    while i was under the beast the other day, i noticed some rusted thru holes in the frame... i have been kicking around the idea of the 3" double tube frame from (quadratech?) and im looking for suggestions...

    i think the frame on this one has been abused pretty well in the last 32 years and some of the pieces just dont look like they sit well... ie the front spring shackle on the passenger side... it looks tweaked and my front wheels are toed out at the top...

    any opinioons on fish plate fixes or aftermarket frames?

    i dont wanna pony up a bunch of $$ for something that isnt going to work... and if i can find a viable substitute... i'll go with it...

    my goal is for it to be MOSTLY stock with my own personal touches....

    TIA!

    Throttle down customs frames look pretty sweet.

    Pretty spendy too,

    That's the old Matkins line. Best stuff on the market from everything I've heard.

    Wish you lived closer, I've got a pretty good 78 CJ-5 frame taking up space in my garage that I would like to get rid of. It needs a little repair but nothing major.
