Re: Jeep Junk yards?

Re: Jeep Junk yards?

You can get a Mastercraft seat for a pretty reasonable price. Realistically I don't want to spend that much. The Jeep is my weekend fun car/beater and I'm spending the majority of my budget on getting the frame, front drive shaft, and torque box repaired. I might want to just pull a large chunk of ...

Bump. I have some rotting going on in my rear trailing arm area, both sides. How much did you guys pay to have someone cut out the old stuff and weld in auto t caps? I'm looking for a shop in the greater Boston area.
