[QUOTE="zebraranger, post: 441908, member: 20106"] With that much exterior frame rust, I'd be concerned because these frames tend to rust from the inside out. Looks like drivers side looks pretty good, its usually the passenger side (right) behind the rear wheel where the frame goes bad. Water and mud gets trapped inside the frame. With that being said, it could be a northern Jeep with rust due to salting the roads. Leaf springs and mounts can be replaced, and they do make frame section replacements, but that's a whole different animal. I myself would pass, unless you're getting it really really cheap. [/QUOTE]
