[QUOTE="Flyer58, post: 426996, member: 18629"] How does the rest of the frame look end to end? The center section is a common point for rust but so is are the ends where the spring shackles attach. Do a quick Google search for images of Jeep YJ frame rot and you'll see some scary stuff. I was lucky to see rust in the center only but found most of the rust I saw had actually come from the skid pan and stuck to the frame. Once I sanded the frame I could see the rust was very limited to nutsert areas. I cut those small sections out and found the internal rust ed area was actually quite limited. My first view after removing the pan... [ATTACH type="full"]116313[/ATTACH] [ATTACH type="full"]116315[/ATTACH] Then I wire brushed the rust away... [ATTACH type="full"]116314[/ATTACH] I still found a lot of good metal to work with. Hopefully yours is the same. [ATTACH type="full"]116316[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
