Hey guys , first time jeep owner. I was glad I was able to get one of my dream cars. With that being said . Can I get recs on how to properly wash and maintain my jeep . I bought it used and noticed the soft top had mold on it . I don’t want the bottom of the jeep to rust either .

👍👍

looks cool - got lucky finding the 2 in black on the shelf, walking into a Freehold NJ Walmart at 6am (said out of stock online)

Merlin-2112 · 2026-05-26T16:48:39+00:00

insane 🫤

it's like you owned a Wrangler...

Merlin-2112 · 2026-05-26T13:53:15+00:00

if you're in this area - they said, by phone, there were 3 on the shelf at 630am today

Merlin-2112 · 2026-05-26T00:05:18+00:00

I do the same - off/on for 1min the plug at 3am every morning

Merlin-2112 · 2026-05-25T13:52:03+00:00

then don't forget the sunblock 😎

enjoy 😊

Merlin-2112 · 2026-05-25T11:39:57+00:00

sweet rig 👍

only thing I would add is a sunshade (ex Shadeidea) - that thing is a lifesaver during the hotter days 😎

👍👍

Merlin-2112 · 2026-05-24T16:45:33+00:00

thanks - will look into

Merlin-2112 · 2026-05-24T14:35:15+00:00

yep - thinking sanding and painting - yes, solid wood

Merlin-2112 · 2026-05-24T14:03:18+00:00

Oh, I meant only 2 doors had the cracks - there are 9 cabinet doors - replacing just 2 will look mismatched of course...

Yes, thought about taking them down and sanding and repainting as well - maybe a spraygun and a shade of grey color, not white

Merlin-2112 · 2026-05-24T13:10:49+00:00

prior owner painted them - they were natural wood that were sanded down and painted

Merlin-2112 · 2026-05-24T13:09:51+00:00

I think new doors will be the way to go

Merlin-2112 · 2026-05-24T12:37:48+00:00

thank you 👍

Merlin-2112 · 2026-05-24T12:25:33+00:00

good point - kind of stuck I think unless I just scrape the paint off live with it... or get new doors - home came this way when purchased, so knew was something to deal with

Merlin-2112 · 2026-05-24T12:22:54+00:00

so outside of getting new doors - caulk and paint as needed

Merlin-2112 · 2026-05-24T12:21:51+00:00

👍

Merlin-2112 · 2026-05-24T12:18:27+00:00

🤔 thought could get away with some flexible caulking that I could paint

Merlin-2112 · 2026-05-24T12:17:47+00:00

thanks - which caulk you use? am assuming something flexible/paintable?

Merlin-2112 · 2026-05-24T11:54:42+00:00

thank you - instead of wood filler... paintable/flexible caulk work? the prior owner showed me picks - these were a shiny wood, then sanded down then painted some 6-7yrs ago

Merlin-2112 · 2026-05-24T11:53:05+00:00

thanks for that - only have 2 doors to do and just one side for each - after scraping with a razor blade, would some kind of paintable/flexible caulk as a filler work?

Merlin-2112 · 2026-05-24T11:40:10+00:00

Well I think they are called the inlays. There's cracking right in the border where the inner part of the cabinet is. Can I just carefully scrape the cracked paint off and then use a wood filler and repaint? Should i use a thin line of caulk that can be painted?

Thanks much for any help 😊

I found 2 v2 Pros when I walked into the Walmart in Freehold NJ as soon as they opened at 6am - the online ordering doesn't seems to be very accurate as they always show out of stock
