To the friendly Jeep community, I am a long time member but mostly a lurker. I have a 2008 Jeep JK Unlimited X with manual and it has 130k mostly highway miles on it. I love this vehicle to death but on Christmas evening, I ran into an idiot who did not see me in his driver side blind spot and...

I live in New England, so the frame has a lot of rust. I was hoping it wouldn't be rotting out, but it's gotten to that point. Today I noticed this in the frame on the driver's side and it looks really bad, so I'm not driving it anymore. Is my Jeep completely f'd at this point?

Well.... I got stuck, in some bad mud/guck/silt. it was bad. And when the nice man in the F-150 tried to pull me out he ripped my bumper clean off. Then we hooked it up to the frame piece behind the bumper and that too ripped off! Finally after a 2500 cummins and this F-150 hooked up they were...

I recently bought a '99 XJ with low mileage - 128,000 miles. I think I got a pretty good deal $3000 because the headliner was torn up and the hood and fenders had a few small dents and the back leaf springs were flat and had some rust. Most of the car is rust free. But the previous owner used...

This is my first jeep, I don't know too much about them yet. I own a 1995 wrangler. My mechanic told me I need a new track bar, sway bar, and shocks. Also, in the near future, I am hoping to get a new frame (my mechanic emphasized that he does not know how it has not fallen apart in two...
