His mid arm mount is pushed right up to the bend. If he cuts it there and slides it back, then the reinforcement pieces have to be bent and go inside the frame that way. It is far better from a difficulty standpoint to do the stretch in a straight parallel section of the frame. That and he may know a guy who can help get a set of rear Savvy Mid Arm mounts.What is the reasoning to work through the bend instead of just after it?
Further back and the mid arm brackets are in the way.What is the reasoning to work through the bend instead of just after it?
FIFYThere is a version of this where I shove a sharp spiky thing in each eye because that is less painful than trying to remove the MA brackets, start fresh, and bury the splice inside a new pair of brackets.

I don't get it, what's going on here? What are the frame rails for? some sorta stretch?I wish to thank @hosejockey61 for removing the body mounts and a mysterious stranger for taking the transmission and transfer case a few weeks earlier. It made my job much easier.

Body stays the same length. The wheel openings will shift backwards using uncut aluminum corners.Are you stretching the body as well?
Since you were talking about a fuel cell it seems it isn’t likely.
Is it not easier to do a custom frame from the rear axle back? Obviously there is a reason for doing it the way you are, just curious.Body stays the same length. The wheel openings will shift backwards using uncut aluminum corners.
Sinner. I'm contemplating what to do with mine, since I found rust.I ruined a perfectly good TJ frame and got out of the yard paying far too little for what I took.
