I have a very good friend who owns a mid 90's Wrangler that has a cracked frame. He has gone through the effort of obtaining a new frame, but never swapped it. Follow-through has never been one of his attributes.

It has sat long enough that his better half wants it gone. I am interested in taking it off of his hands.

Are cracked frames fairly common for the Wrangler? The Jeep is essentially stock and I don't think it was abused, from my quick walk around there is no other noticable damage.

I have NOT seen the crack/break. Is there any confidence to be had in welding it? I do have access to a 200a MIG.

Then there's the replacement frame. Never having swapped a frame, how much work am I looking at?

Thanks for your time.

My apologies, frankly wasn't aware.

The name shall no longer pass my lips, but I'll still hunt and fish there, not effectively of course. The rabbits disappear when in season and the fish taunt me from their watery comfort.

Ladies and Gentlemen,
Having always wanted to own a Jeep, I've finally joined the "club" with a 00' Cherokee Sport. I want to add a receiver hitch to my toy and I need some advice on a bumper with integral 2" receiver. While I can purchase a Draw-tite hitch for $130, why drop that coin when a bumper might be only a few ducats more?

JCR seems to fit the bill at around $300 delivered without paint. Might there be any other suppliers one might recommend? I'd also be content to manufacture if someone can suggest/supply plans.

Other than occasional towing and recovery, my intentions are general trail riding. I'm currently stock and plan to stay that way for the foreseeable future. Coming from a 89' Subaru GL wagon that served me well offroad at the C&D, I don't currently see the need bolt on 33's and the like. At least for the moment.

Thanks for your time.
