Go the Safe - T -cap rout Easy to install and well made. Most of my TJ's frame is held together with their products
ive used their gas tank cross member, front body/grille mount and upper rear shock mounts. well built, beefier than original. ive seen their frame parts as well, and would speak the same of frame repair parts
Sorry to hear that Jeff. It sucks. Prices like that are why I considered ditching my rig. Not sure Safe-T-Cap is a good fit for you and while it's not a complete frame it does involve cutting out the rotted parts of the frame, leaving the top rail and some overlap on the side to weld the new rail to it. They sell patches for both sides that include the rear CA mount / curving vertical piece and it runs all the way to your front CA mount. Both sides run just under $1k (~$500/side) and if you decide to go that route you can obviously count on my help with the installVoodoo Chile wrote:Well this is craptaciular! I have the exact same issue on both sides although my frame was plated on the bottom. Rot in the same positions as yours.![]()
Did some more digging to check my options. checked out SANDMAN'S automotive & welding in CT, c He makes complete NEW frame rails & parts for TJ's , Not just the cap type repair that auto rust tech sells. BUT Its between 4,200 and 5K+ to have them do the work which takes about 4-5 weeks to do....![]()

Not sure what I will do from here...I may go the safe-t cap route, or simply plate and patch whats there... The witch of the new frame is with my long arm kit I will need to cut and weld all over again and already have some upgrades to this frame... Lou is working up a quote for me to do the work but I suspect that will be over a grand too...
