Re: Finally The Answer to my Brake Issues
Well Bill, I'd love to oblige you but as familiar as I am with my TJ's
frame, I have seen no seam or any spot welds along the length of the frame
rails. Lots and lots of grit trapped inside them, and plenty of rust, but no
seams or spot welds. Sorry 'bout that ...

Re: Finally The Answer to my Brake Issues
I'm guessing the operative phrase is "spot welded".
My `79 CJ-5's frame looks like it was welded while moving on the line.
