Perfect example: The Ranger I brought back to life after sitting in a field for a few years had some questionable rust areas. About a week or so ago, the LR leaf spring bracket broke off the frame because of rust and the same one on the other is next in line so I have to replace both of them.
IF frame is as bad as indicated in the picture; I would hate to see what the transfercase skid plate area and other areas look like. RUN away from that deal....
