Yup, it's designed to flex, using rivets, and no welds to bolt
together their frames: http://www.----------.com/cj5frame.jpg like the commercial trucks that have to haul, eighty thousands reliably across America for millions of miles of their life time.

Re: Stop me before I buy again
Commercial trucks have a 215" wheelbase and a trailer pressing down on their
70,000lb capacity rear axles and flex naturally .. Yours, with the 80" wheelbase and light weight, was rivetted together as that was the cheap and safe option.. Remember the Liberty ships with low grade WW2 steel and welds that were prone to cracking ? (btw I understand new trucks like Kenworths and Peterbilts use huck bolts now) Dave Milne, Scotland '99 TJ 4.0 Sahara "L.W.
