Frame question

[billychase1974]

Have any of you had your frame replaced before? If so how was the Jeep afterwards? Thank you for your feedback.

Was it in a wreck?

Never have and I don't think that is a common thing. You might want to try looking at Tacoma forums as older ones had a severe rust issue and 1000s of frames were replaced under warranty.

quite a few members have done frame swaps. should have zero issues with it other than possible loose connections on electrical fit close attention was not giving while installing/ reconnecting them

Yeah rear ended and insurance is replacing the frame

Should be fine, lots of people replace frames (more common in Jeeps due to the type of frame it is) the only problem you could have would be the people putting the frame back on the Jeep.. make sure they are good

A good friend of mine has had the frame replaced on 2 Wranglers in the past year. His wife’s JL Sport got rear ended and his JK Sahara was broadsided. He was concerned but when the JL came back good as new he had no problem having the JK done. Both are the same as before. The JL swap took about 3 weeks but his JK took 2 ½ months because of difficulty getting parts. The work was not done at a dealer but at a local body shop at his request.

Kind of a thing right now. The crazy prices for used vehicles has made it easier to repair vehicles that need a frame, or where it was hit on the frame necessitated it being replaced. It's a relatively easy "repair", just unbolt, bolt, repeat 1,000 times.

Remember, your vehicle started out as a frame and a box of parts (ok, not a box of parts, but a bunch of parts). It takes about one day to build a JL (Jeep manufacturing), from frame to driving it down the street.
