I need some frame rot repaired on an 89 YJ.
It's not in the spot where the available kits replace. Its on top of the frame where the rear shock mounts (circled in this pic, but this is NOT my jeep)

There is a hole in this spot.
I had the jeep at ECGS for some other work and they did not want to mess with it.
I would like to have it repaired correctly
any suggestions?
thanks

i am from the rust belt up newengland.

the biggest problem with most frame rust outs on the boxed frames like jeeps / toyotas / nissan is the rust is from the inside out.

when you open up that hole to get solid area to weld to most of the time you end up with a hole 4-5 x the orignal size.

biggest reason i have figured out over the years is lack of drainage holes in the bottom of the frame rails .

hope you dont have that bad of a problem. good luck on the fix.

If has anything to do with a Welder and it's in the state of NC I would of course have to recommend East Coast Gear Supply.If you are in Raleigh then it's even better,they are very close to you.

Adam,
Setup a time with me to bring it by ECGS again. I will take a look at it and may be able to help you out.

I was not here the last time you brought it by. Not sure whether Chase or John took a look at it but I may be able to take care of it for you.
