    Body drives off center from frame

    My Lj has been driving a little off center for a while now and I’m trying to figure out how/where I can fix that. My body faces slightly to the left and my frame drives straight. Do I need to realign the entire body? Anything helps, thanks!

    Hard Uppers frame only?

    Hey there, so I bought a 98 TJ a few months ago and when I purchased it the guy gave me the window sliders for the upper part of the door. However, its just the glass part (like the window panels) without the frame, and I cant seem to find if you can buy just the frame for the hard uppers. Does...

    How long does this frame have left on it?

    Hey all, I'm trying to see the extent of this rust and how much time this frame has left on it. It's rusting from the inside-out and has large, thin chunks of rusted frame falling from the walls (as seen from picture 6). The reason why I ask if this question is because I was offered 9k for the...

    Attached are photos of my frame, I purchased the jeep a month ago, and strangely it seems to have only gotten worse. What are the potential solutions I have for this? Frame swap? New body + frame swap? Thanks!

    2001 TJ Needs New Frame

    Purchased a 2001 4.0L 6-cylinder TJ a few months ago. Only had 140,000 and the body looked good. The frame looked good to but as it was getting lifted at a shop for a new clutch to be installed, the mechanic said the frame cracked and has a ton of rust underneath there. I live in North East...

    Has anyone ever used Cosmoline RP 342 as a frame coating?

    Hey there everyone hope you're all well. I was wondering if anyone has ever tried using Cosmoline RP 342 as a frame coat?

    Lazy paint job

    So I'm finally prepping Josephine for my first warm weather with her. In trying to mount my new mirrors so the doors can come off, I've found that the screws were not removed when painted. Looks like they were just painted over, and a sh*t job too. Any suggestions for how to do this in the...

    Hey y’all! So I’m new here, I have a 2001 wrangler tj. I just found out that the frame is rusted on the passenger side.

    Hey y’all, I recently acquired a 99 TJ from a family friend and because I am not super experienced I’m having a hard time figuring out if the frame is patchable. There are some large flakes that have come off but I took a hammer to it and no holes punched through. I’ve seen frames on YouTube...

    Can you help? I need your opinion on a TJ I'm looking at

    I’ve been looking to get a Wrangler for a while. (I’d prefer to get my hands on the 1984 CJ-7 from my childhood but my uncle won’t part with it... long story..) Anyway I’m looking for a TJ because, well for obvious reasons, but also I want something I can flat tow behind my oldie but goodie...

    How far gone is this frame?

    Hey, I’m looking into getting a 99 TJ, but am unsure how to tell how far gone the frame is. Obviously there is a bit of rust here, but how can I tell if it is bad to the point to no longer consider the purchase! Cheers!
