    Bolts through top of frame okay to hold skid plate?

    yeah that’s why I didn’t want to do a frame swap because everywhere else is solid and practically no rust. There’s some rust on the bottom inside the frame above the rear control arms, but I hit around there and it’s still solid. The whole front and past the rear control arm is all good tho. The...

    Bolts through top of frame okay to hold skid plate?

    Ok I want to get the right nutserts I just have to figure out the best way to put them in there. What would you suggest for coating inside the frame? I know the rust is already there, but isn’t there something that atleast slows it down. Anyways thanks for your time

    Bolts through top of frame okay to hold skid plate?

    Oh here I’ll show you the before and after, but yeah I see what you mean. I think he used his own steel, not the bought frame sections. So when I do the nutserts I’ll have to drill the holes wider to either use that tool or weld them.

    Bolts through top of frame okay to hold skid plate?

    When I got my TJ it had no problems whatsoever except until I dropped the skid plate. The front and back of the frame, even around the control arms were rust free, it was just the middle around the skid plate and the nutserts . We’ve since got the frame welded by a guy we know who’s very good at...
