Frame Rot Repair Reference in NY/NJ

[gjbiren]

I have a 2002 Limited that needs frame rot repair.
I am looking for references from anyone in the NY/NJ area who has had this done at a shop and was at least satisfied with the service they got.

Thanks in advance.

There's a place in Linden that advertises on Craigslist. They work on Jeeps mainly but they say they do Toyota. Look into it.

I am very much considering a full frame swap on mine.

Frame is technically repairable, but I will need to have at least 4' rebuilt starting behind the front tabs/shocks...

Got a welder friend and he told me if a customer wanted that done, it would be well over 3k to fix.

I plan on getting a used frame from a junkyard (found 2, one had a front-end crash so I don't think it will be this one) for about 200$

If I prep-repair it and can't do the swap, the local dealership quoted me about 1200$ to do the whole thing, still cheaper than repairing it.

I really wish I can do it, because I won't send it to the dealer to fix.

That's my input on frame rot...
