Are these body mounts safe to drive with?

[Cole rainer]

I am looking to buy this TJ but I don’t know if these body mounts are safe to drive with? Can I get some advice? Should I steer clear? How long do I have before this becomes unsafe to drive?

If you have to ask, maybe pass on that one. Those look rough.

I agree with jjvw!!

Thank you!

That's dangerous. Hard pass!

If you think something looks a bit hinky then it most likely is. This works on vehicles, plumbing, and people. It's best to go with your gut.

I'm thinking the frame isn't any better.

OTOH, what's your plan? Full tub restore?
Frame still looks kind of decent.

Ask yourself if you'd trust that thin rusty metal to hold the body on the frame if something were to happen.

The torque boxes need to be replaced. Big job especially if the floors are shot too. Additional photos might show that the frame may need to be repaired too. I highly doubt that it would pass a safety check.

I've driven a lot worse.

That said, I hate rust with a passion. If it can be afforded, spend a little more and get a nice, rust free example.

If you can't fix it, or pay to fix it... PASS!

Hard pass. I'll wager that cancer has metastasized.
