Baystate Jeepers

Just found out i lost my brake line due to rotting on the left rear frame.
The Rear Trailing Arm was connected to brake line (?) and separated and broke the line (no brakes last Friday)
probably due to winter pot holes over by Sully Sq/ Charlestown circle.

The brake line is now replaced, but the trailing arm has been disconnected, to drive it.
Was told that my jeep needs welding on the frame, asap.
I have been driving it, locally and carefully. But now I hear clinking so on my way to work I turned back and drove it home.

Any leads? Thanks .

Are you driving around without a rear control arm? Can you post a picture of the bad area?

Safe T Cap in Rhode Island makes, sells, and installs great pre-fabbed frame repair pieces. Elia's 4WD can install it but they're an hour away from you. If there's an auto welder shop near you they should be able cut out the bad section and install the repair piece. First step would be to perform a careful overall inspection of the frame.

Hi,
Thank you for the link, i will check them out and consider a local welder. I agree on the overall inspection !
--- after getting under there today, this is pretty much the exact location/part rotted.

The bracket to the trailer arm is rotted, looks like I order the whole frame part,
