Hunting Down a Frame - Moab

[mjotrainbrain]

As the title suggests, I'm in need of a frame around Moab, but here's the catch: the guy who's going to be picking it up for me won't be there until April. My 4Runner needs a new frame (I'm in Michigan; also, not urgent but I'd rather have a sweet rolling chassis ready to go, so I'm buying early). If I'm not mistaken, it MUST be from a 4wd V8 model in order to work with my 4x4 V8 drivetrain (I don't want to have to redo any mounts). It also needs to be absolutely spotless; whole point of going through all this effort is to have a rust free frame after all!

If you have one or have a lead on one that will be available around then let me know. The guy who will be picking it up for me is a great fabricator and has been for years, so I trust him to pick up a good one (I'm going to try to have several lined up for him to check out and pick the best). He's going down with 2 Jeeps and coming back with 1 so if you even have a whole rolling chassis, that can work if the price is right.

Also, if anybody has any general info relating to the process I'm going to undergo that they want to dump here feel free, but I'm mostly just putting this out there to get people in the area thinking. And mods, if this isn't allowed in this section just let me know where it would be acceptable for it to be and I'll gladly put it there.

I have what you need. I think, from everything I can tell 2WD and 4WD frames are exactly the same. Also the V6 and V8 appear to be exactly the same too.
Both of my frames are 2003 Sport frames from Texas or Oklahoma so they are completely rust free. The V6 frame is a rolling chassis and comes with everything including steering rack, steering column, exhaust, fuel lines, tank, brake lines. Everything underneath. $500 will a bill of sale.


The V8 has had both front frame extensions and the radiator cross support removed to repair my #3 and #4. The rear axle tube is bent and the fuel tank is gone, but everything else is there. $300 with a title. And I am on the way!
