, which wire-wheeled, coated in rust converter and painted with rust-oleum (i'm too cheap to pay for POR-15)!
Anyways, the repairs are done and I'm happy with it and will be putting in the carpet again (without the underlay, though). I'd like to put down some rubberized undercoating to give a little sound deadening. I'm not too concerned if it stays a bit tacky because the carpet will be over it.
Has anyone done this? How was the noise before/after removing the stock underlay and applying the undercoating.
Oh, and heres a few pictures of the minimal rust I found. I definately caught it just in time, since I could see it causing big problems if I had left it for another year. You can also see a few pictures of the quick job I did with the 20g sheet metal, self tappers and pro-seal.
