frame

Hi, I noticed this bent piece on the rear end drivers side? I'm a beginner at all of this and have no idea what this is or what it should look like. Maybe this is normal? But it stood out to me... thought I ask. Thank you in advance:)

Hi sorry if this post is out of place. I’m looking for input on why my upper and lower control arms aren’t lining up to their brackets.(They are lacking roughly an inch) I’ve got the replacement trail arm mounted and have measured from trail arm to trail arm as well as to the body mount nearest...

Hello all, I recently purchased a 2006 Wrangler and have been slowly replacing parts on it. I am in the process of doing a Savvy cable shift conversion for the transfer case. The Jeep is incredibly clean considering it has spent its whole life in NH and Maine. I just dropped the transfer case...

grabbed a Supertop because I've decide I just prefer the framed top experience. I came from a Bestop Trektop NX (frameless or slantback as they call it now) that was purchased in 2021 and fit pretty much perfectly. With the framed top, I'm struggling. It seems like either the header bow is too...

So I'm the very happy new owner of a 2000 manual TJ Sport. The only previous owner has had her since she rolled off the factory line, and says that it's essentially bone stock besides an upgraded radio head unit and a few minor accessories. No lift was ever put on, no aftermarket parts. But...

I recently bought a 2000 TJ that had one bolt and some terrible welds holding each of the stabilizer bar retainers to the frame. I’m ready to reattach the stabilizer bar and looking for input on the best way to bolt the retainers to the frame. I had to remove the welded nuts on the inside of the...

Hi all! Just found this lovely forum today after looking up frame repair stuff. Already read a ton of helpful information (thanks!). I find myself in the position of having to repair the frame on my 99 Wrangler (as well as the engine, but that will come later). I will definitely be needing a...

Hey guys, so I wanted to upgrade my suspension (was thinking of the H&R + Rancho combo) but as I took a closer look I've now realized that that my rear upper coil spring mounts on both sides are pretty rusted. When I boutht the jeep a few years ago, the first thing I looked for was rust (thanks...

Wanting to purchase this Jeep. 5 speed w 125k miles for $9k. 4 inch lift, aftermarket wheels and tires, upgraded headlights, new bucket style sport seats. Previous owner had it for 2 months but other PO had rebuilt the frame? Also, rust spots on the door and driveshaft/differential (pictures...

Bear with me, I am a do-it-myself kind of person, but I am NOT a mechanic so I am continually learning. Original owner of a '97 Sport, 4.0 L - 5 speed AX15 transmission 279K miles Just dropped the skid plate (transmission cross member) so I could change out the clutch. Working on getting it put...

Just had some Frame Caps added to both front and rear trail arm mounts, and center skid plate. The question is do I add drain holes to the recommended spots right under all 4 trail arm mounts? There aren't any real places for water to escape the frame since the frame caps don't have side holes...

I have an unused 1997-2002 center repair section from Pocono Metal. Label and online order info doesn't specify left or right. Guessing from the photos, it is the right center frame piece. They sent me (or I mis-ordered) the wrong part. $130 new. Make an offer. Can help with delivery any...

Hi all! Though this is my first post, I’ve come to this site countless times over the years for advice and how to’s; it’s been an invaluable resource to me. I figured what better place to seek pragmatic advice over the fate of my beloved TJ. Currently, I’m at a tipping point with it. It...

Hi all. Brand new to Wranglers, and have never inspected a frame in my life. Any specific spots to look out for when purchasing? I have these pictures of what I would consider to be a very clean frame. Would you all agree or are you seeing anything I’m not seeing? Thanks!

Hi! I am currently shopping for a TJ and I have an endoscope to look inside the frame. I see plenty of threads on here about rust showing external pictures and I know what is good/bad there, but what about inside the frame? For example is the inside of the frame the same as anywhere else -...

I’ve read a bunch of threads on the topic. Any last advice I should know before drilling drain holes in the frame? I plan to drill four holes total, one front and one rear drain hole per side. I’m also seeing lots of mud getting trapped in the front part of the torque boxes. Any advice for...

I’m new to Jeeps and looking at buying this 2002 Wrangler and am a little weary about the frame condition. Is it in good shape or should I pass on it and keep looking? I tapped on the center side by the skid plate and a piece of rust fell down but the seller said it was from the undercoat under...

Hey guys, I have a 2005 tj frame that I replaced on my Jeep. It is bent pretty badly in the front. Will most likely need to be cut and rewelded ( I'm not too sure, I was just told that by a frame guy). I will take it to the scrap yard if not taken by by next week. I just thought maybe someone...

I picked up my 2004 wrangler LJ last year end it seems to be pretty low on rust. Despite that, I took an air compressor and stuck it in the frame holes and realized there’s a ton of junk inside the frames. I’ve seen the video on using some chains attached to a drill, but has anyone found...

OEM 2003-06 wrangler windshield frame with glass. Bought from SC to replace my rusted out one but sold the tj before I installed this and trying to get what i paid back out of it. Asking 300 OBO
