well the frame looks to be in decent shape...once you get rid of all the crap that is left inside it should be a really cool build to do! Good Luck man

I know if a concrete building catches fire it must be demolished as its structural integrity is comprimised. I also know that heat makes steel hard and brittle. Do you think the fire could have even come close to making that much heat to mess with the frame?
Otherwise looks to be a sick build. There was an LJ build similar to this and it turned out BA! so you gottta set the bar even higher for burn builds

Should be fine, fire mainly burned from the carpet upwards, the roll bar may be jacked but underneath the carpet the Jeep still has its paint. There was only one tire that burned off the rim, this point of the vehicle may have reached 1000 degrees F just under the point at which aluminum melts and is quite enuff to temper steel to its first brittle stage. The wheel at that point was not melted but does look to be a little warped.

I did flames to a festiva and it gave it 50 more horsepower.

Lemme guess... it is a automatic... No?

A few reports of Unlimited Automatics burning up... so far the speculation is an overheated tranny which over flows the fluid onto the exhaust.

Anyway, I've seen some pretty involved JK builds but this is the most intense undertaking I've seen on a JK yet.. by far.

Good luck with it!!

If I can be of any assistance at all lemme know.
