Welcome back!

No, that frame is toast. There’s nothing to weld to there, trust me. I would strongly encourage parting it out. You could be facing a potential lawsuit driving something so dangerous. Part it out and use the money to buy a cheap daily driver. The advice you’re receiving here—while probably not...

I think as soon as you separate that frame from the body the body is so rusted that it's going to make things even worse than it already is. Looking at those photos I think the entire underside of that TJ is waiting to just collapse.

The more I look the worse it looks. I'm sorry to say this but I'm 100% confident your entire frame is toast and possibly even large sections of the body. I think your TJ has reached end-of-life. Also, that CJ7 frame isn't going to fit your TJ. You'd be a fool to even attempt that. Please...

The unfortunate reality of it is that Jeeps are notorious for rusting frames. If the rust is that bad that it managed to snap your control arm mount, unfortunately it's probably going to be just as bad (and just as dangerous) in other sections as well. You're going to need a new frame. You're...

If you want to reduce heat to the point where you can touch it while the engine is at full temp, I highly recommend having the intake and exhaust manifold ceramic coated. Believe me when I say that stuff works and then some. Exhaust wraps will trap moisture and lead to rust. If you're serious...

I doubt there is any substantial gain (if any at all). I don't know why it was redesigned in the first place, but if I had to guess it had something to do with emissions and adding more crap.

Yes, just like all of human history it's cyclical.

1) It depends on where the engine is coming from, if it's in stock, etc. I don't think anyone can answer that with any real accuracy. 2) Install should take a few days to a week, but that depends on your mechanic's schedule. You'd be better off asking him this question. 3) 7k sounds ballpark for...

I've also heard of stories of these big box delivery trucks getting robbed on the way to deliver their goods. Brick and mortar is still the best option though, I agree. I guess the current plan is to just let everything descend into complete chaos until vigilante justice makes a full swing comeback.

Yep, of course as you likely already know, stores are dealing with record numbers of retail theft. So there is that! What we really need to do is bring back real punishment for criminals.

There are people inside the delivery companies who are doing this. I ordered a $3000 guitar and it was never delivered. I went down to the local UPS distribution center where it said it was last scanned. They reviewed the security footage and found that a new employee had stolen it. He was...

What brand of sensors did you replace them with?

It gets people into the store and buying parts. Even if they didn't make any money off the tool rental itself, the foot traffic alone would be worth it to them I'm sure.

It certainly could be.

Congratulations @basham1988 on winning the September 2024 ROTM contest! Enjoy the prizes!

Even if someone told him that he would have likely insisted we were lying and called us childish names. He was only here to find others to reinforce his delusions. Unfortunately for him, that didn’t happen.

I agree, especially since fenders would be a commonly damaged part in an accident.

I'm not sure they make reproduction brackets. I'd check https://www.car-part.com/

I know, I was just giving him a hard time anyways. I’m not upset or anything, just ribbing you guys is all. 👍
