So I am looking at buying a flame red LJ that needs frame repair. These are the pics I got. Looking at the frame repair kits it looks like it would not fix it entirely with how much rust goes up into where the body mount bracket is. Seems like all the kits weld to the clean metal around the body mount bracket, but since there is none I am worried I cannot really fix this that easily. Are there kits that have new body mount brackets that go the full length in the center? I am also not opposed to a frame swap, just not easy finding LJ frames. Its a super clean body and is the only reason I am considering this.

First of all, that tub is not super clean. You have rust in the seams...it might look good now, but in a few years, it will be garbage too. Let it go and find a better one.

Second, that needs a new frame...not a repair
