I imagine there has to be someone out there who has ripped floorboards out of an XJ and welded new ones on entirely. If you're that person, I would love to hear how you went about it. My 92' XJ has been subject to horrible rust, the only thing intact is the frames rails, meanwhile, the majority...

One of my phases for getting my WJ "winter/salt" resistant is applying POR15 and internal frame coating to her underbelly. The question(s) I have is..... I want the coating done soon before winter gets here. But 2 of my planned mods are upgrading to 4.5 Clayton LA Kit and cutting out my rocker...

Hey yall, after looking at what is available as far as upper control arms go, I honestly think I can build a very bullet proof version for about the same cost or less than the usual brands. This will be for a WJ so I expect about 15 to 19 inches of adjustablity or I'll make a bit longer than...

im sure this has been covered before but I figured id still share this with everyone :thumbsup: so my rear brakes were somewhat catching/grinding so I popped the wheels off and pulled the brake caliper off and found worn in notches in my caliper brackets. so for this repair you need a welder and...

It's Saturday so I can't call IRO for advice. I bought a Ford 8.8 that has an IRO TJ kit already welded on. Without much thought I ordered an IRO ZJ kit for the Ford 8.8. Now, I am looking at the measurements and locations, expecting to work on this during the weekend. It looks to me like the TJ...

So I took my 97 2.5L into the shop to see if I had a cracked exhaust manifold since my Jeep seems very loud and I'm not the best at identifying what "normal" sounds like. I was told there was a large leak right after the manifold. My jeep has 167k miles, and I'm sure this is all the original...

When I bought my jeep it had a front tube bumper installed on it. Now I know that there is a mixed opinion on tube bumpers but personally I dont mind it. But I need to replace it since i plan on buying a winch and there is no room for one with this bumper. But while examaining the bumper it...

So I hit some black Ice and did some serious rear corner mangle action. I am going to replace the rear corner w/ http://www.quadratec.com/products/12505_0001%2007.htm The problem I'm having is finding the top corner rail to attach a soft top or just seal my hard top. I was wondering if anybody...

Hey guys I've had this CJ7 for about 1 year now and I've been finally digging in and rebuilding as much as I can figure out with that Hanes manual. Now I think I've got the engine running nice and pretty sounding but its time to work on cosmetics. I have a bit of a rust problem from the previous...

I was wondering if people had any advice for how to best approach the kind of rot/damage that I've got on the bottom of my tub. I'd love to go fiberglass but at the moment my budget won't have it so I've got to make this tub last. Since a picture is worth a 1000 words here are a few pictures...

I've got about a 5 - 6 inch long section of subframe rot. The rot extends about 2 to 3 inches up the sides of the subframe from the bottom. I figure I'll need to cut out about 8 inches of subframe about 4 inch tall. I've got some questions. - I've got an old 97+ steel XJ hatch. Could I use...

Hey folks, I'm about to attempt to repair the frame of my CJ. I'm a reasonably experienced amateur welder so I'm not going into this totally blind but thought I'd ask if anyone has pictures of frame repair jobs that have worked or failed epically (as one can learn almost as much from failure as...

So i have a whole spare axle laying around that i had taken out of my jeep because the pinion gear sheared off. Seems like everything else in it is still in good shape so ive been keeping it around for spare parts. But i had an idea about welding my spider gears up. My jeep isnt a dailey...

I have the typical rusted out frame section at the steering box. I Live in Northeastern Ohio and am looking for someone to fix this for me. I have been an avid reader of the forum since I got my YJ and am sure I could be walked through fixing it, however I dont have access to a welder. So...
