Re: CJ7 3spds?
 

Printed this out, checked these areas, and sure enough they weren't doing so
well. One rear side seemed to be mostly through for about a 2" length. I
turned away from the Jeep and actually ended up bumping into a potentially
blockbuster deal shortly after, as fate may have it (we'll see on Saturday)
....but for curiousity sake ...how big a deal is this? The rust was through
where the spring shackle, rear bumper member, and the frame member that
holds the body up all come together so I'm assuming it's important that this
area be strong and structurally sound? Is it repairable or pretty much fubar
when it gets to this point?

Thanks again!

Re: CJ7 3spds?
 

'If' there is enough steel left, I have seen boxes put over the frame
tails so everything can be mounted back onto them, but usually the metal
is so crystallized by this point there isn't much to weld to.

Someone makes a kit that plates both sides of the frame tails to be used
before it gets terminal.

For sure that frame is too crystallized to off road safely with for very
long. A patch job will do for a street queen Jeep, but the patches,
well....
