Inquired about it and rust. What do y’all think of the frame rust and cost?

 

[thekidwithquestions]

Depends on what the inside of the frame looks like, but from the looks of the outside I doubt its good

 

[Jamesval035]

Ya I was thinking the same when he sent me those. Wanted to get thoughts from those peeps with rust experience.

 

[Jamesval035]

It’s a bit too far to show up with a screw driver and camera to see and poke around inside the frame.

 

[Jezza]

No way. That little bit you can see has layers and layers behind it. Just from the pictures I can see if you removed the transmission skid there is serious rot in the frame rails.

Rust never looks good.... but it doesn't seem to be walk-away bad on this jeep. I have seen similar conditions up close on other jeeps.

Just saying it is worth an in-person inspection.

 

[Jamesval035]

I can def see both sides of y’all’s point. What looks worrisome is the frame underneath the TC skid. It looks to be a gap like it’s rotted away a bit.

Maybe it’s the angle of the pic

I wouldn’t touch that thing with a 10 foot pole!

It’s not a 10k LJ after you fix all the rust you find

It’s sold… you buy it?

 

[Jamesval035]

Lol, nope. I’m sure he had a lot of inquiries about it. He just posted it last night. That was too much rust that I was willing to deal with. Fixing surface rust even grinds my gears.
