Re: 94 wrangler frame rot concern
floor boards, a few holes here & there. I'm going to go over the frame a
bit closer after work today. I'll try the "hammer" check, as well as a
"screwdriver" check someone else suggested. I'll throw a few pictures up on
my "new" site later today or tomorrow.
Thanks!

What's the mileage on this YJ? The original owner of my YJ told me that

see rust happening in the rear.
