97,500 miles. I believe I'm the third owner. I know that it was re-painted
at least one in its lifetime. The quality of the job seems pretty good - no
peeling, flaking or orange peel, so I assume they took the time to prep it
properly. No signs of an accident that would explain all the rust.

My 86 CJ7 is rotted back there too. Big time. The cross member is even
falling off and the gas tank skid plate fell off while I was off
roading.

A Jeep shop said he can just put square tube over pieces and weld them
in place, then put the shackle hanger on it.

I snapped my frame due to rust up front on the drivers side behind the
front spring hanger and he angle plated it nicely. It is holding sweet.

I need a new frame..... :-(

But the band aids will keep me wheeling for now.....
