Excellent work ! Good tip on the bump stops that are smooth on top instead of a holding water

Great job. Very nice photography of the process. I have a ZJ and will be using this for a reference. Also, nice tip concerning self-etch on POR15. 😉

Great prep, fitting tacking and welding, like the various winter protecting paints. Big time good video.

Perfect timing! I have this project slated for this summer.

Awesome Job Austin

Awesome repair Austin

Need to do this on my ZJ this summer! Great video!

Nice job! As for the POR15, I reduce it with acetone and spray it. I use a 15$ HVLP gun from Harbor Freight. Does a really nice job. You want to make sure to wear a respirator when spraying any paint. God bless, stay well.

Great video! I had the same issue with the fuel hose hole rotting out, so it really helped seeing what you did there.

My 92 XJ gor rear ended in 2020, messing up my frame right there where the filler hose went through. My guess was also that I would have to fab something as well. This is a great video to help me figure that out.

Looks really good.

My XJ wouldn’t be running had it not been for this page

Who needs a body on frame when you can do this to an xj

Did you drill holes for hitch mount in your frame repair? Or will you drill later if needed?

I have the same problem on a Xj I’m working on the hitch rotted it out

Hey Austin, was just wondering if you had to deal with the “No Bus” issue with any of your jeeps? I know they had a factory recall which consisted of replacing the pigtails that plug into the gauge cluster but 22 years later I can’t find the kit for the recall anywhere. I tried cleaning the connectors, I cleaned and redid the ground for the dash and the one on the firewall in the engine bay. I also used the 3m double sided tape behind where the plugs sit behind the cluster to oust the plugs further into the cluster for better contact. All this seems to have helped as I only get the no bus message every few months instead of every week like it had been, but I was wondering if you knew of a better fix that would deal with the issue once and for all. Anyway, thanks for all the great videos, and I am sporting a out keeping decal on my 2001 Jeep Charokee XJ

I had the same issue with the Black '99 Sport 4x4. Constantly an issue that was never resolved. My current '99 Sport has never had the issue. She is a 2wd and has never been off road. I'm sure that is a major factor in whether or not the bus issue happens. Ultimately though, it is a design flaw in our beloved Cherokees.

Why did you get rid of the silver xj? You had so much done to it.

I like the hoodie! Where did you find it?

I have to do the same repairs on my 2000. I'm not a welder, but I might have to learn. What dia wire are you using? I've watched a bunch of these videos, doing this repair / intall. I'm impressed with the quality of your work. It looks great. (how much to do mine? LOL )

I'm using flux core .035 wire on a Lincoln 140 120v welder. The quality in wire makes a huge difference so I would stick with name brand.

Why would you want to stiffen the frame? You want some flex. Unibody is already stiffer tham body on frame

@OutJeeping

When you use the Jeep for more than just daily driving, you will experience cracks and stress fractures from offroading and larger tires. Stiffeners help to eliminate that as well as help aid any rust repair as well. You don't want your unibody to flex. That is what suspension is for.
