Okay so i passed on the last one because the guy was kinda flaky.
I went to look at a new one today:
2000 Limited
151,000
Ran and drove well
The inside was immaculate
the frame looked good EXEPT when I dropped the spare tire I found the frame issues in the posts. It must have been because the salt was never washed off where the spare sat.
I was all set to buy this one until i found this frame damage. Has anyone dealt with this repair before? I'm always a bit wonky about welding anywhere near the gas tank, and I really don't know if I'd want to drop it especially now that it's like 20 degrees.
These pieces of the frame are like directly under the cargo area
