my uniframe split in two just behind the steering box, and i really dont know how to go about dealing with the problem other than plating the whole underside. or getting a new jeep :cool: i might go back to a 2dr

doesnt look as bad because of all the plate thats holding it together, i wish i had a picture of it before the plate. you could wiggle the section of frame by hand!

possibly, but it isnt messed up right now. so it should have a couple weeks before its tweaked :dunce:
saying i can manage to get the jeep... i still have to move and another jeep would just complicate things a bit more. but would be well worth it in the end

nope the bolts are tight, its actually the uniframe thats wiggling.
and i doubt were ditching it, too much money into it to just sell it because of that. just going to weld it up and stick some gum in there. should be good till the end of its days.
but i really wanted to snatch that 2dr, but its cool. im fine with the easy access to the rear seat:roflmao:

Rust ownz joo. Someone really needs to make a front stiffener plate though, that is bent angle instead of being just a flat plate.

that would be awesome, anywho
the plans for my jeep are lower it about 3" of lift, 8.25 with locker, 33's, hannamans, bumpers and lining the inside with off brand rhino liner stuff.
