    Total frame replacement?

    Dodge/jeep dealership did a diagnostic on my “new” 2000 sahara and found so much rust on the frame they aren’t even confident of a weld repair. I sent the videos below to an independent jeep mechanic, and he agreed. I need ideas. I read something about caps in this forum. Help...

    Is this the beginning of the end? (frame rust / breakage)

    Hey guys! First off y’all are the best and I can’t thank you enough. This is my first TJ and I don’t know where I’d be without y’all! So as I was under my Jeep (1998) I’ll include pics, I noticed a part that was almost broken off. Not sure the name but it connects the frame to the back driver...

    LJ front frame repair suggestions

    Hello all, Absolutely hate that I have to make this post asking for suggestions on my Jeep. Bought it about 2 years ago, Jeep LJ 160k 4.0 automatic. Runs great and drives pretty well. There’s a shitty lift kit that I’m planning on upgrading at some point as well as plenty of other stuff...

    2001 TJ Needs New Frame

    Purchased a 2001 4.0L 6-cylinder TJ a few months ago. Only had 140,000 and the body looked good. The frame looked good to but as it was getting lifted at a shop for a new clutch to be installed, the mechanic said the frame cracked and has a ton of rust underneath there. I live in North East...

    Wanted to see if this kind of rust is something I could fix myself or if a shop should do it.

    How far gone is this frame?

    Hey, I’m looking into getting a 99 TJ, but am unsure how to tell how far gone the frame is. Obviously there is a bit of rust here, but how can I tell if it is bad to the point to no longer consider the purchase! Cheers!

    Trying to stabilize a sagging skid plate

    Hello, I have a 2001 Wrangler TJ with serious frame corrosion. I’m not handy with major repairs so to there’s not much more I can do with it. The skid plate is holding on to the frame by only one side, meaning 3 bolts. So the transfer case is sagging a little. Of course I’m nuts driving it in...

    Cost to straighten a frame a little

    Bought my TJ for $1250 as a salvage. Had soft brakes and someone stopped in front of the driver and she swerved into a partition wall on the freeway. Caught the front drivers tire, ripped off the LCA bracket on the axle, f'd up the driver's fender, other than that, not bad. Completely rebuilt...
