If its an 86 Cherokee with the 2.5L it does not have a frame, it is a
unibody.

'86 Cherokee with a 2.5L engine should be an XJ, in which case it kinda is
unibody, they called it "uniframe." The frame members are part of the body.
His rusty spots are pretty typical.

Yes, Its not a frame like my YJ, its a u shaped thing with the body
attached to it. The whole underside is pretty much shot. Take what
parts I can and scrap the rest? It has a 2.5" old man emu lift. The
body is in real good shape, but the inderside is shot. What to do?
