99 Sport Tub on 98 Sahara Frame?

[Jacob]

Hey guys, I'm looking to purchase a 1999 Tj(super deal here on the east coast), however the frame is completely rotted out. Now hold on, before y'all say "forget it", I've done some digging around to see other people parting out wranglers and what not.

Is it possible to fit a 99 Tj sport tub on a 98 Wrangler Sahara frame? Because if so, that would be an absolute life saver!

Thank you for all the responses in advance!

Yes, it will bolt right on without any issues.

Hey, back again! So I’m correct in saying that a 1994 Yj Frame would work with a 99-03(obviously still a tj) Tub right? And if that’s the case, would this be a sound investment for a frame or should I stay away?

94 YJ frame is a completely different story from the 98 Sahara. YJs had a leaf spring suspension, and was set up for that. The dimensions of the frames might be similar, but I'm thinking there would be a lot of modifications needed to make it work, if possible at all. I'd look for a TJ frame.

Thank you, I’ll keep an eye out for someone parting out a Tj

The YJ frame won't fit at all. Don't bother with a YJ frame, it's totally different.
