    Buying a cheap TJ rust bucket to repair is good option?

    Hopefully you dont have my luck (lack of experience) on the TJ frame. I'm putting on a new frame now (a very nice rust free frame) and unless you can do that work yourself, it will cost you another $4500=$5k for a new frame swap. $1800 for the frame and $3K for the labor to swap it out.

    I already ordered the shit everyone is talking about and will give it a try. If it last 2/3 years I did ok in my book. As for the Mechanic, I think he discovered it was a different issue, I have only driven it once and then to the shop. I trust the mechanic because he has worked on my...

    I wouldn't say it wanders, it more wants to jolt you right or left when you hit a bump. put it this way, on a smooth road i feel comfortable steering with one hand, if it a bumpy road, i will be holding on with two and paying attention. As mentioned, I'm a noob for sure so maybe I'm not...
