Bought a 97 with a horribly rusted frame before I knew anything about TJs...needs to be replaced as I think it’s too far gone for repair. Finding a replacement frame is proving harder than I thought. Anyone have any good resources?
Where can I find a replacement frame?

check your local facebook groups and marketplace, I live around knoxville TN and we have two guys local that part jeeps out all the time.
car-part.com is a way to look at all the junkyards in a specified area and see if they have the parts you are looking for.
It's a good way to find the parts you need without having to call each and every JY.

I'm actually just putting my 97 back together from replacing my frame. I couldn't find a 97 -02 frame to save my life so I opted to go with an 03-06 frame. I found a guy in Ohio on FB Market place but he was unresponsive so I went onto eBay. I found most junk yards won't sell you a frame. There's a place in Indiana that regularly puts TJ frames up for sale and they seem reputable. Their eBay store name is baseline4x4. Maybe give them a try. Good luck, its a lot of work.

Call this place a woman will answer phone ( She's kinda flakey) ask for the jeep restorer that's in the back garage. He rebuilds/restores CJs from the ground up.
