After months of looking, my son and I went in on a TJ with frame rot. Got it cheap, due to the rot, and bought it as a project to work on it together. It will be his DD eventually when he gets his license and likely won't see more than light trail use. It is a 99 4.0L, 5 sp, 84K miles, 30/35 w/3.73s and it runs like a top.
The current plan is a 4" lift, ~33" tires, adjustable arms, SYE and DC driveshaft, adjustable track bars, Rubicon flares, aftermarket bumpers.
We were going to do safe-t-caps on the frame, but we already found a pretty clean replacement frame from an 06.
Here is the replacement frame.
The only planned mod to the frame right now is a rear spring perch re-location. Anything else that we should be considering while the frame is out?
